I take the general point here but there are a lot of reasons the radar does Partey an injustice. The axes are warped by outliers, and also possession adjusted def stats without poss adjusted att stats are bound to hurt a defensive-by-design team like Atleti [1/2] https://twitter.com/mixedknuts/status/1272520355756871680
the nature of the radars is made up for by the percentiles on the side of course, but you have to be paying attention to pick up that Partey is in the 80th percentile for deep progs and >70th in xGBuildup for an atleti side that's allergic to crossing the halfway line [2/2]
He isn't world class by the numbers, that much is true. But he isn't as garbage as the radar makes him look
