The minutes per shot stat provides some context to a team’s shooting statistics. We can clearly see which teams are shooting more often than others and which ones are hitting the target more often too.

Chelsea are the team that are shooting most frequently at goal, followed by Manchester City and Liverpool whilst Stoke City, as shown in the graph below, are shooting with the least frequency at goal.

When it comes to shots on target the league leaders, Manchester City, are hitting the ball between the goal frame the most frequently with the average shot on target every 13.94 minutes. Remarkably Stoke City are almost trebling that figure and averaging a shot on target every 36.45 minutes. Stoke are currently sitting in 8th place in the league so they’re obviously converting a high percentage of their shots on target.

In fact Stoke City are converting 40% of their shots on target into goals. This statistic is 2nd only to Manchester City who are converting 40.14% of their shots on target. Wigan and Liverpool prop up the table for converting shots on target. Liverpool convert on 20.87% and Wigan closely behind on 20.69%.

Blackburn are third in converting their shots on target achieving 38.55%, another surprising stat really. The full list is here:

Manchester City – 40.14%
Stoke City – 40.00%
Blackburn Rovers – 38.55%
Manchester United – 38.24%
Newcastle United – 36.14%
Norwich City – 35.16%
Aston Villa – 33.33%
Swansea City – 32.39%
Chelsea – 30.08%
Sunderland – 29.35%
Tottenham – 28.06%
Arsenal – 27.74%
Bolton Wanderers – 25.77%
West Brom – 25.32%
Wolverhampton Wanderers – 25.00%
Everton – 25.00%
QPR – 24.68%
Fulham – 21.30%
Liverpool – 20.87%
Wigan Athletic – 20.69%

 

Statistics, statistics and damned lies!

 

I dont know where those figures come from? We often struggle to get more than 2 shots on target in a game, regardless of the conversion rate!
