How this is counted
Player tables count starts in 104 Saudi Pro League matches in the 2026-27 season, Aug 13, 2026 to Oct 31, 2026, for outfield players with 5 or more starts. A rung is the share of starts strictly over the line. Tackles are Opta's total tackles, fouls are fouls committed, fouls drawn are times fouled. The possession section uses 208 team games, each team's possession against the other team's tackles and fouls. A correlation of 1 would mean possession explains the stat fully, 0 not at all. A team's opponent fouls come from the team's fouls won, because OpticOdds stores fouls committed at the team level as 0. Only matches with full Opta coverage in OpticOdds are counted, so a match with missing stats never reads as zeros.
