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.

  • Fed by Bruno Guimarães18 shots, 3.14 xG
  • Fed by Joe Willock7 shots, 1.14 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Alexander Isak. 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

Alexander Isak carries 3.1% of Newcastle United’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.114
    13% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.836
    88% 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.
