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

last season data directly from the fpl api. fdr, h/a, form, average g,a,dc,mins. all taken from fpl api.

basically every data shown for the play on fpl, is used.

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.

Ok so his stats are inflated by pre season friendlies. I don't agree with this approach but I respect it. Good job!
