Ball-winning (tackles, interceptions and fouls won) is worth −0.08 a match, 23rd of 30. It sits outside both columns, which cover value created and value allowed.

Bars are the gap to the average MLS team, not to zero. A positive number is better than average on both sides. On the right that means opponents get less out of that job than they manage against an average side. Above better, below worse. Rank out of 30. Tap the panel title for what each job counts.
