English Football 2015-16 - Leicester City won the league - Page 236 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

interesting thing for me in the chart frantic posted is that messi wont actually score many more goals than eg podolski given identical shooting circumstances

They are both 6 pointers in our challenge for the title.

You can have Podolski, Vela and Nene. I'll take Suarez, Neymar, and Aguero to bang in the goals for the Eyetest XI. Fat xGFrank can even anchor your midfield. I'll take Hazard

Depends on ones line of work. Saturday's off for me are a complete luxury as that is usually my busiest day. I normally work Thursday and Friday nights too because they are also extremely busy

Are you are a bar owner?

And LFC, take a breather mate, you're very much in the wrong here.

like if an adult was illiterate we would be horrified but innumeracy is just super standard among 96%ish of the population

Yes clearly Levy should have bought Vela and Podolski - lol at any club who let those elite talents go.

How is it that tough to see that we're talking purely finishing. Not creating, not how much you score etc.
At purely finishing, podolski is clearly elite. He just wasn't great at anything else

if a different bloke missed an open goal from 6 yards out he'd be something like 0.99 goals below xG, because stevie wonder could've put it away

the first bloke has missed on 10 shots but is not doing as badly as the second bloke according to xG, despite the fact that the second bloke has only missed one shot.

Bit of a newb about this, but does it disproportionately reward the same guy when he binks a half way line shot?

I doubt it. How often are players shooting from half without the goalie being off? Never. So its not some .01% thing.

That Yeboah goal is one of my all time favs, picture perfect in every way, right down to the opposition

He scored a better goal a few weeks (I think) earlier, was very similar to the above.
