Best players in the world by xG: Expected Goals rankings - February 2019

#6 Iago Aspas (Celta de Vigo)

Iago Aspas can always be depended upon to score goals in times of need

Iago Aspas is a forward you can always depend upon to score goals in times of need. The Spaniard has been in fine form as of late, scoring 10 goals in 17 appearances.

The 31-year-old has an xG value of 5.33, a number he comfortably exceeds by 4.67 points. He has scored double than what was expected of him, converting difficult chances into goals.

As good as he has been in the LaLiga, his performance statistics don't exactly reflect how his team has performed as of late.

Celta de Vigo are currently placed 18th in the Spanish top-tier and are on the brink of relegation. Iago Aspas' firepower probably remains the only source of hope they can look up to so as to avoid being demoted in the next season.
