No player matches that

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 5 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. Premier League 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.
