Forward·4 apps·76 minsMatthew Smith has been a standout in the Premier Division this season, with a defensive workload that far exceeds the forward baseline. In just four appearances, he has accumulated 76 minutes and recorded three tackles, a rate of 3.55 tackles per 90 minutes compared with the baseline of 0.93. While his attacking output - zero goals, zero assists, zero shots and zero key passes - is below the forward average of 0.31 goals per 90, 1.66 shots per 90, and 1.11 key passes per 90, his contribution off the ball is clear. The 3.55 tackles per 90 demonstrate a high work rate, and the 0.0 interceptions and 0.0 successful dribbles per 90 show that his focus has been on defensive duties rather than creating or finishing chances. Matthew Smith’s season so far highlights a forward willing to lead the team’s defensive efforts.
Matthew Smith has played 76 minutes across 4 appearances in Premier Division, at 0.00 goals per 90 against a positional baseline of 0.31 and averaging 6.77 a match.
