What's the formula for goals per minute?
I'm a math idiot, so bear with me.
X total goals divided by Y total minutes multiplied by 90 would tell you how many goals a player scores (per minute) in an average match. Yes?
But the player may not be on the pitch for 90 minutes (could be less or more - was subbed off, stayed on in knockout matches that went to extra-time, etc.).
So...X total goals divided by Y total minutes multiplied by...what? The average minutes spent on the pitch? Is that it?
Well the data for subs is out there so in theory you just need to know in those games he played in when he was subbed, then its simply No of Goals/ ((number of games not subbed*90) + Totals minutes in games where subbed))
