How is the xG calculated for EFL Trophy?
FootyStats uses a unique formula for calculating xG. Traditional xG only takes account of shot positions while FootyStats uses a combination of shot accuracy (on/off target), shot frequency (number of shots), attack dangerousness, overall attack pressure (posession amount and depth of posession) to summarize expected goals for EFL Trophy. The reason for using more data points to calculate xG is because many attacks can be extremely dangerous without a shot attempt, and using other data such as posession and depth of attack can increase the granularity of EFL Trophy's xG data.
