What they are for

Roles

  • Open-play crosses8 crosses from open play became shots, worth 0.81 xG.

A share of the attack says how much runs through Ashley Young. 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

Ashley Young carries 7.2% of Everton’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.201
    25% of midfielders
  • Possession value per 900.266
    16% of midfielders

Ranked against 128 midfielders 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.
