[Albion] Graph Time! Expected goals: the season so far

[8ace]

Surprise leaders Brighton look to have earned their place at the top of the division with comfortably the best attacking performance and one of the better defensive showings so far. However they need to start converting more of those excellent goalscoring chances as they’ve now drawn five of their last seven matches and have yet to win a game by more than one goal.

Basically measuring what on average "should" have happened based on quality of chances at both ends of pitch...

We're top of the league and deserve to be.

What does it mean by expected?

It's basically a measure of not just how many chances a team creates, but how good those chances are.
So a header inside the six-yard box scores higher than a speculative shot from 35 yards.
