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.

What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • When it mattered2 of 3 goals came with the game level or Arsenal behind.
  • On the pitch89% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Gabriel Jesus1 shot, 0.63 xG
  • Fed by Bukayo Saka11 shots, 1.47 xG
  • Fed by Declan Rice6 shots, 1.22 xG
  • Fed by Martin Odegaard5 shots, 0.84 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Gabriel. 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

Gabriel carries 7.6% of Arsenal’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.364
    70% of defenders
  • Possession value per 900.390
    65% of defenders

Ranked against 135 defenders 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.
