After a long wait, the next video in the Expected Learning series is now up on our YouTube page. In this episode, I went through the basics behind expected goals.

I touched on:

• What are expected goals?
• Why are they important?
• What goes into generating an expected goal rating?
• High-danger chances vs expected goals.
• Public vs private model variation.
• Expected Goal terms and what they mean.

Hopefully, this video helps some people better understand that stat. It’s a stat that uses data on what happens in a game to give us an idea of shot quality.

The next episode will be about microstats.
