I think shots on target in itself is too broad a field. You'd get the more value for someone blasting one from 30 yards into a defender's legs than for an attacker missing an open goal from 6 yards out.
I'm trying to build up a model where I'm designating fields within the scoring area (eg front of goal, middle of area, edge of box etc) and then looking at whether it's a goal, on target, off target, blocked etc. I think getting attacking and defensive stats on both of these could lead to a half decent measure of a team's strength but as with everything the collation of the data is the back breaker. |
