Expected goals measure the quality of the chances a player gets, with every shot scored between 0 and 1 by how often shots like it are converted. A player's xG is those values added up, so the gap between the goals they scored and their xG shows whether they finished better or worse than their chances deserved. Expected assists apply the same idea to the pass before the shot, scoring every chance a player creates by how often shots like it go in. Underlying data is supplied by Sportmonks.
