How the chances arrive
Aston Villa
What would actually have to be replaced. Losing the penalty taker is not the same as losing a proportional slice of Ollie Watkins’output.
2023/24
Ollie Watkins carries 4.2% of Aston Villa’s build-up value.
Ranked against 107 forwards with a comparable sample. 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. The feed cannot date an appearance with no shot in it, so 2 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.
