@Rufus59087204 @xGPhilosophy You don't get 3 xP for an xG win and 0 xP for an xG loss. Instead, you get a number in between 0 and 3 corresponding to (I think) the weighted average points you would expect to get based on the probabilies of a win, draw and loss given the xG balance in the game

@jamesallcott If it doesn't matter whether you end up 4th or 7th, you're taking a lot of jeopardy out of a lot of normal league games

@clivepafc Their stuff is here: https://t.co/wXw6tZ4VDE

They use a combination (in equal parts) of goals, xG, and 'non-shot xG'

Love the podcast btw

@chris01102247 @clivepafc Yep, although I think it's quite good at capturing form in performance, rather than results, so we have to actually start playing better (despite still having the injuries)

@joseph_gellman As I read this, I thought she was going to go somewhere plausible about skin colour being a more constant impactor on life, but instead she boldly went with 'Jews haven't experienced much discrimination historically'

@KevinDeBeutiful Your graph says that the average is 1xA per 0.8 assists

[C @c456789902]

@BigSighhhhhh @avisualgame @SidharthWarrie4 Yes, on average, a player's *highest* assist tally will be an xA overperformance as generally you do your best when luck is with you. But that doesn't mean that De Bruyne was *unlucky* when his xA equalled his assists. It just shows how impressive that he got 20 with neutral luck

[C @c456789902]

@BigSighhhhhh @SidharthWarrie4 @avisualgame Nearly every player's goals tends towards their xG in the long run, including CR7. It's a popular misconception that you should expect good players to generally outperform it. Only a few freaks do

[C @c456789902]

@Trujista It's actually true: https://t.co/DPMyFA2dTX

@avisualgame Can't help but remember this

[C @c456789902]

@avisualgame This is interesting, although it's not statistically significant (at a 5% level) (p=0.09). Given his xG overperformance in general though, it fits the pattern

@gregorycampion @eightsleep Why cut the weighted blanket?
