0.93 xg p90 is ludicrous tbf.

 

Not far off Haaland numbers, relatively speaking...his is 1.03.

 

How does that translate into the reality of 4 goals in 12 appearances (in league)?

He played 530 minutes.

(Correction: Dessers got 16 league goals, not 16.) 

 

Danilo's goals per 90 was 0.68 compared to Dessers' 0.63.

 

Assist per 90 is 0.17  in Danilo's favour. 

 

Danilo also has a much higher xG per 90, too - 0.93 vs 0.76. 

 

He just looks like a better all-round forward, IMO. 

 

Ridvan's xA is 3.72, which is much higher than someone like Lawrence, surprisingly. It's 0.22 per 90, which is about 8 assists in a season (Tavernier had 10).

 

I don't disagree with his injury issue.

 

I would rather see Yilmaz start, but wouldn't be bothered either way. 

Serious question why are these stats quoted per 90? Does it inflate the stats? 

 

Did Yilmaz have 8 assists last season? That is a serious question as I can't remember him having that many

So 4 goals in 530 minutes rather than 4 goals in 12 appearances? 

 

Must be old fashioned as for me it's 4 in 12 😀

What those numbers basically tell us is that he's missed a few chances that should be buried - the difference of 0.25 between goals p90 and xG p90 will bear out in the 4 in 12 he got (0.68 goals p90 when he's expected to hit 0.93).

 

If he'd have hit 0.93 goals p90 he'd have only got 5.46 goals by my maths, let's call that 6.

 

Extrapolate that over 38 games and you're talking the difference between a 15 goal or 25 goal season probably.

 

It's not fancy stuff, the data backs up what your eyes told you - some players are monsters in the data but flatter to deceive in the eye test (Souttar).

 

All about context, and this provides it.

It's more accurate. For example, you were seeing Danilo's 4 goals in 12 as p*sh, but it wasn't a full 12 matches. It was 530 minutes, which is more like 6 full 90 minute matches. It's data decided by 90 minutes. 

 

The Yilmaz stat I gave you was expected assists. That's the quality of his chances created, not how many he actually assisted (which was 1). I know you'll not like it, though. It was just to show that there is something there. 

 

I'm not fussed either way between Yilmaz and Jefte - I've not seen the latter, though.

4 in 12 is misleading, though, isn't it. 530 minutes is only 6 full matches. 

 

A 1 minute cameo is an 'appearance', but you would not be punting a striker because he doesn't score in that 1 minute appearance. 

 

You could say your 4 in 12 is deflating the stats.

The squad of players above won't win the league and won't qualify for the CL Group stages..
