What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • PenaltiesTakes them: 2 of 10 Manchester City were awarded.
  • Corners and set piecesSupplies 7% of Manchester City’s dead-ball danger, from 23 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered6 of 11 goals came with the game level or Manchester City behind.
  • On the pitch78% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Erling Haaland15 shots, 1.82 xG
  • Feeds Phil Foden13 shots, 1.20 xG
  • Fed by Phil Foden13 shots, 1.98 xG
  • Fed by Erling Haaland12 shots, 1.70 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Julián Álvarez. 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

Julián Álvarez carries 6.0% of Manchester City’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.439
    93% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.911
    85% of forwards

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. 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.
