It's measuring shots against, basically. Granted, it's weighting them.
I think if you went and found multiple years of Nurse's xGA data and found there was a significant variance year to year you might have a point, and could reasonably ask "does last year really represent who this player is", the way you can with Tanev... But it doesn't really vary in his case.
