Crystal Palace concede 11.7 shots a match and are 0.89× the league norm against midfielders. A difficult one.

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 5% of Manchester City’s dead-ball danger, from 3 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered3 of 5 goals came with the game level or Manchester City behind.
  • On the pitch77% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Erling Haaland8 shots, 1.82 xG
  • Fed by Mathis Cherki5 shots, 1.31 xG
  • Fed by Jéremy Doku7 shots, 1.10 xG
  • Fed by Erling Haaland2 shots, 0.81 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Nico O'Reilly. 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

Nico O'Reilly carries 7.2% of Manchester City’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.503
    94% of midfielders
  • Possession value per 900.722
    93% of midfielders

Ranked against 142 midfielders 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.

Tackles, blocks and recoveries

per 90 · 2025/26

They account for 6.0% of their club’s recorded defensive work.

  • Tackles2.28
    82% of DEF
  • Blocks, clearances, interceptions3.58
    10% of DEF
  • Recoveries3.68
    52% of DEF
  • Defensive contribution5.86
    16% of DEF

Rates from 2,643 minutes, ranked against 113 defenders with a comparable sample. The feed publishes season totals rather than a match-by-match record, so there is no hit rate against a line here. That needs the distribution, which no arithmetic on a total can recover. This statistic begins in 2025/26, so there is no earlier season to compare against.
