Maaka Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 For now, xG (link: expected goals, or here: explained at BBC) is not an actual in-game statistic. BUT, is it possible to somehow calculate xG from the already available stats from each game (apart from watching every single game in full)? No, football isn't as much a stats game as baseball or gridiron football, or even hockey and basketball, where WAR (GAR) and similar "more important" stats can tell you quite a lot, but still, I'd like to see xG in-game, but until it's possible, I'd like to know if it's possible (or even plausible) to calculate the xG from the stats that are available.

alian62 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Interesting concept. I think it could be implemented. It's just really goals scored from goals attempted . So 1 from 9 against team A or 2 from 6 against team B . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
