I've distilled this a bit further to try to distribute credit for each goal appropriately:

** "xG involvement" is the xG for each shot shared equally between the shooter, the assist and the secondary assist player.
Raw data source from fbref and number crunched by me.
Nice to see the xG involvement shared around nicely between Solanke, Son, Johnson, Maddison and Kulusevski. The midfield / inverted fullbacks chipping in well via Sarr, Bentancur, Porro and Udogie.
Maddison leading the way in overall contribution due in no small part to excellent shooting, out-performing his xG to the tune of +1.73.
Kulusevski has been involved in the most shots (102) but the average xG of those shots has been relatively low (0.10) compared to say Maddison (77 shots involvement at 0.12). I think that's probably because Kulu passes to Porro relatively often, and Porro leads the way at pot-shots (28 shots taken at an average xG of 0.05).
Solanke actually the most involved in xG creation, but hasn't found his shooting boots yet (-2.5 on goals vs xG). I'm not too worried because last season for Bournemouth he scored 19 from an xG of 19.6, hopefully comes back to the mean soon.
