Shot Volume & Conversion
FPL Shot Volume vs Conversion: Midfielders & Forwards
Shots per 90 against conversion rate (goals per shot) for midfielders and forwards — top-right shoots often and finishes clinically; bottom-right shoots often but wastes most of it.
Hover any point for full details. Only midfielders and forwards meeting the minutes filter are shown, ranked into the plotted pool by a mix of shot volume and conversion so both prolific and low-volume clinical shooters appear.
How this helps you
In plain terms: right means more shots per 90 (volume); up means a higher share of those shots end up as goals (conversion, not chance quality). Top-right players shoot often and finish clinically — the most reliable attacking returns. Bottom-right players shoot often but waste most of it, which can mean their goal return is running hotter or colder than their shot volume alone would suggest — worth checking against the xG chart before trusting it to continue.
Target: Volume & Clinical
Avoid: High Volume, Wasteful
Using shot volume and conversion rate in FPL
This chart plots shots per 90 against conversion rate (goals scored per shot taken) for FPL midfielders and forwards. The dashed lines mark the plotted pool's own median shot volume and median conversion, splitting the chart into four zones: Volume & Clinical (shoots often and finishes well), Clinical, Low Volume (efficient but rarely shoots), Low Volume, Wasteful and High Volume, Wasteful (shoots often but converts little of it).
Conversion rate is used here rather than shot accuracy, since on-target placement data is not available in our data pipeline — conversion still separates genuinely clinical finishers from shot-hungry but wasteful ones. Point color reflects closeness to the median crosshair intersection (greener near the center, redder farther away), while a high-volume-but-wasteful profile can be a sign of an inflated or deflated goal tally worth checking against the goals-vs-xG chart.
