Season rate multiplied by what this opponent concedes relative to the league. It assumes a full ninety minutes and takes no account of rotation, so check availability before reading anything into it.

What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • Corners and set piecesSupplies 11% of Leicester’s dead-ball danger, from 12 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered5 of 5 goals came with the game level or Leicester behind.
  • On the pitch44% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Jamie Vardy5 shots, 0.98 xG
  • Feeds Jordan Ayew2 shots, 0.62 xG
  • Fed by Jamie Vardy4 shots, 1.30 xG
  • Fed by Abdul Fatawu1 shot, 0.77 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Facundo Buonanotte. These say what would have to be replaced. Losing the penalty taker or the corner deliverer is not the same as losing a proportional slice of output, and a partnership cuts both ways: the supplier being absent damages the finisher’s numbers too.

Season record

Involvement in build-up

excludes their own shots and final passes

Facundo Buonanotte carries 4.3% of Leicester’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.186
    39% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.466
    22% of forwards

Ranked against 104 forwards with a comparable sample. Build-up is the value of possessions a player was involved in with their own shots and final passes removed, so it credits the work before the chance. It is a possession-value measure rather than a passing one: it cannot tell a forty-yard carry from two sideways balls, because no pass or carry record exists in this data.
