FC Barcelona News: 20 February 2026; Pedri returns to training, Julián Alvarez once again tipped to join Barça this summer
I did some very basic analysis of shot accuracy of Ferran and Haaland.Results are a lot WORSE than I expectedGoal Scoring InconsistencyFerran Torres scores in only 37.8% of his matches — meaning he blanks in nearly 2 out of every 3 games. By comparison, Haaland finds the net in 61.9% of his appearances. Ferran's Coefficient of Variation (CV) for goals is 1.503, which is 41.9% higher than Haaland's 1.059. This means Ferran's goal output swings much more wildly relative to his own average — he's a "feast or famine" scorer, with clusters of goals in some matches (notably his 3-goal haul vs Real Betis) followed by long barren stretches. His median goals per match is 0.0, confirming that his typical game yields no goals at all, even when weighted by minutes played.Shooting DeficienciesFerran's overall shot accuracy is 45.9% (40 shots on target from 87 total), lagging 10.7 percentage points behind Haaland's 56.6%. The gap widens when looking at the median: Ferran's median per-match shot accuracy is just 35.4%, meaning in a typical game over half his shots miss the target entirely. Haaland's median sits at 60.0%.Ferran is also 42.2% more inconsistent in his shot accuracy (CV 0.839 vs 0.590). His shot accuracy Interquartile Range is 0.867 — an enormous spread meaning his accuracy wildly fluctuates between matches, from barely hitting the target to being clinical. Haaland's IQR is a tighter 0.633, showing more reliable targeting.The Bottom LineFerran's per-90-minute goal rate of 0.747 is respectable, but it masks significant match-to-match unreliability. When he plays full 90-minute matches, his shooting can be erratic — he takes shots but doesn't consistently test the goalkeeper. Haaland, by contrast, is both more prolific (1.141 goals per 90) and more consistent, making him a far more dependable offensive threat on any given matchday.
