Flanks and routes
Danger conceded by flank
left against right · open play onlyNo meaningful side bias. Tottenham concede about evenly on both flanks, so neither is worth targeting over the other.
Set pieces are excluded, since a corner has no flank. Sides within ten points of an even split are treated as level, since a season is short enough that smaller gaps are usually noise.
Crosses or through balls
open play onlyTottenham take 25% of their open-play danger from crosses and 8% from balls played through the middle.
Measured from the action immediately before each shot. This shows whether a side works the ball wide or through the middle; which flank they progress down cannot be derived, because no free source publishes pass locations.
Who does the work
Territory and pressing
1.00 = league averageTottenham move the ball about as the league does.
- Territory won0.80×
5.4 deep completions a match
- Territory allowed1.00×
6.8 conceded a match
- Pressing1.13×
11.0 opponent passes per defensive action
- Freedom to build0.81×
10.0 of their own passes allowed
- Danger per arrival1.07×
0.227 npxG per deep completion
A deep completion is a pass finished within about twenty yards of goal, and PPDA counts an opponent’s passes per defensive action. A lower figure is a harder press, so the bar inverts it to keep every row reading the same way. This describes where the ball ends up rather than how it travelled: no pass or carry record exists in this data, so progressive passes and carries are genuinely out of reach rather than merely absent.
Share of attacking output
non-penalty xG plus expected assistsTottenham’s attack is effectively 14.2 players. A side spread across fourteen absorbs an absence that one built on nine does not.
22.3% of their attack is doubtful or out. Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, Cristian Romero, Djed Spence.
- Richarlison16.1%
- Xavi SimonsInjured8.9%
- Mathys Tel7.5%
- Pedro Porro6.8%
- Mohammed Kudus6.0%
Share of the squad’s non-penalty xG plus expected assists, so it counts chances taken and chances given alike. Penalties are left out because they describe who the club nominates rather than who creates. Contributors under 2% are not listed, though they still count towards the spread above.
Share of defensive work
tackles, blocks, clearances, recoveriesTottenham’s defensive work is effectively 15.0 players. A side spread across fourteen absorbs an absence that one built on nine does not.
21.4% of their defensive work is doubtful or out. Cristian Romero, Xavi Simons, Djed Spence, Wilson Odobert.
- Rodrigo Bentancur11.1%
- Pedro Porro8.7%
- Micky van de Ven8.4%
- Cristian RomeroUnavailable7.8%
- Kevin Danso7.6%
- Pape Sarr7.3%
Share of the squad’s defensive contribution: tackles, blocks, clearances, interceptions and recoveries combined. Goalkeepers record none of it, so a keeper never appears here however much the side depends on him. This statistic begins in 2025/26, so there is no earlier season to compare against.

The pass immediately before the shot, so a player who starts moves without playing the final ball will not appear here. Roughly seven in ten shots name their creator.
How the season splits
Danger by scoreline
leading, level or behindTottenham produce most of their danger with the game level (43% of their xG).

The scoreline at the moment each shot was struck, rebuilt from goal times. Sides that trail often will look busier in attack than they really are.
Home and away
same team, two recordsTottenham travel well. Their home and away numbers are close.
Shots faced and shots stopped
two different jobsTottenham allow 1.48 xG a match, and concede 8.5 more goals than the league converts that into.

xG allowed per match. Mostly the outfield shape, and it tends to repeat.
Goals prevented against the league rate. Largely the keeper, and it swings year to year.
Measured against the league’s own conversion rate rather than raw xG. Blocked and off-target shots carry xG that can never be scored, so comparing goals to raw xG would mark every side in the division as leaky. A high block share means bodies in the way rather than chances denied.
