The forward can't score in six consecutive matches.
1. Suarez's paradox
Surprisingly, the 32-year-old shots became more accurate but he scores fewer goals. Luis has only had better shooting accuracy in 2015/16, however, in his previous seasons, the goal conversion rate and the percentage of shots on target were coinciding. In 2018/19 a clear divergence could be observed:
2. Suarez is not a striker anymore
Barcelona continues benefitting from Luis's actions but these actions have been completely different this season. The Uruguayan is way more involved in the build-up this season while his expected goals and assists took an extremely significant dip in comparison to the previous seasons:
The vertical line signifies the number of expected goals and assists in the final stage of attack, the horizontal line shows the expected goals created through the player's participation in the build-up.
Thus, Suarez is becoming more useful outside of the penalty box.
How should Ernesto Valverde use Suarez?
