Team stats

A couple of days ago I scraped all available stats from the 22583 official matches played in Voller in Season 2.

2.4 goals per match in average. 1.31 YCs per team per match. 0.07 RCs.
330 passes, 17 dribbles, 19 crosses and 41 tackles in average per team per match.
16.9% goals from corners.


Some truly *doh* moments there when I looked into the stats. Like the fact that more tacklings won per match equals less goals conceded.

But I also found some decent findings. Dribbling for instance. The more dribbles a team has per game, the more likely it is to score goals. This does not impact goals conceded however, so I see no reason whatsoever not to let your pawns dribble as much as they can.

An observation I found on passing is that a higher amount of total passes per match does not impact the amount of goals scored, but it is important for conceding less goals.

An increased amount of passes NOT completed is a clear indication of more goals conceded. Maybe not rocket science, but this actually connects the dots quite well for me. I've found that the passing attribute is somewhat important for defensive players to not concede team goals, and this finding supports that theory. So my advice to you, get defensive players that can actually pass the ball!

On the topic of the hot potato of headers, the results are the same. The more headers you win, the more likely you are to score. The more headers you lose, the more likely you are to concede.

Did you expect anything else? :)
