This is also what the last-10-games Player Bets list on each fixture page’s Odds & Bets tab reads from.

Season by season

Every season on file for Moussa Niakhaté, most recent first, as far back as the data goes. For the Premier League this can reach further back than the current season’s Sportmonks-sourced columns: Understat’s own cached match history covers up to 6 seasons, so an earlier row may carry goals/assists/xG/xA while its tackles/interceptions/etc. show ‘-’ (Sportmonks itself only carries 3 seasons per league).
