Methods and Caveats for player rankings

Expected goals (xG) and assists (xA) is a stat where the probability is evaluated that any given shot or assist of a shot will end up as a goal.

Here I’ve taken the xG90 and xA90 and turned into project attacking FPL points for the season.  No appearance points or clean sheet points or bonus just the basic goal and assist points. I’ve included the penalty part of xG where the player is the designated penalty taker.

I’ve then adjusted midfielders and forward for the minutes they would be expected to play in each game.  Generally by taking the average of the last 4 matches as a rule of thumb.

There’s also the Shots and key passes per 90 in the schedule too.

This article is very time consuming and laborious and easy to make mistakes so apologies if there is any. Please point out any in the comments section.

What you see below is a graphic.  Here’s the link to the google spreadsheet
