GW26 - Roll FT
GW27 - Aguero to Jiménez
GW28 - Grealish and Woods to H Barnes and Vardy
GW29 - BB and roll FT.

WHO HAD THE BEST GOAL-SCORING CHANCES 18/19? - A thread.

Shots are great. They sometimes lead to goals. ⚽️

But which players averaged the best scoring opportunities (xG per shot) over the 18/19 season - excluding penalties?

Minimum 30 shots taken.
Opta data model.

(1/8) Average xG per shot isn't necessarily a measure of who is best FPL-wise.

Other factors to consider are finishing skill and volume of shots taken - but what is does show us is which players tend to get good chances on a regular basis. Across which playing positions.

"AND HE'S ON SET-PIECES......" - A SHORT THREAD

When valuing players, set-piece duties are rightly seen as a desirable "added extra". An opportunity for additional goals and assists throughout the season.

But how much value do freekicks and corners actually add?

(1/7) The answer very much depends on the player (and their team-mates), but an analysis across all players indicates that only 9 players gained 15 or more points across the season due to free-kicks and corners (not accounting for bonus points awarded).

A FOLLOW-ON THREAD - Expected Goals on Target (xGOT) revisited.

Many thanks for all your comments and feedback regarding my original thread on xGOT. It was great to share something that was new to me and hopefully might prove useful to us all.



(1/n) On the suggestion of @ahopcroft13, I have re-run the analysis with a focus on a particular type of player - those whose shots tend to be in (or around) the pen area.

In addition, realising that xGOT data was available from 17/18, the sample was extended to both seasons.

A (LONG) STATS THREAD - Expected Goals on Target (xGOT)

Those of a nervous disposition when it comes to expected stats should probably look away now. 😬

I'm going to discuss a concept that is new to me - xGOT. And how it might help FPL managers.

(1/15) Jokes about Game of Thrones and "Swords and Shields" aside, xGOT stands for "expected goals on target".

Whilst xG looks at the quality of a chance, xGOT looks at the quality of the actual shot. Is the shot high quality (in the corner of the goal) or low (centre of goal)?
