Goals include penalties, and expected goals include penalty chances wherever the provider counts them, so G−xG is taken over both. npxG leaves penalty chances out. The provider publishes it as a figure of its own rather than as expected goals less penalties, so the gap between the two is mostly a player's penalty chances but not only that — for a player who took none, npxG can come out above xG. No column here takes it from goals: nothing this page holds counts a player's non-penalty goals.

Rates per ninety minutes are shown for a player with at least 270 minutes behind him — the control above moves that floor, and it moves nothing else. Minutes share is a player's minutes against the 7 matches this club has played in this competition, at ninety minutes each. Expected goals, non-penalty expected goals and expected assists are summed from this competition's per-match feed, so a player it holds no figures for carries a dash rather than a nought.

About the data

Where these figures come from, and what they leave out

Data source
Appearances, starts, minutes, goals and assists are the provider's season line. Expected goals, expected assists and non-penalty expected goals are summed from its per-match feed over this club's fixtures. Eredivisie only — no figure here adds two competitions together.
Calculated by xgEdge
xGI, the per-90 rates, goals minus expected goals, xGI share and minutes share are worked out here from those figures. Nothing on this page is a model's output.
Missing data
A dash means a figure was not measured; a nought means it was measured and came to nothing. Per-90 figures are hidden below the minimum-minutes setting, which opens at 270 and never removes a row.
