In a new article out on @AnalyticsFC I explore the classic question: How can we tell if a forward will consistently score goals? Is it players who get good opportunities (expected goals) or players who finish well? A 🧵

[Eduin Latimer @evidentlyblog]

For a sense of scale if a forward's xg per 90 was 10% above average for a season, we would expect it to be about 6% above average the next season. If their goals/xg ratio was 10% above average for a season we would expect it to be about 1% above average the next season..

New analysis: are some player consistently good finishers? ⚽ 📊

@evidentlyblog analyses how finishers fare season-on-season and how much moving teams can affect the ability to out-perform xG

@Jon_Mackenzie Nothing lines up with perception of you more than you liking cryptic crosswords. It's a perfect fit.

[Adam - Above Average FPL @aboveaveragefpl]

It’ll be fine. We’ve probably got a Pedro Porro-Peters somewhere in the youth setup
