Swiss Super League finishing: goals vs xG 2026/2027
The Swiss Super League players whose non-penalty goals have run furthest from the chances behind them, either way. Penalties come out of both halves: a penalty is awarded rather than created, and it is a separate skill.
Samuel Essende is furthest above his chances, 2.59 ahead of them: 8 non-penalty goals from 5.41 npxG. Samuel Krasniqi is furthest below, 2.26 short: 1 non-penalty goal from 3.26 npxG.

A player is listed once the median Swiss Super League 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.
