About these figures What each column measures, and the thresholds this ranking is under. Show

P: — Matches played
GF: — Goals scored
xG: — Expected goals: the summed chance quality of the shots a team took
xG/match: — Expected goals per match with xG data
G − xG: — Goals scored minus xG, over the matches with xG. Always all xG, because goals include penalties.
Shots: — Shots taken in the matches with shot data
npxG/shot: — Average non-penalty expected goals per shot taken

A club is ranked once it has 3 matches with xG and at least 75% of what the median club has played. Below that its row stays in the table, its rates are dashed and it sorts last.
