Shot map

Every shot located, from 2025-26. Own goals are excluded — Understat files them against the defender at his own goal line, which would put 41 dots at the wrong end of the pitch.

Rates

Per 90 minutes over 2025-26. The bar under each figure is where it ranks among DEFs with a reliable Premier League sample — the raw rate on its own says very little, and the comparison is within position because a centre-back's xGI against forwards is meaningless.

Strongest on big chances (99th percentile among 109 DEFs) and expected goals excluding penalties (98th). Weakest on goals conceded (18th).

Career

Read from FPL's own history rather than the current-season aggregate: the two disagree for loan and transfer cases, and history is the one that is right. Expected stats are zero before 2022-23 because Opta data does not go back further.
