What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • Open-play crosses6 crosses from open play became shots, worth 1.57 xG.

  • Fed by Bruno Guimarães7 shots, 0.60 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Jacob Murphy. 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

Jacob Murphy carries 3.3% of Newcastle United’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.365
    84% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.855
    80% of forwards

Ranked against 107 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.
