| Total | Rank v other clubs | |
| Goals scored | 55 | 9th |
| Shots | 429 | 12th= |
| Shots in the box | 284 | 12th |
| Shots on target | 145 | 13th |

| Non-penalty expected goals (NPxG) | 39.94 | 15th |
Fulham scored a brilliant 55 goals in 38 Premier League games in 2022/23, but their underlying numbers raise a few red flags.
The Cottagers significantly outperformed their expected goals (xG) in attack, with Opta’s model calculating they should have scored eight fewer goals than their actual total (55), with the chances they created worth just 47.03.
In fact, their overperformance in front of goal was the fourth highest in the top flight, only behind Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
While Aleksandar Mitrovic actually underperformed relative to his 14.93 xG (more on that later), Manor Solomon (+2.77), Carlos Vinicius (+1.69) and Willian (+1.60) were Marco Silva’s side’s biggest overachievers.
At team level, their away numbers unsurprisingly drop off. However, it’s not to the same extent as others, with just 16 fewer shots in the box recorded on the road last term.
