Creating space is the key to breaking down low blocks and often comes via off-ball movement. Alternatively, there are times when a single player's gravity attracts defenders and it creates space for others. [Credit: Last Row | Metrica Sports]

@LineupsManu VAEP is certainly less "robust" for defenders. It gives players direct credit for successful tackles, but that can be biased by volume/team style. The Come On Man 's recent work is probably the current public gold standard for evaluating defenders. x.com/OptaPro/status…
