Every finished fixture with a shaped teamsheet, across three seasons, in the leagues Per90 covers — with one exception. French Ligue 1 is absent because its feed supplies lineups without a formation, so no role can be read from them. The page states the leagues it found.

Why are some matches missing?

A match whose teamsheet carries no formation cannot have roles assigned, so it is excluded and counted rather than folded into a generic bucket. The count is shown under the summary.

Position Stats

119 teams with shaped teamsheets, from Bundesliga, Championship, La Liga, Premier League and Serie A. French Ligue 1 is absent: its feed supplies lineups without a formation, so no role can be read from them.

Pick a team and an exact on-pitch role, and see what that role produces for them — or what they allow to it. Every role is read from that match’s own teamsheet and formation, so a player who started at right wing in one game and centrally in the next counts in two different places. A profile position is never used.

How to read this page

Produced is what this team’s own player in that role did. Allowed is what opposing players in that role did against them.

The role comes from the teamsheet: which line a player was in and where across it. A back four gives full-backs; a back five gives wing-backs.

Starters only, 20 minutes minimum. Substitutes have no place in a formation, so they are not counted in one.

Questions about this page

What does "position" mean on this page?

The role a player actually occupied in that match, read from the teamsheet: which line he was in and where across it. A back four gives full-backs, a back five gives wing-backs, and a 4-2-3-1 separates the holding pair from the three behind the striker.

Is it based on where a player usually plays?

No. A profile position is never used. A player who started at right wing in one match and centrally in the next counts in two different roles, which is the point of the page.

What is the difference between produced and allowed?

Produced is what this team’s own player in that role did. Allowed is what opposing players in that role did against them. The same filters, the other side of the fixture.

Are substitutes included?

No. A substitute has no place in a formation, so he cannot be assigned a role from one. Starters only, and appearances under 20 minutes are excluded as everywhere else on the site.
