It ascribes a two decimal place figure to the likelihood of goals being scored

Based on subjective data, thereby giving different outlets/calculators wildly different 'scores', while maintaining the illusion of accuracy because of the two decimal place figure.

Accreted across a whole season it can give a sense of whether a team is getting better or worse results than it 'deserves' based on the measured variables.

Not convinced it's better than a finger in the air guesstimate of someone watching.

Some love it.
