Table 3. Equity of possession phases, averaged over field.

Phase	Mean Equity	Comments
Set	+1.61(2)	Being awarded a free kick in the centre circle is worth more than 1½ points on the scoreboard
Directed	+1.32(2)	About half-way between Loose and Set, this Phase tends to show up the good decision makers
Loose	+1.11(2)	Even if the options aren’t great, it’s still worth more than two points on the scoreboard to be in the right place instead of his opponent
Hard	+0.80(3)	Half the value of a set shot, compared to a 50/50 Phase
