Gameweek 2

away to Sunderland

Sun 30 Aug, 13:00 UTC

No shot record for Sunderland in this season, so no opponent adjustment is possible. Newly promoted sides have no Premier League history to measure.

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.

Share of appearances clearing each line, with one standard error. Blank appearances count as misses, 11 of 31 here, so these are lower, and more honest, than rates built only from matches where the player got a shot away.

What they are for

Roles

penalties, set pieces, crossing, partnerships
  • PenaltiesTakes them: 2 of 2 Fulham were awarded.
  • Corners and set piecesSupplies 6% of Fulham’s dead-ball danger, from 16 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered2 of 4 goals came with the game level or Fulham behind.
  • On the pitch61% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Alex Iwobi8 shots, 1.31 xG
  • Feeds Rodrigo Muniz7 shots, 0.88 xG
  • Fed by Andreas Pereira10 shots, 0.60 xG
  • Fed by Tom Cairney5 shots, 0.52 xG

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

Willian carries 8.8% of Fulham’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.402
    88% of forwards
  • Possession value per 900.588
    50% of forwards

Ranked against 107 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.
