A supercomputer has named the 2022/23 Premier League Team of the Season based on those with the most productive attacking stats, with six Manchester City and two Manchester United players in the XI.
BetVictor used an algorithm based on attacking stats to discover a starting XI that would pose the greatest threat going forward - or the best ‘generative xG’, the number of goals a team is expected to generate.
In order to pick the players, the model took into account non-penalty expected goals, assists and the likelihood that a player’s play would lead to an attacking chance.
