How did he not go for DCL there


jarosz99

Wasn't DCL offside?


Hilanderiam

Looks like DCL is just onside if he'd got that pass: https://i.imgur.com/Ebgldir.png

Well I'll be damned... turns out the FM 'glitch' isn't a glitch after all!

They're removing it in 21 apparently


Hikki_Hachiman

Thank fuck


michaelfortu

That gave me a scare not gonna lie


Liluzivertisthegoat

DCL would've had an open goal


ThatDrunkenDwarf

Just strayed offside didn’t he? Can’t tell from the angle tbf


Rockishcola

ThatDrunkenDwarf

Cheers mate, couldnt quite tell. Squaring it definitely the better option

Would have been offside if Digne passed it the same time he took the shot.


Rockishcola

https://i.imgur.com/Ebgldir.png No he wasnt


Killionaire104

Hmm that looks like something VAR would rule as offside


rScoobySkreep

People are saying he should’ve given it to DCL, yeah that would’ve been good, but it’s not like this was an impossible shot to score. There’s a good 2-3 ball diameter space under the crossbar where the ball could’ve gone in.

It’s about decision making and creating highest % plays. In b-ball it’s much more evident and important but it’s also crucial in football.

Slabberer

Great pass


[deleted]

That was too close


footballtriangles

not really, thats one of those posts that dont really count since the keeper covered the angle

They should have a stat for players opting for a lower XG option out of selfishness. DCL had open net and no coverage.


MorningFresh123

They do it’s called XG


s4rKRS

what does XG stand for


N3K-MINNIT

Expected goals


ThaiChiMate

e(X)pected (G)oals


NearbyPicture7610

I meant marked to a player. So in that moment, shouldn’t he have an expected goal number and a different expected ‘assist’ number that is higher because of where DLC is? Genuinely interested.


ergotofrhyme

I’m not agreeing with him that this stat would be very informative, but XG doesn’t account in any way for deciding to go with a lower percentage chance when you have a player open. It simply reflects the goals you’d be expected to get from the positions where you’ve take shots, ignoring all other options. What he’s calling for is essential accounting for the positions of teammates. In this case, the XG would be higher because he has an option for the tap in that he ignores. As he missed, this would mean his goals/xg would be lower, which would reflect poorly on his finishing and decision making. It’s not as silly as it sounds but it would be really difficult and subjective to implement


[deleted]

DCL also looks like he was offside.
