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

#3 Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint Germain)

Kylian Mbappe has continued impressing the footballing fraternity post the World Cup

Kylian Mbappe has magnificently continued his adventures with Paris Saint Germain post the World Cup. The Frenchman has matured impressively as days have passed by and looks ready to play the role of the club's talisman in Neymar's absence.

Functioning on the right flank, the 20-year-old has plundered 18 goals in 15 Ligue 1 games. However, in spite of notching numbers that belie his age, he is far from being the most dangerous attacker in the world right now.

Mbappe has an xG value of 12.55 which he exceeds by 5.45 points. This means he was expected to net 13 goals but has 18 to his credit.

Neymar's absence in PSG's UCL clash against Manchester United might be worrying, but in Kylian Mbappe, they already have a worthy saviour in place.
