Jaedyn Shaw played once for Gotham in the window. She started and played 62 minutes at Racing Louisville FC on September 11, a 2-1 win, and she scored and assisted in it. Her line from that match is one goal, one assist, 2 key passes, 2 interceptions, 1 of 3 duels won and 19 of 26 passes completed, and her only shot of the match was on target.
On the production rule the pool uses, which weights goals and assists most and adds small credit for chances created, carries and defensive actions, that is a week score of 6.8. It is the highest in the pool this week and it is not tied; Michelle Cooper is next at 5.8. The rule that names a player of the week takes the highest last-seven-days production among players with 45 or more minutes in the window, and 28 of the 43 in the pool cleared that bar. Shaw was one of only two players in the pool to score in the window and one of only two to assist.
The season line behind it is 21 appearances, all 21 of them starts, 1,779 minutes and 82 percent of Gotham's available league minutes across the club's 24 matches. She has seven goals and five assists, 29 key passes, 4 big chances created, 46 shots, 47 tackles and 73 of 142 duels won. Her season production score is 4.19, the seventh highest in the pool, so this week ran at 2.35 times her own season rate, which is what the HOT tag means.
She is 21 and in the squad tier, named in five squads in the last twelve months, the last of them on June 10, and she started one of them. That is 25 points of standing against a lock's 40, and it is why the best week in the pool puts her sixth rather than higher. Her week production score is the full 10 points the rule allows for it, and the HOT tag adds 4 more; without the form points she would rank seventh rather than sixth. She was on the bench for the last national-team match, the 1-0 at Brazil on June 10.
Picked by rule: the highest last-seven-days production score in the pool among players with at least 45 minutes in the window.
