Does anyone know of a scraping friendly website for xG using Excel?

I'd much prefer not to have to go through it manually like last season & this week I plan to start putting this seasons sheets together.


Probably easier to say what sites you've tried, if you can view a page in a browser you can usually view it in excel with VBA

I've attempted Understat & InfoGol but can't scrape them.

No, I can scrape that through soccerstats but xG seems to be a pain in the arse to get hold of.

Are all xG stats equal, never used it myself so no idea how it's calculated. Can you not scrape other site's to simply calculate any values yourself. I see https://footballxg.com/2020/02/28/excel-export/ give xg data as downloadable.
