What is a good shot conversion rate in Pro Clubs?
Shot conversion separates a finisher from somebody who simply shoots a lot. Here is what the archive says a good one looks like.
Measured hereUpdated 4 August 2026 · from 415 archived players
Roughly one shot in three. Conversion is what separates a finisher from somebody who simply shoots a lot, and shot volume on its own cannot tell you which you are.
The whole distribution
| You are better than | Shots scored |
|---|---|

| 60% of players | 29.4 |

Goals divided by shots, across every stored match. Players with at least three full matches of history.
Forwards finish higher, and it is not close
The median archived forward converts 40.0% and the top tenth 64.7%. That is expected rather than impressive: forwards take their shots from closer in, so the same finishing produces a better rate.
| Better than | Build defender | Build midfielder | Build forward |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50% of them | 0.0% | 25.0% | 40.0% |
| 90% of them | 61.5% | 71.4% | 64.7% |
| 99% of them | 100.0% | 100.0% | 75.0% |
Defenders sit at the bottom of this table and most of them never score at all, which is why a conversion figure on a centre-back says almost nothing.
Conversion is not accuracy
These get mixed up constantly. Accuracy is the share of shots on target. Conversion is the share that end up as goals. Somebody can hit the target every time and convert almost nothing, and EA reports both, which is how the confusion survives.
A high rate is also not automatically good. One shot a game from six yards converts better than four from range and scores fewer goals. Read it next to how often somebody shoots.
