Question 19

Stats Definitions

Question 20

FotMob Rating

Accepted Answer

The FotMob player rating is calculated based on more than 300 individual stats per player per match from Opta. A match in the per match ratings is any match the participant has been involved in even if he came on as substitute in the last few minutes. A player must have played at least 50% of all matches and at least 90 minutes (for the per 90 stats) to be included in the rankings.

Question 21

Expected Goals (xG)

Accepted Answer

Expected goals (or xG for short) is the likelihood that a shot will result in a goal. In other words, a measurement of how good the chance was.

A player or team's total xG in a match can give an indication of how many goals they could have expected to score, given the quality and quantity of the chances they created.

For each shot, an xG value from 0 to 1 is assigned, with a value of 1 representing a guaranteed goal. So, if a shot has an xG value of 0.4, that means you would expect a goal to be scored from that shot 4 out of 10 times. This is based on the shot angle, distance from goal, type of pass, header or shot, among other factors.

So, if a team loses 1-0, but they had an xG of 2.1, you can say they were unlucky to lose, as they could have been expected to score at least 2 goals from the chances they created.

Question 24

Big Chance

Accepted Answer

Opta: A situation where a player should reasonably be expected to score, usually in a one on one scenario or from very close range when the ball has a clear path to goal and there is low to moderate pressure on the shooter. Penalties are always considered big chances.

Question 25

Chance created

Accepted Answer

The final pass leading to the recipient having an attempt at goal.

Question 26

Duel

Accepted Answer

Opta: A duel is an 1v1 contest between two players of opposing sides in the match. For every Duel Won there is a corresponding Duel Lost depending on the outcome of the contest.

Question 27

Dribble

Accepted Answer

Opta: This is an attempt by a player to beat an opponent when they have possession of the ball. A successful dribble means the player beats the defender while retaining possession, unsuccessful ones are where the dribbler is tackled.

Question 28

Goals Prevented

Accepted Answer

Calculated as xGOT conceded from shots on target faced, minus goals conceded. So it’s a number that shows how many goals the keeper would have expected to concede vs how many he actually conceded.

Question 29

Interception

Accepted Answer

Opta: This is where a player reads an opponent’s pass and intercepts the ball by moving into the line of the intended pass.

Question 30

Recovery

Accepted Answer

Opta: This is where a player recovers the ball in a situation where neither team has possession or where the ball has been played directly to him by an opponent, thus securing possession for their team.

Question 31

Shot on target

Accepted Answer

Opta: A deliberate attempt to score that is on target. Includes all Goals being scored and shots on target saved by the Goalkeeper.
It also includes shots on target that are Blocked by a last line defending player, preventing the ball from entering the Goal.
Also See ‘Shot Off Target.’

Question 32

Shot off target

Accepted Answer

Opta: A deliberate attempt to score that misses the target, without contact from a player diverting the ball from on target to off target.
A shot hitting the frame of the Goal is classified as a Shot Off Target unless the ball subsequently enters the net. A Blocked Shot is not classified as a Shot Off Target.
Also see ‘Shot on Target.’

Question 33

Blocked shot

Accepted Answer

Opta: A Blocked Shot is defined as an attempt to score including:
• An attempt on target Blocked by an outfield player, where other defenders or a Goalkeeper are behind the Blocker.
• Incorporates shots Blocked unintentionally by the shooter’s own teammate.
• Clearances off the line by an opposition player (last line Blocks) are classified as Shots on Target and not as a Blocked Shot.

Question 34

Touches

Accepted Answer

Opta defines touches as the “sum of all events where a player touches the ball”. For example, if a player controls the ball, gets it out of his feet, then passes it to a team-mate, that would be one touch.

Question 35

Defensive contributions

Accepted Answer

The total number of tackles, interceptions, clearances, and blocks a player makes. This is the same metric used in Fantasy Premier League for defenders.

Question 36

Player traits

Accepted Answer

The Player Traits chart highlights a player’s statistical strengths and weaknesses, in comparison to similar players.

Each stat is adjusted on a per 90 basis and includes matches from the past 365 days.

Players are then compared to positional peers from similar leagues, and placed into a percentile ranking.

For example, a player with a 90% percentile ranking on Chances Created means that they create more chances than 90% of players in their position in similar leagues.

The positional comparison groups are:
• Forwards
• Wingers and attacking midfielders
• Midfielders
• Fullbacks
• Center-backs
• Goalkeepers

The league comparison groups are:
• English Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga and Ligue 1
• Tier 2 European leagues
• North and South American leagues
• Asian Football Confederation leagues
• Top tier women’s leagues

Question 37

Season performance

Accepted Answer

The bar graph shows how a player compares to other players in their position on each stat. A green bar graph indicates they are among the best in their position at that stat, while a red bar indicates they are among the worst.

The bar graph represents the percentile rank of the player for each stat on a per 90 basis, in the currently selected competition.

Players are compared only against their positional peers from the currently selected competition.

Using percentile ranks allows us to remove the impact of extreme outliers, and express the player’s relative performance in that stat category. A percentile rank of 90% for example, means that the player outperformed 90% of the players in that league, in their position.

Question 38

xG table (Justice Table)

Accepted Answer

Expected Points (xPts) reflect the number of points a team was expected to earn from a match, based on the quality of their chances measured by Expected Goals (xG).

xPts for a match are calculated by simulating possible outcomes using the quality of shots, expressed as xG. The simulation awards points for wins, draws, or losses based on xG.

The xPts are accumulated over the season to form the "xG table", also known as the "Justice table", which provides an alternative view of team performance beyond actual points earned.

Question 39

Squad value (ETV)

Accepted Answer

Squad value is the sum of the estimated transfer values (ETV) of the club's current senior squad. The estimates are updated regularly. Values are shown in your selected currency.
