Sat 29 Aug, 11:30 UTC

Nottingham Forest concede 13.3 shots a match and are 1.20× the league norm against midfielders. A favourable draw.

Projected shots
3.16

2.80 per 90 × 1.13

Projected on target

1.05 per 90 × 1.02

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.

  • Over 2.511%± 7
  • Over 3.50%± 0

Share of appearances clearing each line, with one standard error. Blank appearances count as misses, 10 of 19 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 Rio Ngumoha. 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

Rio Ngumoha carries 1.3% of Liverpool’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.289
    61% of midfielders
  • Possession value per 900.835
    98% 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

per 90 · 2025/26

They account for 1.3% of their club’s recorded defensive work.

Rates from 547 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.
