Season rate multiplied by what this opponent concedes relative to the league. It assumes a full ninety minutes and takes no account of rotation, so check availability before reading anything into it.

What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • PenaltiesTakes them: 2 of 6 Bournemouth were awarded.
  • Open-play crosses5 crosses from open play became shots, worth 1.04 xG.
  • Corners and set piecesSupplies 9% of Bournemouth’s dead-ball danger, from 8 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered7 of 7 goals came with the game level or Bournemouth behind.
  • On the pitch81% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Evanilson8 shots, 1.90 xG
  • Feeds Eli Junior Kroupi10 shots, 0.84 xG
  • Feeds Ryan Christie3 shots, 0.84 xG
  • Fed by Rayan3 shots, 1.43 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Marcus Tavernier. These say what would have to be replaced. Losing the penalty taker or the corner deliverer is not the same as losing a proportional slice of output, and a partnership cuts both ways: the supplier being absent damages the finisher’s numbers too.

Season record

Involvement in build-up

excludes their own shots and final passes

Marcus Tavernier carries 8.4% of Bournemouth’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.264
    47% of midfielders
  • Possession value per 900.577
    85% of midfielders

Ranked against 142 midfielders 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. It is a possession-value measure rather than a passing one: it cannot tell a forty-yard carry from two sideways balls, because no pass or carry record exists in this data.

Tackles, blocks and recoveries

Rates from 2,732 minutes, ranked against 149 midfielders with a comparable sample. The feed publishes season totals rather than a match-by-match record, so there is no hit rate against a line here. That needs the distribution, which no arithmetic on a total can recover. This statistic begins in 2025/26, so there is no earlier season to compare against.
