To calculate expected points for teams I need expected goals per shot from match statistics and not just aggregated expected goals

I know it doesn't necessarily solve your problem, but, from what I can tell by matching their shot data with FBref, FotMob get their xG data from the same feed (Opta), and you can scrape FBref shot data with xG.

I am not aware of leagues that FotMob covers with xG data that FBref doesn't, so it might not solve your problem at all, but I think that if you were to ever look for an alternative, this should be it.
