Involvement in build-up

excludes their own shots and final passes

Ismaila Sarr carries 3.5% of Crystal Palace’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.131
    40% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.524
    54% of forwards

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 5 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.
