The pitch's width in three equal strips, left, centre and right, as the shooter faces the goal.

Distance bands

How far from the centre of the goal a shot was taken, in metres: 0 to 6, 6 to 12, 12 to 18, 18 to 25, 25 or more.

Percentile

Where a figure per match stands among the players compared, from 0 (the lowest) to 100 (the highest); 75 means higher than about three in four of them.

Strengths and weaknesses

The player's three highest percentiles of 60 or more, and three lowest of 40 or less among the figures the player has logged.

Role

From two percentile scores against every outfield player, or every goalkeeper, on record: attacking work (goals, assists, key passes and shots on target a match) and control and defending work (passes, tackles, interceptions and clearances a match); a goalkeeper's are saves and passes a match. A score of 50 or more counts as more.

Rating

Every match starts at 6.0; actions move it up or down.

Per match

A total divided by the matches in this report; a substitute appearance counts as a match.
