1. What is Percentage Over Goal?

The Percentage Over Goal calculation measures how much you exceeded your fantasy football target score. It's a useful metric to evaluate performance against expectations or benchmarks.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the percentage over goal formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Achieved} \) — Points actually scored
• \( \text{Goal} \) — Target points you aimed for

Explanation: The formula calculates what percentage your actual score is above your target score. A positive value means you exceeded your goal, while negative means you fell short.

3. Importance in Fantasy Football

Details: Tracking performance against goals helps fantasy managers evaluate team strength, make roster decisions, and set realistic expectations for future matchups.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your actual points scored and your target points. Both values must be positive numbers, with goal > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a good percentage over goal?
A: In fantasy football, consistently scoring 10-20% over projections is excellent. Matchup variance means single-game percentages may vary widely.

Q2: Should I use season totals or weekly scores?
A: Both are valuable - weekly shows matchup performance, while season totals show overall team strength versus expectations.

Q3: How does this compare to standard deviation?
A: Percentage over goal measures performance against expectation, while standard deviation measures consistency of scoring.

Q4: Can this predict future performance?
A: While past performance informs expectations, fantasy football has enough variability that high percentages don't guarantee future success.

Q5: What about negative percentages?
A: Negative values indicate underperformance. Consistently negative percentages may suggest needed roster changes.
