Which Chelsea player completed the most dribbles?

Enzo Fernández, with 3 completed dribbles. Next: Noni Madueke 2, Cole Palmer 2.

Enzo Fernández led Chelsea with 3 completed dribbles, ahead of attackers Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer, who had 2 each. The midfielder provided the primary spark to bypass pressure with the ball at his feet.

Which Manchester City player completed the most dribbles?

Josko Gvardiol, with 5 completed dribbles. Next: Phil Foden 2, İlkay Gündoğan 1.

Josko Gvardiol led Manchester City with 5 completed dribbles, well ahead of Phil Foden (2) and İlkay Gündoğan (1). The defender served as an unexpected primary outlet to break past Chelsea's defensive lines.

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.
