Premier League Games 24/25 August 2024

A stat that is never, ever spoken about. When you think that they have stats for every other thing, it must be known.

What is the %accuracy of free kick shots at goal.

1. How many are on target.
2. How many end up with a goal.
3. How many miss the target - that includes hitting the bar.

Sick to death of seeing free kicks where they take 5 minutes to line it up, the free kick taker stands like he's posing for a statue.....then balloons it.

About one-in-five direct free kicks in the final third are taken as shots. About 5% of them are scored - generally between 15-30 per season or one every one to two weeks - though last season was an all-time low of about 3.88%.

The low success rate has led to a trend of fewer shots being taken by teams unless the positioning is more optimal:
