Definition
Total Shots is defined as the sum of all attempts to score, regardless of whether they were successful, off target, or blocked.
Calculation Methods
Primary Calculation
Total Shots is calculated using the following components:
Formula:
Total Shots = Shots on Target+ Shots off Target+ Blocked Shots
Alternative Calculation
In some data feeds, Total Shots may also be represented as:
Formula:
Total Shots = Shots Inside the Box+Shots Outside the Box
Both calculation paths lead to the same Total Shots value when all components are available.
Data Availability
Not all live matches provide a full breakdown of shot types. Availability depends on:
For example, shots outside the box may not always be supplied during live play.
When any sub‑components are missing, Total Shots should always be treated as the authoritative and reliable metric, even if individual breakdowns are incomplete.
