Serie A top scorers
Goal charts are everywhere. Here every name carries its xG — how many a player should have scored from the chances he got. The gap is what his season is really worth.
Gustavo Varela leads with 9 goals, and Donyell Malen is one behind. Gustavo Varela: those chances were worth only 4.99, an overshoot of 4.01. Finishing like that rarely lasts a season, and a dip is likelier than more of the same. Across the league 32 players out of 80 are scoring above their xG.

The gap is goals minus xG: a plus means finishing above expectation, a minus below it.
