vs Arsenal

Mon 31 Aug, 19:00 UTC

Arsenal concede 9.6 shots a match and are 0.77× the league norm against midfielders. A difficult one.

Projected shots

Projected on target

0.20 per 90 × 0.71

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
  • Corners and set piecesSupplies 7% of Aston Villa’s dead-ball danger, from 10 deliveries that became shots.
  • On the pitch66% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Ollie Watkins5 shots, 1.29 xG
  • Feeds Marcus Rashford2 shots, 0.36 xG
  • Fed by Ross Barkley1 shot, 0.51 xG
  • Fed by Lucas Digne2 shots, 0.39 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through John McGinn. 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

John McGinn carries 5.7% of Aston Villa’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.291
    58% of midfielders
  • Possession value per 900.474
    61% of midfielders

Ranked against 137 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.
