Involvement in build-up

excludes their own shots and final passes

Liam Delap carries 2.8% of Nottingham Forest’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.210
    63% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.904
    81% of forwards

Thin sample. Only 354 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.

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. 354 minutes leaves every tie here broken.
