With the international break, the opportunity is ideal to draw a first statistical assessment of the start of the season in Serie A. One of the most telling measures to evaluate offensive efficiency is the difference between the goals scored and the expected goals (xG): it highlights the players who convert more chances than expected.

Here are the Top 5 players who have outperformed the most in front of goal since the opening of the championship.

1. Diego Moreira (+2.13 goals) The young Milan winger was one of the revelations of the start of the season. When he comes into play, he often makes the difference in duels and is physically comfortable. Statistically, Moreira has scored 3 goals in 127 minutes played, for a total of 0.87 xG: a difference of +2.13 which makes him the leader of the ranking.

2. Alphadjo Cissé (+1.52 goals) Another Milan player present in this ranking, Cissé distinguished himself with two memorable achievements: a shot at the far post against Torino and a collective action from nowhere against Juventus. He has 2 goals from 7 strikes and a cumulative xG of 0.48.

1. Edon Zhegrova (+1.47 goals) After a lackluster previous season, Zhegrova is showing signs of returning to form. His two late goals against Sassuolo earned him 3rd place: over all playing time (72 minutes), he only accumulated 0.47 xG from 5 attempts, for 2 goals.

2. Gustavo Varela (+1.38 goals) The surprise comes from Monza: striker Gustavo Varela surprised from his debut, particularly against Inter, and subsequently confirmed. He has 4 goals while his xG is 2.62. Very proactive in the game, he attempted 11 strikes in 4 matches, which explains an exceptional conversion rate.

3. Vasilije Adžić (+1.30 goals) Loaned to Sassuolo by Juventus, the attacking midfielder had already shown last year that he knows how to score (notably a superb goal against Inter). This season, he has 3 goals for 1.70 xG produced. Notable: three consecutive goals against Bologna, Juventus and Monza, after a more timid start to the season where his xG balance was negative (-0.33).

Why is this measure useful? The difference between real goals and xG makes it possible to identify players in weak form (capable of converting difficult situations) or those benefiting from a good finish. Over an entire season, these gaps tend to narrow, but in the opening phase of the championship they already reveal profiles to watch, for coaches, recruiters and fantasy managers.

To be continued: the stabilization of these figures over the days and the confirmation – or not – of these individual trajectories in the coming weeks of Serie A.
