xGI share is a player's expected goal involvement against the sum of every involvement the feed measured at this club in this competition — 33 players, including any who have since left. It is a share of measured player involvement, not of the club's own expected goals, and the two do not reconcile: the club's figure counts every shot it took, including those by players the feed missed, and expected assists are a different measurement altogether.

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 11 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. Championship 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.
