What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • Open-play crosses5 crosses from open play became shots, worth 1.32 xG.
  • Corners and set piecesSupplies 16% of Manchester City’s dead-ball danger, from 23 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered3 of 4 goals came with the game level or Manchester City behind.
  • On the pitch50% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Erling Haaland12 shots, 2.42 xG
  • Feeds Phil Foden4 shots, 1.56 xG
  • Feeds Bernardo Silva4 shots, 1.07 xG
  • Feeds Omar Marmoush3 shots, 1.03 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 4.9% of Manchester City’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.459
    98% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.992
    95% of forwards

Ranked against 104 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.
