Where WAR comes from (in wins)
The value of his shots: the quality of the chance and what he makes of it.
How his passes change his team's chances of scoring and conceding.
Fouls drawn (free kicks, penalties won) minus fouls committed.
Breaking up the opponent's play: tackles, interceptions, clearances, blocked shots.
Carrying the ball and beating defenders, minus the balls lost.
Getting open and receiving the ball in dangerous areas.
The parts above are measured against the position average. This adjustment moves the baseline to a fringe player in his group, prorated by minutes: positive when fringe players do worse than average, negative when they do better.
