What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • Open-play crosses5 crosses from open play became shots, worth 1.42 xG.
  • Corners and set piecesSupplies 23% of Manchester City’s dead-ball danger, from 16 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered3 of 4 goals came with the game level or Manchester City behind.
  • On the pitch36% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Erling Haaland17 shots, 5.22 xG
  • Feeds Phil Foden12 shots, 1.46 xG
  • Feeds Oscar Bobb1 shot, 0.91 xG
  • Feeds Julián Álvarez4 shots, 0.80 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Kevin De Bruyne. 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

Kevin De Bruyne carries 3.6% of Manchester City’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.568
    90% of midfielders
  • Possession value per 901.141
    99% of midfielders

Ranked against 128 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.
