6 month agoHello.
I've just played a match and I don't understand how the MDM works.
I lost 1-0. No worries, I accept the defeat and congratulations to my opponent, who must know more about MDM than I do.
Overall, in terms of possession, it was balanced. Here are a few screenshots taken during the match which give a general idea of how it went.
What I don't understand is my XG, which is 0.13
I had 0 chances!
Could someone explain to me exactly how that works? Because at this rate I'm never going to score and I might as well sell all my players.
Thank you in advance for your help.

As unrepresentative in this game as in real life
Yesterday
PSG 5 (for 0,87 XG) - Chelsea 2 (for 1,53 XG)
and I don't feel that the score was stolen and that Chelsea deserved to score twice as many goals as PSG

6 month agoYes, but this is a game. Beyond the xg I want to understand why I had 0 opportunities. 🤣

6 month agoyou must have made some mistakes, which are included in the xg calculation

6 month agoErrors. Errors are not included in the calculation.
There's an opportunity at the end of the match, that's where the 0.13 xG comes from.
And to analyse PSG's goals yesterday, the victory was far from stolen but...
Barcola will make the same catch on the 1-0 100 times, 75 times it will be deflected by a defender, 15 times it will go over and maybe, at most 10 times inside so 0.10 xG.
Dembéle on the counter-attack, in my opinion, a shot like that must be close to 0.25 xG.
Vitinha's goal, the position of the goalkeeper, is not normally taken into account in the calculation, so we end up with a maximum of 0.05, although in reality, a lob without a goalkeeper has a better chance of succeeding than 5 times out of 100.
Kvara's 1st, a perfect curling shot, will go in at least 5 times out of 100 and the last goal, in my opinion, one time out of 4. So we're at 0.70 xG for 5 goals, an evening of success or immeasurable talent.
Take the "SECOND POTEAAAAAAAAAAU PAVARD" goal again, he can try it 99 times, it's not certain that he'll succeed once. So, 0.01 xG :)

6 month agoMy bad 🙏
I thought I read that on the forum...
So a foul committed doesn't get the opponent any xG?

6 month agoYou read a lot of rubbish on the forum. The xg on VF is not calculated like a "real" xg, it increases steadily, minute by minute, and is displayed all at once. You could see this when it was displayed during matches.

6 month agoIn addition, you can see how the xGs changed over the course of the match (at least with each opportunity/goal (and foul, I think)) here:

6 month agoBecause not all xGs result in an opportunity appearing on screen; Aymeric explained this when the case was mentioned previously.
