for me, it’s pretty confusing in quite a few instances, but, just to give an example: if the striker shoots and the keeper saves it, but the striker taps in the rebound, how is xG counted? is it counted twice or just once? or, what if neither shot goes in?
xG is a yank statistic. Whenever someone adds in random numbers like 5.86 xG, I’m always sarcastically like “WAOW so that means team would have scored 10 goals this match.”
