And that's why kids, xG is the shittest, most useless metric ever created.
So you believe every organisation that has actual skin in the game (clubs, bookmakers, football consultants like StatsBomb) uses models based on the shittiest, most useless metric ever created?
No, I don't believe any of these stakeholders are using xG to determine their next course of action. Absolutely naive to think that.
It is the best predictor how a team will perform over the whole season. Better than actual goals scored. You can bet every single one of those stakeholders uses it.
