1. What is Percent Over Goal?

The Percent Over Goal calculation measures how much a fantasy football team's score exceeds their target goal. It helps evaluate performance relative to expectations or projections.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( points \) — Actual points scored by the team
• \( goal \) — Target points goal or projection

Explanation: The formula calculates what percentage the actual score is above (positive) or below (negative) the target goal.

3. Importance in Fantasy Football

Details: This metric helps fantasy managers assess whether their team is meeting, exceeding, or falling short of expectations. It's particularly useful for evaluating weekly performance against projections.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your team's actual points scored and your target goal points. Both values must be valid (points ≥ 0, goal > 0).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's considered a good percent over goal?
A: Generally, anything positive is good. +10% is solid, +20% is excellent, and +30% is exceptional performance.

Q2: Can this be negative?
A: Yes, a negative value means you scored below your goal (e.g., -15% means you scored 15% below your target).

Q3: How should I set my goal points?
A: Use your projection, league average, opponent's projection, or a personal target based on historical data.

Q4: Is this better than just looking at point difference?
A: Percentage gives better context - a 10-point overage means more when the goal is 100 than when it's 150.

Q5: Can I use this for season totals?
A: Absolutely! It works for single games, weekly totals, or full season cumulative performance.
