Goals and Expected Goals (xG) numbers can often be skewed by the number of chances that are created. The more chance that are created, the more likely it is a player will accumulate higher number of goals and xG.
To assess a player’s shooting efficiency, let’s look at xG over-performance which tells us how many goals a player scored compared to how many they were expected to score.
The calculation for this is Non-Penalty Goals – Non Penalty xG.
10) Serge Gnabry (Bayern Munich) – +5.7
9) Wissam Ben Yedder (Monaco) – +5.8
8) Dries Mertens (Napoli) – +6.2
7) Frank Honorat (Brest) – +6.2
6) Son Heung-Min (Tottenham Hotspurs) – +6.6
5) Patrik Schick (Bayer Leverkusen) – +6.7
4) Enes Unal (Getafe) – +6.9
3) Martin Terrier (Rennes) – +6.9
2) Giovanni Simeone (Hellas Verona) – +7.1
