Per 100 Possessions

“Per 100 Possessions” is a statistical metric used in football to standardize data or performance measures based on a set number of possessions. It calculates the frequency or efficiency of a specific event or action per 100 instances of possession.

For example, “Goals Per 100 Possessions” would represent the number of goals scored for every 100 periods of possession the team or player had. This normalization allows for fair comparisons and eliminates biases due to varying amounts of possession across matches or teams. Per 100 possessions is particularly useful when comparing players or teams with different playing styles or match contexts.

By calculating metrics per 100 possessions, analysts and coaches can gain insights into the consistency and effectiveness of certain actions or events relative to the amount of time a team spends in possession.
