Frequently asked questions
What's a good pass completion percentage?
It varies heavily by position and role — center-backs and goalkeepers often complete 85–95%+ of mostly short, low-risk passes, while forwards and wide players who attempt riskier progressive passes often sit in the 65–75% range even when they're playing well.
Does pass completion % measure passing quality?
Not on its own — it doesn't account for pass difficulty, distance, or how progressive (forward-moving) a pass is. A goalkeeper's short backpasses inflate the number, while a player who attempts more incisive, higher-risk passes will show a lower percentage despite creating more danger.
Is this the same stat shown on match broadcasts?
Yes — broadcasters and stats sites like FBref, Opta, and WhoScored all use this same completed-over-attempted definition, so a number you calculate here should match what's published for that match.
Does this distinguish between short, medium, and long passes?
No — this calculator produces one overall rate from whatever totals you enter. Sites like FBref publish separate short, medium, and long pass completion rates for more granular analysis; use this tool with each range's totals if you want that breakdown.
