About these figures What each column counts, and which feed it was counted from. Show

Min: Minutes played.
KP: Key passes: passes that led directly to a team-mate's shot.
xA: Expected assists: the quality of the chances he created for others, summed.
A: Assists.
A − xA: Assists less expected assists, over the matches with both.
xA/90: Expected assists per 90 minutes played.

Appearances, minutes, goals, assists and shots on this page are summed over the Championship matches we hold per-player figures for — the same matches the expected figures are summed over, so the two can be read against each other.
