Give 1 Sec To Rate This Article post

Lto season of Juanmi Jimenez at Real Betis is already the best of his sports career. And not only that. His numbers endorse him as the best finisher in Europe up to now. This taking into account only the domestic competitions of Spain, France, Italy, Germany, England and Portugal and players with more than 800 played.

At Olocip, we have used our assessment model developed through artificial intelligence to rate the actions that take place on the field of play. Thus the real impact that a player has had with his actions is evaluated and not only the traditional quantitative analysis is taken into account (frequency of actions: number of goals, shots, passes…) where all actions have the same value regardless of their impact and the context in which they occur.

Goal by Juanmi (4-2) at Betis 4-3 Celtic

It is essential to understand that the important thing is not the number of actions a player makes, but the value generated by those actions.

The Completion is the difference between the probability of the shot ending in a goal and the result of the shot. Thus, its accumulated value determines the number of goals that have been achieved or missed with respect to the number of goals that would be expected to have been scored. If it is positive, it means that he has generated more goals than would be expected due to his good definition. If they are negative, it indicates that more goals have been missed than should have been missed.

If we look at the top-10 of the most effective players in Europe’s major leagues, we find Juanmi as the best finisher. The Betis winger has a scoring average of 1 goal every less than two games. Total He has 7 goals more than expected in the league, which places him as the player who has best taken advantage of his chances.

Haland, target of Real Madrid, ranks 5th as the best finisher. The Norwegian has improved compared to last season. While last year he obtained an average of 0.23; this year so far it is at 0.37. More than one goal every 3 games. Up to now He has scored almost 5 goals more than expected. Quite the opposite happens to Mbappé. The Frenchman also had a shooting average of 0.23; however this campaign is at 0.03.

Haaland’s thing when he steps on the area has no explanation: left-handed ‘killer’ claw double

From LaLiga we can find Benzema at 17th place with an average of 0.27, 18th is Correa (0.26) and 19th, Vinícius Jr (0.25), the big change of the season. ANDhe Real Madrid winger last year penalized his team with his shots with a value of -2.48. This year he has almost 5 more goals than expected and is the 4th player, under 21 years old, with the best finishing average of the selected leagues. Ahead are Haaland, Ekitike (Stade de Reims) and Smith-Rowe (Arsenal).

Will they manage to maintain their big numbers all season in their leagues? We will find out in May.
