1. What is Completion Percentage?

Completion Percentage is a key performance metric in football that measures the accuracy of a player's passing. It represents the percentage of successful passes out of total passes attempted during a match or over a period of time.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the completion percentage formula:

Where:

• Passes Completed — Number of successful passes
• Passes Attempted — Total number of passes attempted

Explanation: The formula calculates the ratio of completed passes to attempted passes, then multiplies by 100 to convert to a percentage.

3. Importance of Completion Percentage

Details: Completion percentage is crucial for evaluating player performance, team strategy effectiveness, and identifying areas for improvement in passing accuracy and decision-making.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of passes completed and passes attempted. Both values must be valid (passes attempted > 0, passes completed between 0 and passes attempted).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is considered a good completion percentage?
A: Generally, completion percentages above 85% are considered excellent, 75-85% good, and below 75% may indicate areas for improvement.

Q2: Does completion percentage vary by position?
A: Yes, midfielders and defenders typically have higher completion percentages than forwards who attempt more risky passes.

Q3: Should all pass types be included?
A: For accurate analysis, it's best to include all types of passes (short, long, through balls) to get a comprehensive view of passing accuracy.

Q4: How does pitch position affect completion percentage?
A: Passes in the defensive third typically have higher completion rates than those in the final third where defensive pressure is greater.

Q5: Is completion percentage the only passing metric that matters?
A: No, while important, it should be considered alongside other metrics like key passes, progressive passes, and pass length to get a complete picture.
