BEYOND STATS, A PROJECT THAT BRINGS ADVANCED STATISTICS TO LALIGA FANS

The number of players involved in a single possession. This includes key events such as passes, dribbles, and clearances. It also accounts for both the player who gains possession and the player who loses it.

Possessions that end with an unblocked shot on goal, whether or not it results in a goal. This also includes possessions that lead to an own goal.

The space occupied by outfield players, excluding the goalkeeper. This can be measured with or without possession and analyzed based on game context, such as whether the team is winning, drawing, or losing.

Runs at speeds above 28 km/h covering at least 10 meters. These can occur with or without possession but must happen while the ball is in play. This metric tracks the total distance covered, the number of such actions, and the average distance per action.

The number of opponents bypassed along the x-axis between the point where a pass is made and where it is received. The pass must be forward and successfully completed. This metric also considers the distance to the nearest opponent when the receiver controls the ball.

Dribbles or ball carries that break the defensive line by moving past at least two players, including at least one defender. If the play occurs in the defensive third, it qualifies if the player surpasses at least one opponent, provided one is a defender. To count, the player must maintain an average speed above 15 km/h or reach a peak speed over 21 km/h.

Drives that result in a shot on goal (or hitting the post) within 10 seconds of the drive ending. The drive must cover at least 10 meters, last a minimum of 3 seconds, and advance beyond midfield.

The distance each player covers within 5 seconds of losing possession. The team metric is the total distance covered by all players during this period.

Ball recoveries where the number of opposing players between the recovery point and their goal is equal to or fewer than the number of players on the recovering team.
