What # of goals per game makes a prolific scorer?
What # of chances/assists created makes a prolific playmaker? By prolific I mean one that stands out consistently. Break down reply by age group as scoring can change over age groups. |

There’s no baseline.
Wonder kids at 9-10-11 year old scoring 8 goals per game on average end up becoming Freddy Adu’s washed up in Cyprus’ third division. GTFOH with that stupid question. Your ignorance is showing. |
| The opponent matters. |
|
OP
Mot entirely ignorant. Not asking about strike rate and expected goals per chances in Premier League. Just asking (not for development) a purely curious question: what makes you notice a player as a standout scorer or playmaker from a quantitative point. Leave the qualitative out for this. |
| Agree. The opponent matters... a lot. |
It isn’t necessarily the goal scorer. It could be the kid that dominates the game. |
|
Fair question. I would say
U10 - 6 goals consistently, 5-10 assists U12 - 7 goals, 6-10 assissts U14 - 4 goals, 12 assists U16 - 5 goals, 5 assists |
| a kid that plays at a level above everyone else on the field... has better game IQ and technique, and does it faster and thinks 2 steps ahead of everyone else |
This sounds like a pretty average player to me. A truly dominant player would contribute more than this. |
The question was: "What # of goals per game makes a prolific scorer?" If those are "average" for you, you are playing in the wrong league and need to step up to big boy soccer. |

OP, did you also start other thread about most marketable position? Go ask Lavar Ball or Mr. Marinovich. |
per game?

| How about Goalkeepers and at the youth level its not as much as goals allowed but more about saved shots because we know how bad the defender an be. A good GK may allow 4 goals but make 25-30 saves in the same game. |
| It all depends on the league and team. If the average goals per game for a team is 3.0 then a player on that team scoring 1.5 goals a game (50% of the team's total goals) would stand out. But if the same team averages 5.0 goals per game, that same player would just be a typical forward. |
