Exp. = the goals his shots should have produced, from our expected goals model and his own finishing record in earlier seasons (pulled toward average, so proven snipers are expected to score more). Players far below it tend to score more going forward; players far above it tend to cool off. Last season counts until the team has played 10 games.
