xA (Expected Assists)

Probability that a pass becomes an assist (i.e. the next shot is scored).

Computed by taking the xG of the shot the pass leads to. A pass that creates a 0.6 xG chance counts as 0.6 xA, regardless of whether the shot is actually scored. Captures creator quality independent of finisher quality.
