The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: This calculation gives you the average points per match, which is a key metric for comparing player performance.
Details: A high strike rate indicates consistent high performance, while a low strike rate may suggest inconsistency or poor form. It's particularly useful for comparing players who have played different numbers of matches.
Tips: Enter the total fantasy points and number of matches played. Both values must be positive numbers (matches must be at least 1).
Q1: What's considered a good strike rate?
A: This depends on your fantasy platform's scoring system, but generally 5+ points/match is good, 7+ is excellent, and 10+ is outstanding.
Q2: How does strike rate differ from total points?
A: Total points show cumulative performance, while strike rate shows average performance per match, allowing fair comparison between players who have played different numbers of matches.
Q3: Should I always pick players with highest strike rate?
A: While strike rate is important, also consider factors like recent form, upcoming fixtures, and role in the team.
Q4: How many matches should be considered for reliable strike rate?
A: Generally, at least 5 matches are needed for a reliable strike rate, though more matches provide better accuracy.
Q5: Does strike rate account for opponent difficulty?
A: No, the basic strike rate doesn't account for opponent strength. You may want to calculate separate strike rates against strong/weak opponents for more detailed analysis.
