Pressure rates are not uniform across positions. Wide players — especially fullbacks — face the most pressure and make the highest proportion of their passes under pressure. The structural reason: the sideline eliminates half of all possible press escape angles, so a defender approaching from the field side already has half the job done. Deep players (defensive midfielders) and wide players are also heavily targeted because turnovers in those zones carry high value for the pressing team.
Correct benchmarking: always normalize pressure rates against the player's position before making judgments about whether pressure targeting is anomalous. A fullback at 15% of passes under pressure is normal; a central midfielder at 15% warrants investigation. Forwards in the attacking third also show high pressure rates due to being surrounded by defenders — high absolute pressure rate doesn't mean they're being exploited, it means they're playing in the right place.
