Best players in the Premier League by xG: Expected Goals Ranking - March 2019

#7 Andre Schurrle (Fulham)

Andre Schurrle won the Carling Goal of the Month award for 2019

A majority of the football faithful must have been left dumbfounded when they found out Andre Schurrle had joined Fulham FC. The move appeared to be a backward step for the German World Cup winner, but his numbers clearly show that he still is a world-class attacker.

The 29-year-old has found the net 6 times in 22 games for Fulham this season. He has an xG value of 3.27 and has exceeded it by a margin of 2.73 points. He has scored 3 more goals than his expected tally of goals.

As a fine testament to his attacking abilities, Schurrle also bagged the Carling Goal of the Month in January for his sublime strike against Burnley.

Fulham were promoted to the Premier League after six years away from the top flight this season, however, their hopes for survival look slim. They have a long way to go to get out of the relegation zone and will need the German at his belligerent best to survive in the English top tier for the next campaign.
