About Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland, a Norwegian centre-forward, currently plays for Manchester City, where he has quickly established himself as a formidable attacking force. Known for his exceptional pace, strength, and clinical finishing, Haaland is a nightmare for defenders. Born July 21, 2000, in Leeds, England, Haaland began his career with Bryne FK in Norway, before moving to Molde FK. His prolific form earned him a transfer to Red Bull Salzburg, where his goal-scoring prowess caught the attention of Borussia Dortmund, leading to a move in January 2020. Haaland's time in the Bundesliga further cemented his reputation as one of the most promising talents in world football, earning him a high-profile switch to Manchester City in 2022. He is also a key player for the Norwegian national team, where he continues to demonstrate his goal-scoring abilities on the international stage.

Data explained

What is Plus Minus Goals (G±)?

Plus Minus Goals (G±) is the average goal difference per game while the player was on the pitch. A value above 0 indicates that the team rather wins, a value below 0 means his team concedes more goals than they score when the player is on the pitch. As an example, if the player's team is winning 3:1 the goal difference is +2, if the player's team is loosing 0:1, the goal difference is -1. It is a pure metric which is barely adjusted for circumstances to purely show the goal difference.

What is GAP?

GAP (Game Advantage Percentage) shows the percentage gap between a player and the average league player. It answers the question: How much does a player improve or worsen a team's performance? It is based on high level game data with a focus on the impact on the goal difference (G±) from the last 50 games of a player. Besides that, GAP goes further and considers game context by involving data from the player and all other players who are at the same time on the pitch, no matter if teammates or opponents. Football GAP - the individual metric for team players.
