📊xG-Statistics in Handball
📌 While I started preparing for the upcoming season, I realized that all my (and thus my team's efforts) would be directed at getting the best shots, while forcing the opponents to take the worst/none at all - which is pretty obvious, I admit. I then had the idea to translate all/most shots into a tier system, categorizing them, which eventually led to me creating an excel sheet that would give out expected-goal values for every shot, giving me the opportunity to analyze a game statistically and free from biases.
The results provided me with insights I hadn't realized in-game. For example, I thought we played great defense throughout the first half, but the xG didn't show the same - the reason being: we defended well for most parts, but managed to concede great shots late in our opponent's attack - something I worked on during training afterwards.
I would love to exchange about the topic:
- Have you experimented with xG before?
- How would you categorize shots?
- What do you think it could be used for? etc.
