Ranked against 109 forwards with half a match a round or more, the same comparison the compare page makes.

Involvement in build-up

excludes their own shots and final passes

  • Build-up per 900.490
    98% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.951

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 9 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.
