A share of the attack says how much runs through Cody Gakpo. 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 passesCody Gakpo carries 10.4% of Liverpool’s build-up value.
- Build-up per 900.5330% of midfielders
- Possession value per 900.7530% of midfielders
Thin sample. Only 164 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. 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.
