Which Aston Villa player recovered the most balls?

Douglas Luiz, with 8 recoveries. Next: Ezri Konsa 4, Tyrone Mings 4.

Which Brighton & Hove Albion player made the most tackles?

Diego Gómez, with 5 tackles. Next: Danny Welbeck 2, James Milner 2.

Diego Gómez led Brighton & Hove Albion's defensive disruption with 5 tackles. That total was more than double the 2 challenges made by Danny Welbeck and James Milner.

How is the rating calculated?

The rating measures a single match: what the player produced against what they cost, compared with the average for their position in that league and season, and adjusted by position (a 70 for a forward is as hard to get as a 70 for a defender). A normal match is around 50, 70 is already very good and only one in a hundred goes above 80. It is not the NVP, which ranks the whole season.
