Expected assists

Just kill me now
----------------------------------------------------------------------



The real question should be who has the highest expected completed passes and expected runs per game.....
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Give it a year and there will absolutely be expected tackles

What about expected expectations?

What about expected expected assists? its not the centre mids fault if the winger they passed to should have delivered a better cross to the striker who would have scored.

Expected assists isn’t the worst stat as it gives you an idea of how many of the chances they create are being taken.

Why are people laughing at expected assists? It's a reasonable stat. Certainly no more ludicrous than xG.

I find people really hate stats when they undermine their beliefs.

It gives you a rough idea of how a game has gone. then when you accumulate the data for all the teams throughout a season you can form valid conclusions about where they can be expected to finish.

Collecting the data for individual players can tell you why the teams might not have finished where they were "expected" to.

Okay, that’s fine.

Who is doing the expecting?

Aren’t all the stats tracked by Opta? The same one who Robbing pulled his ‘Haaland has missed the most big chances’ stat from. Who determines how big these chances are? Oh wait that’s not important because it doesn’t fit the narrative here

People who are pregnant, I suppose.

It could quite possibly be couldn’t it, that’s how arbitrary it is.

It’s like Net spend, absolute bollox in isolation.

Net spend is bollox, yes.

Expected goals is reasonable though.

And that is subjective. The point of stats is to try and take emotion out of it when judging players. Which why the entire footballing world especially management rely on them now. Not only the money ball guys at board level.
