Every attacking action in a match - every pass, carry, dribble, and shot - is now attributed to the specific defender responsible for challenging it. Defensive Responsibility goes beyond counts of tackles and interceptions to measure the full scope of a defender's work: what they were asked to defend and how well they handled it relative to expectations. For the first time, this enables fair comparison of defenders across different teams, formations, and contexts.
