Defending

Season figures recorded by the data provider, with a per-90 view where it makes sense. A statistic the provider never recorded is shown as not available, never as zero.

For every appearance we take the player's minutes and the opponent's own recorded possession in that fixture, and multiply them to get opponent-possession minutes. Season actions from those fixtures are then divided by the summed opponent-possession minutes and shown per 30 of them. Based on 231 opponent-possession minutes across 6 matches (100% of recorded minutes).

Methodology

Data source

Match, lineup, event and player statistics come from Sportmonks and are stored per fixture. Only completed fixtures with recorded minutes are aggregated. Announced lineups and future fixtures are excluded.

Per 90 minutes

A per-90 value scales a season total to a full match: total × 90 ÷ minutes played. It is not calculated when minutes are missing or zero.

Missing data

The provider omits some statistics instead of sending a zero. A missing value is shown as "not available" and never converted to 0, so rates and percentiles are only produced where the underlying fields genuinely exist.

Impact Score

The Football Performance Lab Impact Score is an experimental in-house model that combines role-relative percentile families with explicit weights. It is not an official rating and not a measure of transfer value.

Minimum samples

Values are calculated internally from 180 minutes, but a player is only shown publicly with a ranked Impact Score from 360 minutes and 5 appearances, with at least 90% metric coverage and an established role. A single appearance contributes a match impact observation from 30 minutes.
