Perhaps they will look to continually improve the data capture process to handle more
Sophisticated scenarios?
Anyone know if they only produce point estimates (for the likely chance of converting) or whether they also simulate tonnes of random scenarios to produce probability distributions too?
What's the actual purpose of the xG stat though? Is it meant to be a predictor or simply an observational measurement by which to compare a team's expected goals scored vs. actual converted???

- Someone mentioned xG metric from opta stats. How's that actually work then? (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 18, 14:04:59

- 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
- agree. Seems to have potential though, especially the more variables inteoduced (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Mar 18, 16:27:26

- Thanks for that...I was under the impression that each data was team specific (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Mar 18, 16:17:38
- Yeah it makes more sense, although there are still cons with that method (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 18, 16:23:12
