Hi
Any ideas on how to watch Sheffield W game. I'm on hols from UK and can't go to a sports bar as my daughter isn't over 21.
My UK sky account won't work so wondering if there is a single game pass option for a mobile device.
I'm guessing the saints player in post above won't work as it is being shown on ESPN
Cheers
Not sure if you are joking or not?
But it is a common word and relates to spreading the cost of an intangible asset over its useful life.
Perfectly acceptable and used by every single company in the UK.
All football clubs are required by UK accounting rules to do it.
This tweet shows how the cumulative xg is broken down. Whether it is relevant or right I'll leave for you all to debate!

Certainly is although it is changing - there were players a few years back who identified the data used and manipulated it as you say by playing 5 yard passes or doing random sprints to get their stats up.
Data analytics has improved since then with weighting on effectiveness coming into play. Still all a load of numbers though which are useless without context (the headline xGs for Saints and Newcastle last week being prime example)
