Context-driven wobble
Aston Villa's downturn lines up with a harsher context than their season norm: tougher opponents, less settled selection, or heavier availability stress. The process dip looks real but not fully structural yet.
Sub-indices
+0.35 xG/90 against the season baseline.
-0.03 xGA/90 better than season norm.
-0.60 goals versus xG swing per match.

Opposition, rest, selection continuity, and current squad stress against the club's own season norm.

Consistency & variance
Swingy
PI-2 treats consistency as part results volatility and part process volatility. The xG and execution spreads show whether the recent run is simply noisier than the club’s usual season shape.
Event-depth status
Chance-quality status
The variance layer is live, but event-derived shot diagnostics are paused in live Premier League mode. Historical StatsBomb seasons are archive material here, not current diagnosis input.
Provider requirement
These PI layers only come back when the product has a current or recent Premier League event provider. Do not read the dormant state as a hidden historical fallback.
Territorial status
Territorial control is paused in live Premier League mode. The free StatsBomb archive in this repo is not current enough to support field-tilt or PPDA claims honestly.
Game-state status
Game-state diagnosis is also paused until a current event feed with score context exists. Historical open-data shots are not being stretched into live 2025/26 stories.
What changed?
Recent xG difference is +0.00 per match against the club's best five-game spell.
Finishing swing is -0.03 goals per match against the season baseline.
The last five have come against average opponent rank 10.8, versus 10.8 across the season.
Lineup continuity is +0.00 against the season norm.
What might help
Current squad stress is a real part of the picture
6 missing players and 46% availability impact are already weighing on the live team state.
What might help: Prioritise role-preserving replacements and rotation management before assuming tactical principles alone will solve the dip.

Aston Villa has dated xG coverage for 10/10 matches in the current window and 38/38 across the season sample used here.
PI-2: Chance-quality shot diagnostics are paused in live Premier League mode. The available StatsBomb feed is archival, not current-season evidence. PI-3: Territorial diagnostics are paused in live Premier League mode. Historical StatsBomb open data is not a current control signal for this product. PI-4: Game-state diagnostics are paused in live Premier League mode until a current event feed with score-context shots exists.
