vs Ipswich

Sun 30 Aug, 15:30 UTC

No shot record for Ipswich in this season, so no opponent adjustment is possible. Newly promoted sides have no Premier League history to measure.

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.

Share of appearances clearing each line, with one standard error. Blank appearances count as misses, 7 of 30 here, so these are lower, and more honest, than rates built only from matches where the player got a shot away.

A share of the attack says how much runs through Rasmus Højlund. 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

Rasmus Højlund carries 3.0% of Manchester United’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.120
    23% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.467
    24% 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.
