Understanding Conversion Rates

Goal conversion rate measures shooting efficiency:

25%+: World-class elite striker
20-25%: Top professional level
15-20%: Good professional striker
10-15%: Average (typical for midfielders)
<10%: Needs improvement

Note: Conversion rates vary by position. Strikers typically have higher rates than midfielders who shoot from distance. Context matters — penalty box shots vs. long-range efforts.
