Eredivisie finishing: goals vs xG 2026/2027

About these figures What each column counts, and which feed it was counted from. Show

Min: Minutes played.
Shots: Shots he has taken in this competition this season.
npG: Goals with penalties taken out.
npxG: Expected goals with penalties taken out.
npG − npxG: Non-penalty goals less non-penalty xG.
Per shot: npG − npxG divided by the shots he took.

A player is listed once the median Eredivisie club has played 6 matches, with at least 450 minutes and 2.0 non-penalty xG, and only where his non-penalty goals are 1.0 or more from his non-penalty xG — the 10 furthest each way. Every count is summed over the matches we hold per-player figures for, and penalties are taken out of both halves on the shot feed's flag.
