What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • Corners and set piecesSupplies 19% of Manchester City’s dead-ball danger, from 18 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered3 of 7 goals came with the game level or Manchester City behind.
  • On the pitch52% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Erling Haaland15 shots, 2.54 xG
  • Feeds Sávio5 shots, 0.63 xG
  • Fed by Kevin De Bruyne4 shots, 1.56 xG
  • Fed by Erling Haaland5 shots, 0.78 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Phil Foden. 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

Phil Foden carries 3.0% of Manchester City’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.277
    75% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.698
    71% 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.
