About the data

Where every figure on this page came from, and how every figure calculated here was calculated.

Three sources

The provider's season line
One record per player per competition-season, refreshed only when it is bought again, so it can stand a few rounds behind the matches. The source of the rating, duel, dribble and pass figures in Full stats, which nothing else carries, and of the counts in a competition-season the per-match feed holds no match of his in. Full stats prints the day it was fetched.
The provider's per-match feed
One record per player per match, kept current for 18 competitions, each from the season its coverage began. The source of xA, npxG and touches, of xG where there is no shot feed, and of appearances, starts, minutes, goals, assists, shots, shots on target, key passes and big chances created wherever it holds a match he played. Summed over one competition-season at a time.
This site's shot-by-shot model
An xG value for every shot, for the same competitions. The source of xG wherever it exists, and of the shot map.

Which xG

Where a competition has the shot feed, xG is this site's sum over his shots; otherwise it is the provider's per-match figure. The two are slightly different definitions of expected goals, so they are never mixed inside one competition-season.

On this page, xG is this site's shot-by-shot figure — Swiss Super League has the shot feed.

Which counts

Appearances, starts, minutes, goals, assists, shots, shots on target, key passes and big chances created are summed from the per-match feed over that competition's fixtures wherever it holds a match he played in that competition-season, and are the provider's season line only where it holds none. One source for all nine together, chosen once per competition-season rather than figure by figure, so a count is never set against an expected figure summed on a different day.

On this page, the counts are summed from the per-match feed — it holds his Swiss Super League matches this season. The season line is read only for the figures in Full stats that no other feed carries.

Rules

A per-90 figure about him needs 270 minutes — three full matches. A per-90 league rank needs 450 minutes, because a rank sets him against everybody else in the competition and a short run at the top of a table displaces a player with a whole season behind him.

A dash is a figure nobody measured; a nought is a figure measured at nought. A sum over no rows is a dash, and a division by nothing is a dash rather than zero.

Every section above Every season counts one competition in one season — Swiss Super League 2026/2027 — and only the matches he played. Every season counts his whole career, every competition. No figure is summed across competitions.

Formulas

xG
The sum of this site's per-shot xG over his shots in this competition-season where it has the shot feed; otherwise the sum of the provider's per-match xG.
xA
The sum of the provider's per-match xA over his matches in this competition-season.
xGI
xG + xA. A dash unless both exist.
Goals − xG
Goals − xG, signed.
Assists − xA
Assists − xA, signed.
Per 90
Figure × 90 ÷ minutes. A dash below the per-90 floor.
xG/shot
xG ÷ shots. A dash with no shots.
Conversion
Goals × 100 ÷ shots. A dash with no shots.
Shot accuracy
Shots on target × 100 ÷ shots. A dash with no shots.
npxG
The sum of the provider's per-match non-penalty xG. A dash for the season if any match in it lacks the figure.
Non-penalty goals
Goals − penalty goals.
NP goals − npxG
(Goals − penalty goals) − npxG, signed.
Touches
The sum of the provider's per-match touches. A dash for the season if any match in it lacks the figure.
Map xG/shot
The xG of the shots drawn on the map ÷ the number drawn. Shots without coordinates are left out of both.
Ranks
Highest first; tied players share the higher place and the next is skipped — 1, 2, 2, 4. A player with no figure for a metric is left out of its ranking rather than placed last.
