What Is Assists Per Game?
Assists per game is the average number of assists a player or team makes in each match. An assist is usually the final pass or cross that leads directly to a goal. Assists per game is the easiest way to compare creative players who have played a different number of matches.
The GlobeHour Assists Per Game Calculator gives you that number and more. Add minutes to get assists per 90, add key passes to see how often chances become assists, add expected assists (xA) to separate chance quality from teammates’ finishing, and add goals to see goal involvements per game. In team mode, you can see what share of a team’s goals came from an assist.
Assists Per Game Formulas
Example player: 12 assists in 30 games, 2,400 minutes, 60 key passes, 9.0 xA, 8 goals, 8 games left and a target of 0.5 per game.
| Measure | Formula | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Assists Per Game | Assists ÷ games | 12 ÷ 30 = 0.40 |
| Games Per Assist | Games ÷ assists | 30 ÷ 12 = 2.50 |
| Assists Per 90 | Assists × 90 ÷ minutes | 12 × 90 ÷ 2,400 = 0.45 |
| Minutes Per Assist | Minutes ÷ assists | 2,400 ÷ 12 = 200 |
| Key Pass Conversion | Assists ÷ key passes × 100 | 12 ÷ 60 = 20.0% |
| Assists Vs xA | Assists − expected assists | 12 − 9.0 = +3.00 |
| Goals + Assists Per Game | (Goals + assists) ÷ games | 20 ÷ 30 = 0.67 |
| Projected Total | Assists + assists per game × games left | 12 + 0.40 × 8 = 15.2 ≈ 15 |
| Assists Needed For Target | Target × total games − assists | 0.5 × 38 − 12 = 7 |
What Is A Good Assists Per Game Ratio?
The very best creative seasons in Premier League history sit at around 0.55 assists per game. Kevin De Bruyne made 20 assists in 35 games in 2019/20 (0.57 per game), and Thierry Henry made 20 in 37 games in 2002/03 (0.54). The calculator uses this simple guide for players:
| Label | Assists Per Game | Over 38 Games |
|---|---|---|
| Elite Creator | 0.50 or more | 19+ assists |
| Top Creator | 0.30 to 0.49 | 11 to 18 assists |
| Regular Creator | 0.15 to 0.29 | 6 to 11 assists |
| Occasional Creator | 0.05 to 0.14 | 2 to 5 assists |
| Rare Creator | Under 0.05 | Under 2 assists |
Assists Vs Expected Assists (xA)
An assist depends on two people: the player who makes the pass and the teammate who has to score. A brilliant pass can go unrewarded if the striker misses. Expected assists (xA) measures how likely each pass is to become an assist, based on the quality of the chance it creates.
Comparing assists with xA shows whether a player’s total is helped or held back by their teammates’ finishing. In the example, 12 assists from 9.0 xA is +3.00, so teammates finished the chances better than expected. Over time, assists usually move back towards xA.
What Is Key Pass Conversion?
A key pass is a pass that leads to a shot. Every assist is a key pass that ended in a goal. Key pass conversion shows what share of a player’s chances turned into assists.
A player with many key passes but few assists is often creating plenty of chances that teammates aren’t finishing. In the example, 12 assists from 60 key passes is a 20.0% conversion, and 2.00 key passes per game shows how often the player creates a shot for someone else.
Tips To Make More Assists
- Look up early so you can see runs before you receive the ball.
- Play cut-backs from the byline, which often create easy chances.
- Practise crossing with both feet to the near and far post.
- Learn your strikers’ favourite runs and finishing areas.
- Take set pieces if you can deliver a good ball.
- Play the simple pass when a teammate is in a better position.
- Track key passes as well as assists to judge your creativity.
- Teams: build attacks that end with a final pass, not a hopeful shot.
