Frequently Asked Questions
How many players are in Sporting Kansas City's current squad?
29 players: goalkeepers — 4, defenders — 11, midfielders — 9, attackers — 5.
How often do Sporting Kansas City's match results diverge from the xG-expected outcome?
Bravsen has analyzed 2 matches — average Crime Index 40, with 0 scoring 60+ (the threshold for an anomalous gap between the result and the xG model).
A 0-4 road loss to LAFC carries a Crime Index of 92% — one of the highest figures on the entire site across any team. It's Sporting Kansas City's single most anomalous covered match out of 6 reviewed: by chance quality, the visitors don't appear to have deserved a rout that heavy — the same match also shows up in LAFC's own page as an example of their clinical finishing.
Finishing lines up almost exactly with the model
Across the 6 matches with calculated xG, the club generated 4.96 expected goals and scored 5 — a negligible, statistically insignificant difference. A club without obvious finishing extremes: the LAFC loss is better explained by the opponent's exceptional finishing than by any problem of Sporting's own.
The average sits well below that peak
A 41% average across 6 matches is typical for the site: the LAFC rout is a sharp exception, not a defining trait of the club across most of the season.
