Frequently Asked Questions

Which Man City players make the most tackles?

Elliot Anderson leads with 15 tackles across 6 qualifying appearances (2.5/g, 100% hit rate). The tackle-rate table on this page lists every Man City player with their tackles per qualifying appearance (≥20 minutes), six-game form mask and current Bet365 1+ tackles price for the next fixture.

How does Man City's tackle profile look this season?

Man City are averaging 11.4 tackles per game over 10 games and concede 21.3 for a match-total of 32.7. That ranks 19th of 20 for team tackles in their primary competition. They average 6.71 tackles per take-on attempted against them (opposition averages 1.7 take-ons/g).

How is the tackle matchup read calculated?

Tackle matchup blends the defender's tackles per game (50%), the opposition attacker's take-on rate (30%), and the defender's underlying tackle propensity (20%). For the upcoming fixture against Liverpool, the page's matchup read uses each opposition forward's last-season dribble rate to weight Man City's defenders.

Where do these tackle stats come from?

All numbers come from match-level Sportmonks data ingested into Statz - 10 Man City fixtures in the active window for 2026/2027. Player odds come from Bet365 player markets when priced. Pre-match lineups are predicted lineups until team news lands, then confirmed.

What counts as a qualifying appearance?

A player must have featured for at least 20 minutes in a fixture for that match to count toward their tackle rate and form. Cameo appearances are excluded so the rates aren't diluted by 5-minute substitutions.

Do tackles count attempted or only successful?

We count attempted tackles per Sportmonks' definition. That matches what Bet365 settles 1+ tackles markets on, so the page's hit-rate and the bookmaker's pricing are aligned.
