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
  • PenaltiesTakes them: 1 of 3 Nottingham Forest were awarded.
  • Open-play crosses6 crosses from open play became shots, worth 0.41 xG.
  • Corners and set piecesSupplies 25% of Nottingham Forest’s dead-ball danger, from 25 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered2 of 4 goals came with the game level or Nottingham Forest behind.
  • On the pitch97% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Chris Wood4 shots, 0.98 xG
  • Feeds Morgan Gibbs-White11 shots, 0.79 xG
  • Feeds Taiwo Awoniyi3 shots, 0.72 xG
  • Feeds Igor Jesus11 shots, 0.50 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Elliot Anderson. 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

Elliot Anderson carries 13.3% of Nottingham Forest’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.323
    72% of midfielders
  • Possession value per 900.440
    59% 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

They account for 17.9% of their club’s recorded defensive work.

Rates from 3,332 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.
