Possession efficiency is a metric that evaluates how well a team converts their time in possession of the ball into chances or expected goals (xG). It provides insights into a team’s ability to be both efficient and effective in creating scoring opportunities.
The formula for possession efficiency is calculated by dividing the total xG generated by the percentage of possession. This metric helps coaches and analysts understand if their team is making good use of their time on the ball.
