I found the post the other day interesting but...

if there is a historical component, then does it not make precision difficult with a team such as ours with a large turnover of players compared to last season?

  - Thabks. Interesting stuff. I wonder how much data they've used to come up with the xG (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 18, 16:16:26
    - Apparently several thousand phases of play which led to efforts on goal (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 18, 16:22:32

    - The compiled data isn't specific to each team (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 18, 16:12:34
      - Perhaps they will look to continually improve the data capture process to handle more (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 18, 16:19:24
        
        Simply just to show the quality of chances created (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 18, 16:25:01
      - Thanks for that...I was under the impression that each data was team specific (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Mar 18, 16:17:38
