Understanding Players Stats Categories

Updated over 6 months ago

These are the definitions of Stats categories you may find on Squads

  • Shots: Any shot attempt, whether blocked, off-target, or on-target.

  • Shots On Target: Any shot that is saved by the goalie, cleared off the line, or results in a goal. Shots that hit the post are considered off target, and will not be counted as a shot on target.

  • Clearances: A defensive action where a player clears the ball away from their own goal without a specific recipient.

  • Shots on Goal: Shots that hit the post are considered off-target and will not be counted as shots on target.

  • Fouls: Defined as incidents, where a player is penalized, and the opponent wins a free kick or penalty after being fouled.

  • Interceptions: Occurs when a player anticipates and intercepts an opponent's pass.

  • Passes Attempts: Any intentional ball played from one player to another, including from open play, goal kicks, corners, and free kicks played as passes but excluding crosses, keeper throws, and throw-ins.

  • Shots Assisted: The final pass leading to a shot attempt. This is also the same thing as Key Passes.

  • Tackles: Defined as a player making contact with the ball in a ground challenge, successfully taking the ball away. This accounts for all tackles, regardless of the outcome.

  • Attempted Dribbles: Any attempt by a player to bypass an opponent while in possession of the ball.

  • Crosses: A ball intentionally played from a wide position aimed at reaching a teammate in front of the goal. The stat for crosses includes all crosses, both accurate and inaccurate.

  • Touches: a total sum of a player's on-the-ball events (e.g. passes, dribbles, shots, or any other ball-related action).

  • Goals Against: This is the total number of goals a goalie concedes in the match.

These categories provide more flexibility and depth, allowing users to leverage their knowledge of player roles and match dynamics rather than relying only on the final result.
