Projected shots

Projected on target

0.26 per 90 × 0.98

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, 10 of 14 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 Nicolò Savona. 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

Nicolò Savona carries 1.7% of Nottingham Forest’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.134
    11% of defenders
  • Possession value per 900.261
    42% of defenders

Ranked against 119 defenders 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

per 90 · 2025/26

They account for 2.3% of their club’s recorded defensive work.

  • Tackles1.76
    57% of DEF
  • Blocks, clearances, interceptions3.25
    7% of DEF
  • Recoveries2.37
    7% of DEF
  • Defensive contribution5.00
    6% of DEF

Rates from 1,025 minutes, ranked against 113 defenders 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.
