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.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Viktor Gyokeres2 shots, 1.09 xG

  • Fed by Bukayo Saka5 shots, 0.71 xG
  • Fed by Max Dowman1 shot, 0.47 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Gabriel Martinelli. 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

Gabriel Martinelli carries 2.9% of Arsenal’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.317
    86% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.880
    93% 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

Rates from 1,065 minutes, ranked against 149 midfielders 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.
