For this week's visual, I took inspiration from Shreyas' probability distribution plots and added a funky Halloween theme to meet the occasion.
Look closely at Haaland's, Trossard's, and Almiron's numbers, they're just insane.
According to Opta's model, the three of them had a 90% chance of scoring fewer goals than what they actually did – in Haaland's case that figure is a staggering 99%.
