xA from cutback cross | Measures the quality of a completed pass from a cutback cross, expressed as the probability that the cutback cross will result in an assist. |
xGoals (xG) | Expected Goals (xG) measures the quality of a goal scoring opportunity, expressed as the likelihood that the shot will result in a goal on a scale between 0 and 1. |
xG/G | Ratio between xGoals and goals scored |
Non-Penalty xG | xGoals excluding penalty kicks. |
Non-Penalty G - Non-Penalty xG | Non-penalty expected goals - Non-penalty goals |
Non-Penalty xG / Non-Penalty G | Ratio between Non-Penalty xG and Non-Penalty G |
Goals - xG | Goals - Expected goals |
xG from Headers | Measures the quality of a goal scoring opportunity from headers, expressed as the probability that the header will result in a goal. |
xG from shots (xG shots-xG headers) | Measures the quality of a goal scoring opportunity from shots, expressed as the probability that the shot will result in a goal. |

Open Play xG | Measures the quality of a goal scoring opportunity from non-set piece goal scoring opportunities, expressed as the probability that the open play opportunity will result in a goal. |
xG/shot | Ratio of xG over shots. Indicates attacking performance by not only taking the number of shots into account but also the quality of those goal scoring opportunities. |
Post Shot xG (PSxG) | Post-shot variation of xG that measures the quality of the actual shot by taking the end location of the shot into account. Only for shots on target |
Non-Penalty PSxG | Post Shot expected Goals from all non-penalty shots on target. |
PSxG/xG | Ratio between PSxG and xG |
Shooting goals added | PSxG - xG |
Non-Penalty shooting goals added | Non-penalty PSxG - Non-penalty xG |
Goalkeeper Statistics (with xMetrics)
xSaves | Measures the quality of a goalkeeper's saves. Expressed as 1 - PSxG, so it is the probability that the goalkeeper will save the shot on target taking the quality of the actual shot into account. |
xS/S | Ratio between xSaves and saves |
xS/S from headers | Ratio between xSaves from headers and saves from headers |
xS/S from long-distance shots | Ratio between xSaves from long-distance shots and shots from long-distance shots |
Non-Penalty xS | Measures the quality of a goalkeeper's saves on non-penalties. Expressed as 1 - non-penalty PSxG, so it is the probability that the goalkeeper will save a non-penalty shot taking the quality of the actual shot into account. |
Penalty xS | Measures the quality of a goalkeeper's saves on penalties. Expressed as 1 - penalty PSxG, so it is the probability that the goalkeeper will save a penaty taking the quality of the actual shot into account. |
Post-shot xG conceded | Number of goals expected to concede, taking the quality of the on-target shots faced into account |
