Not sure if posted previously, couldn't find it.
I noticed this for the first time after thousands of matches played in FM24.. not sure if it's happened before but it was really easy to spot because of the timing.
Playing the in the English Championship with no VAR.
First shot of the game in the 2nd minute.
Highlight in the ME:
- cut back from close-in to an unmarked player 8 yards out centre of goal
- he shoots (on target) with another attacker in an offside position
- the ball hits a defender and deflects fractionally but still goes in, and the goal is awarded to the original attacker who shot
The score goes to 1-0, xG jumps to around 0.6.
Ref blows his whistle, offside. Score returns to 0-0, but the xG stays at 0.6 and the games goes on as normal.
I checked the ref's rating for that game and it was 7.1. If he'd made a howler and the goal should have stood, I'd expect it to be lower.
It's my understanding that disallowed goals don't count towards xG IRL and, as the goal was awarded (briefly) for the original shot, that's where play should have been called back to and the xG would be wiped.
Hardly game breaking, just thought I'd mention it.
For the save game file, it's the last game played vs Ipswich 2-2
