Top 8 Best and Worst Finishers in the Premier League – 2025/26
This ranking is based on xGOT – xG.
xG (Expected Goals) measures the quality of chances a player gets.
xGOT (Expected Goals on Target) measures the quality of the shots once they are on target.
xGOT – xG therefore estimates how much value a player adds (or loses) through shot execution alone.
A positive number suggests a player is consistently improving the quality of their chances with placement and finishing.
A negative number suggests underperformance relative to the chances received.
This metric focuses strictly on finishing ability — it does not account for movement, chance generation, or overall attacking contribution. As always, context and sample size are important when interpreting the results.
