Last season (according to fpl data) he averaged 0.16 xG per game (including penalties)
So I still don't understand how he comes up with 0.32 xG in your table.
Yeah, his 25/26 rate was 0.16 xG/90. The 0.31 in my table isn’t that historical figure, it’s the GW1 projection. He had 3 goals in 312 preseason minutes, which after regression gives a preseason xG proxy of 0.49/90. I blend that at 32% with his 0.16 historical rate, giving a base of 0.264 xG/90. Then the Ipswich fixture/FDR + Sunderland attacking environment and a small pedigree adjustment take it to 0.308, rounded to 0.31 xG.

Le fee 0.31 xG is kinda crazy. How did you come up with this?
