Involvement in build-up

excludes their own shots and final passes

Dejan Kulusevski carries 4.7% of Tottenham’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.217
    54% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.603
    46% of forwards

Ranked against 104 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 rather than the chance.

8 blanksno shot

Height is shots, solid is on target, and the dashed rule is the 1.5 line. The feed cannot date an appearance with no shot in it, so 8 sits at the end, counted but unplaced.

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.
