When are my goals scored?

I had a quick look for my Golden Retrievers team in Voller.

When do I score goals, and when do I concede. The clips tab in FML where I got the info from only dates back two weeks, but here are the numbers I found:

Scored goals:
1'-15': 14 (16%)
16'-30': 19 (23%)
31'-45': 12 (14%)
46'-60': 15 (18%)
61'-75': 8 (9%)
76'-90': 16 (19%)

Conceded goals:
1'-15': 3 (10%)
16'-30': 6 (21%)
31'-45': 8 (28%)
46'-60': 6 (21%)
61'-75': 3 (10%)
76'-90': 3 (10%)

I'm not sure how much information I can read into this, except that it seems like I play my best in the first 15 and last 15 of each match.

The most interesting information is that 60% of all my goals scored within the last 15 minutes are actually scored from the 88th minute or later. Even though that almost makes sense if each match includes 4 minutes injury time.

No idea why the results are like this, but I'll note that I *never* sub players unless they get injured. And I've played most of my games without using match plans, so I think it could come down to higher stamina for my players when looking at goals scored by the end of my matches.

Or it could just all be totally random! :)

    Great blog which i follow avidly, i wish i had the mathmatical ability to do what you do.
    Id love to know more about your secrets when it comes to important player stats so i could test the theory in my GW Ramos.
    My blog is here in case your interested.http://sambadelichfield.blogspot.com/

    Thanks Joe

    Thanks. I try my best to make posts interesting, even though I sometimes go rambling into my own thoughts! :)

    Hopefully from time to time if you continue to read the blog, I will reveal secrets that actually do make a difference!

    Also just feel free to comment if there is something you would like me to investigate into further.

    I've added your blog to my blog list!

    If I interpreted correctly some of your posts, one of the most important attributes you're looking for in Strikers is Stamina.

    It wouldn't thus be strange that a lot of your goals are coming towards the end of the game, when your striker are taking advantage of their better condition.
    And apparently the stamina in DCs is the most discriminant attribute for the goals conceded, so it may not be that far fetched !

    well im really interested in what attributes are important to the different positions so i can experiment in my GW, if i had the maths ability you had id be doing it already.
    Basiclly i want to test the theory with my youth team which ive already started doing based on your posts.
