In possession
Field tilt is each side's share of play in the final third.
Out of possession
↓ Lower is better, so the longer bar always wins. PPDA is opponent passes allowed per defensive action.
Carrying
Distances are how far the ball was moved forward, not how far anybody ran.
Beating the press
A take-on is a player going past an opponent with the ball at his feet.
Threat created
xT values where a possession reached; VAEP values every action by how much it shifted the chance of a goal.
Tempo
An attack is direct when it moves upfield quickly rather than through many passes.

Where these sides shoot from
2025/26 seasonEach attack set against the defence it meets, zone by zone. Season shares rather than a forecast; a figure beside a share is how far it sits from the league average, shown only where the gap is worth noticing.

Shot locations, not player movement: where the ball was struck from, not where anybody ran. Shares are of each club's own shots, so a side that shoots often is comparable with one that does not.
