Liverpool-Man City and Karl Toko Ekambi

ESPN’s Kieran Darcy uses TruMedia’s research tool and expected goals model to look at Liverpool’s win over Manchester City and to make Karl Toko Ekambi one of his weekly fantasy picks:

“In fact, Man City only outshot Liverpool 18-12, and topped them in terms of xG (expected goals) according to TruMedia's model by a slim 1.76-1.26. margin. Liverpool simply was the more clinical side in terms of finishing.”

“Ekambi is tied for sixth in the league in shots with 31. And he's second in the league in xG (expected goals), according to TruMedia's model, at 6.71. The only player ahead of him is Benzema at 7.91, and Benzema has played 145 more minutes than Ekambi.”
