Attacking Leaders for the Cup Final

Approaching the Scottish Cup Final, a refresh of the leaders in the Expected Goals and Assists map.

Whatever you might think of Burke and Weah, there is no denying they provided attacking threat. Weah has the highest Expected Goals (xG) in the squad.

Burke is a good all-rounder with a higher overall threat than Sinclair, for example. Assuming Burke is injured however, Sinclair should play.

It is imperative Edouard is fit as both Griffiths and Christie will be unavailable – Christie leads the squad in Expected Assists (xA).

To maximise the attacking threat, the Cup Final line up should include:

• Forrest

• Sinclair

• Edouard

With Brown and McGregor sure to play, it comes down to Ntcham or Rogic.

Personally, I’d have Rogic and Johnston off the bench as required.
