Percentage of combined xG and xA involvements for the top player in each Premiership side, relative to the overall xG output.
As you can see, we're last with Alfredo Morelos being directly involved in 21.1% of our xG. Celtic's Odsonne Edouard is third, with 32.46% of Celtic's xG.
What does this mean?
It means that we are spreading out our attacking contributions throughout the team. Celtic's attacks are a lot more focused through one individual.
I would argue that this is a very good indicator for us, as it would indicate our attack is a lot more sustainable than theirs as we are less reliant on an individual player.
The caveat is that Morelos has played less than Edouard this season, which does skew the numbers, though it may further underline that Edouard is more important to Celtic than Morelos is to us.
Would be interested to get the takes of others on this.
