Shots on target from outside the box is a niche, high-value player market for long-range shooters. This guide explains how it works and the live Statz data that finds the right players.
The 18-yard penalty area is the dividing line. Any shot struck from a position beyond the penalty area counts as outside the box. The player's position at the moment of striking the ball is what matters.
Yes. Direct free kicks from outside the penalty area absolutely count. If a player takes a free kick from 22 yards and forces a save, that registers as a shot on target from outside the box.

Shots on target from outside the box is available as a bet builder leg at most major bookmakers for Premier League and Champions League fixtures. Availability varies for lower-profile leagues.

Yes. You can combine shots on target outside the box with total shots, shots on target overall, and other player props in a single bet builder. Be mindful of correlation.
