We’ve crunched the numbers and compared each players’ Expected Goals (xG) with the actual number of goals they scored – to see who wasted the most golden chances and identify the surprisingly clinical players who could help fire the Wearsiders to promotion. Scroll down and click through the pages to see who was the Black Cats’ most clinical attacker last term:
21. Lee Cattermole (scored 3.66 more than expected)
Not known for his goal-scoring ability, Cattermole was surprisingly Sunderland's second-most clinical player last season - scoring seven times with an xG of 3.34. Photo: Frank Reid
22. Most clinical: Aiden McGeady (scored 6.19 more than expected)
McGeady's xG stat stood at just 7.81 - but he managed to score 14 times in a stellar season. Photo: Frank Reid
