Involvement in build-up

excludes their own shots and final passes

Nico González carries 10.5% of Newcastle United’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.465
    79% of midfielders
  • Possession value per 900.702
    67% of midfielders

Thin sample. Only 350 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 by match

Match log

No shots yet5 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. 350 minutes leaves every tie here broken.
