NotThe Top 20
It doesn’t get enough coverage, does it? Well, today we’re rectifying the chronic lack of coverage for the statistically best sides in the EFL with 6 fun tables. The first three rank the top 20 of 72 teams over the season by xG, xGA, and xG share. The second three do exactly the same, but over the last 10 games.
Oh, and there’s a bottom twenty for those of you predisposed to schadenfreude.
