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 10% of Aston Villa’s dead-ball danger, from 16 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered5 of 6 goals came with the game level or Aston Villa behind.
  • On the pitch89% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Ollie Watkins16 shots, 3.13 xG
  • Feeds Matthew Cash4 shots, 0.63 xG
  • Fed by Leon Bailey7 shots, 1.57 xG
  • Fed by Douglas Luiz7 shots, 0.68 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through John McGinn. 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

John McGinn carries 9.7% of Aston Villa’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.408
    70% of midfielders
  • Possession value per 900.613
    71% of midfielders

Ranked against 128 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.
