Involvement in build-up

excludes their own shots and final passes

Bruno Fernandes carries 11.2% of Manchester United’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.441
    75% of midfielders
  • Possession value per 900.838
    85% of midfielders

Ranked against 52 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 rather than the chance.

Height is shots, solid is on target, and the dashed rule is the 1.5 line.

How to read the ties. Each rate ties back to the league average: solid where the sample is settled, broken where it is still being shrunk toward the league, an open circle where there is no cohort to rank against.
