Can someone explain “xG” per player to me for soccer in a way that is digestible and easily understandably?

Question

Is it better to have a really low xG or higher?

In: Other

Answer 1

A shot from position x on the pitch (taking into account certain other factors like the position of other players, whether it’s a header or a kick etc) has xG% of resulting in a goal.

A high xG is therefore good – as it means you’ve created a good number of good chances.
