What they are for

Roles

  • PenaltiesTakes them: 1 of 7 Brighton were awarded.
  • When it mattered9 of 10 goals came with the game level or Brighton behind.
  • On the pitch63% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Yankuba Minteh4 shots, 0.93 xG

  • Fed by Georginio Rutter7 shots, 1.71 xG
  • Fed by Yankuba Minteh8 shots, 1.51 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Danny Welbeck. 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

Danny Welbeck carries 4.4% of Brighton’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.246
    67% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.649
    61% 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.
