Thin sample. Only 75 minutes, so this describes a cameo. 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.

Match log
No shots yet2 appearances this season, none of them containing a shot. The matches are counted in every rate above; there is simply nothing to draw.
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. 75 minutes leaves every tie here broken.
