OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Man United 29/9/24 at 4.30pm **

How do you hit 1.83 goals or whatever? It’s a load of fudging gonads.

Its the most overused start in the game and rarely tells the real story, just another stat that the stat junkies like to use. Mostly is has no REAL relevence.

Let me try to explain it with a simple example.
Player has 4 chances during a game, all 4 with an xG of 0,25.
That would give a total xG of 1.00. From those chances, the player is expected to get 1 goal.
If the player scores from 2 of those, he has outperformed the xG by 1.

It has it's flaws but is a good guide on the quality and number of chances created. Like every stat it can't be used in isolation. There's a reason that stats are now used by most clubs.
