How to Use
Input 10 goals, 50 total shots, 20 shots on target, and 20 games played into the calculator.
Outcome
The calculator reveals a 40% shot-on-target accuracy and a 0.5 goals-per-game average, helping the coach identify a need for better finishing training.

2. Midfielder Impact Analysis

Problem

Outcome
The tool provides a clear statistical comparison, allowing the analyst to quantify which player provides more value in the final third.
