xG only factors for valid shots.

Without the offside gain we can’t be sure that Richarlison would have had the chance.

It’s a fair comment.

xG models compare historic situations that could legitimately result in a goal.

Richarlsion was marginally off for both, but in both situations he has gained an advantage on the defenders to get the goal. If he’s not offside then does he get in the same scenario to score?
