Progressive Passing
This type of passing is measured by a ball being delivered to a teammate 10 yards further up the pitch or into the penalty box.
All midfielders are encouraged to play balls forward, rather than sideways or backwards, and it is particularly advocated in teams who are keen on being positive in possession.
Kone is again better on this metric (5.84 progressive passes per 90), compared to Lavia (4.14).
