I write football blogs using data and I used the above figure to understand trends in Lamine’s shots and goals. Lamine Yamal’s average xG per shot was 0.08 which is very low compared to Lewandoski’s 0.26 for example. However, taking only into account his goals scored, his xG per shot is also 0.08 which very low compared to top scorers like Mbappe (0.4) and Lewandoski (0.52). Thats why we love Lamine Yamal, he is a risk taker and tends to score goals out of dead positions.
