08/01/2025Hi everyone! Admittedly, I didn't play much attacking football... But did you know that you could have 4 chances and 0 xg? xD

08/01/2025And I don't know how you managed to have such a low attacking stat xD! You had the strikers out cold on the bench 😁

08/01/2025Yes, it's quite possible when the chances created are considered to be not very dangerous 😁The term xG measures the quality of goal-scoring chances created by a team in a match. So having chances doesn't mean you necessarily have to have an xG that isn't zero if your chances aren't dangerous. .
A player who shoots from midfield and is easily saved by the goalkeeper, this kind of opportunity may not generate any xG pts 🙄

08/01/2025Thank you for your very thorough reply, although I wasn't expecting to score a goal here... I'm mainly laughing at the fact that guys with 0 actions manage to unlock XGs via fouls or whatever... And that even if my actions weren't dangerous, and to be honest I don't even know how I got them... Bah I got 0 XG ^^

08/01/2025unlocking xG via faults is a bug I think and this has already been pointed out to Aymeric many times during his Discord lives. But I have the impression that even he doesn't know the origin of this bug 😀

08/01/2025In reality, getting 4 chances that don't generate even 0.1 xg must be extremely rare.
Especially when you've got a cross with a straightforward header and a shot from 20 metres out... it's hard to imagine that this wouldn't generate any xg, apart from vf.
I think we need to stop trying to make VF look like the real thing. The game action on VF is dressing up. We used to have a coach who was passionate about "action" and who didn't think it was right to lose by playing more than the opposition. When you get to that point... you've got quite a way to go 😁

08/01/2025Lol I'll say it again, just because you have chances doesn't mean you have to have good xG...
If you look closely at his game, you'll see that he had low attacking stats, and his shots went through the middle like balloons without really frightening the opposing defence, hence those xGs 😃 Sometimes even a shot from 20 yards can do more harm to a pigeon than to the goal
As for modelling VF on the real thing, that's a bit like trying to compare apples and oranges, isn't it? Each system has its own rules and quirks, but the concept of xG is the same everywhere: it measures the probability of an action being turned into a goal
Otherwise, your coach is a laugh
It happened to me the other day against a manager. I was outplaying the guy throughout the match, except in the final moments when I was playing double or nothing, but he was the one who had all the chances.
At the end of the game I had more xG than him and he had the nerve to mp me to ask me where my xG came from, when he shouldn't even have had any chances 😂

08/01/2025Ah, our coach was a genius :D
After that, on the whole, I don't expect a lot of logic from VF, so it's fine ^^

08/01/2025Given your attacking statistics, that explains everything.

08/01/2025I was curious to look at my 'chances' during a match, and one of them was a pass to an offside player, so technically you can have hundreds of chances like that and still have 0 in XG ^^"

08/01/2025To pick up on the thread, a 40m shot, even a weak one, earns xg, almost none because it's not often that you see 40m shots go in, but it does earn xg.
What I've noticed on the game that is VF, however, is that XGs are more a ratio of strength between your attack and your opponent's defence

08/01/2025And here I thought that 0.04 XG from 5 opportunities a bit earlier in the season had to be some kind of a (negative) record

17/03/2025I've just experienced an opposite, 1 opportunity = 0.57 expected goals (of course I didn't score).
Maybe, like in real life, expected goals isn't only increased by chances and shots, but also by having the ball in dangerous areas, touches in the opposition area (I'm sure that's not a part of the game, maybe "possession" here plays a similar role).
