A share of the attack says how much runs through Jean-Philippe Mateta. 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 passesJean-Philippe Mateta carries 2.6% of Crystal Palace’s build-up value.
- Build-up per 900.09720% of forwards
- Possession value per 900.61472% of forwards
Ranked against 109 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.
Tackles, blocks and recoveries
per 90 · 2025/26They account for 4.5% of their club’s recorded defensive work.
- Tackles0.4124% of FWD
- Blocks, clearances, interceptions2.3688% of FWD
- Recoveries2.3255% of FWD
- Defensive contribution5.0979% of FWD
Rates from 2,210 minutes, ranked against 33 forwards 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.
