About these figures What each column measures, and the thresholds this ranking is under. Show

P: — Matches played
GA: — Goals conceded
npxGA: — Non-penalty expected goals against: xGA with penalties removed
npxGA/match: — Non-penalty expected goals against per match with xG data
GA − xGA: — Goals conceded minus xGA, over the matches with xG. Negative means fewer conceded than the chances allowed.
Shots ag.: — Shots allowed in the matches with shot data
npxGA/shot: — Average non-penalty expected goals per shot allowed

A club is ranked once it has 3 matches with xG and at least 75% of what the median club has played. Below that its row stays in the table, its rates are dashed and it sorts last.
