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 13% of Manchester City’s dead-ball danger, from 15 deliveries that became shots.
  • When it mattered3 of 4 goals came with the game level or Manchester City behind.
  • On the pitch52% of the minutes available to them.

Partnerships

  • Feeds Erling Haaland18 shots, 4.01 xG
  • Feeds Phil Foden6 shots, 1.40 xG
  • Feeds Nico O'Reilly5 shots, 1.31 xG
  • Feeds Sávio3 shots, 1.11 xG

A share of the attack says how much runs through Mathis Cherki. 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

Mathis Cherki carries 5.4% of Manchester City’s build-up value.

  • Build-up per 900.560
    99% of forwards
  • Possession value per 901.045
    98% of forwards

Ranked against 109 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.

Tackles, blocks and recoveries

They account for 4.7% of their club’s recorded defensive work.

Rates from 1,772 minutes, ranked against 149 midfielders with a comparable sample. The feed publishes season totals rather than a match-by-match record, so there is no hit rate against a line here. That needs the distribution, which no arithmetic on a total can recover. This statistic begins in 2025/26, so there is no earlier season to compare against.
