Leicester’s Worrying Transfer Window Continues as Captain Kasper Schmeichel Heads for Nice
Leicester’s club captain Kasper Schmeichel is set for a medical with French club Nice this week following an agreement between the two clubs. The 35-year-old has spent the majority of his playing career in the East Midlands after making the switch from Leeds United in 2011.

Trends in football come and go, and they often divide opinion amongst fans. One new trend that seems to have most fans in agreement is signs asking for players shirts after the game. It’s agreed by most fans that this new trend, adopted mainly by younger children, is a big no no.

During the recent Super Cup match between Ajax and PSV, several signs were taken off fans in an attempt to show their desire to clamp down on the signs. A constant site in the stadium The trend appeared to begin after the COVID-19 lockdown, as ...
What Is xG In Football? Everything You Need To Know About Expected Goals
Every season there is a new data metric or analytical tool being used by the best clubs to optimize performance. Over the past few seasons xG has risen to the top. Here we look at what it is and how it’s calculated. What is xG? xG stands for Expected Goals and it is the likelihood of a player scoring based on the situation they are in. xG can be implemented for a player or a whole team and it allows you to see how effective they are in front of goal. xG values range from 0 to 1 and the higher the value the more likely the shot will be a goal.
