Cross-layer insights (interpretive)
Anchored to season side bias — not updated by pitch swaps.
Team overload is elsewhere (+18.9) but Edu Expósito is an on-ball creator stationed on the weaker flank — may need local possession to impact.
Heuristic classification — validate against match film for high-stakes use.
Team season lean (+18.9) favors this flank and Jofre Carreras is an on-ball creator type — overload feeds the primary chance creator.
