Add 7 yards for the distance between the snapper and the kicker and add 10 yards from the beginning of the endzone to the goal post. For example: a team at the 20 yard line would be kicking a 37 yard field goal.

When do you get 5 points for a field goal?

A field goal (kicking the ball through the uprights at the end of the field) is worth 3 points in American football. There is no "point after" attempt for a field goal. In contrast, a touchdown (carrying the ball past the goal line) is worth 6 points and allows an attempt for an additional point after touchdown, which closely resembles a field goal.


If shot made with foul count as attempt?

If the foul was committed in the act of shooting the basket counts. If the foul occurred before the shot was taken the basket does not count.

Is it true that in the NFL a placekick or dropkick doesn't have to be considered a FG attempt?

By rule, if you kick the ball during a scrimmage down, it's called a "scrimmage kick." If a scrimmage kick off the ground goes through the uprights, it's a field goal. Technically, there is no rule that defines a field goal "attempt." You don't necessarily have to "attempt" a field goal when placekicking on a scrimmage down, but if your kick doesn't go through the uprights, the same rules apply as would for a missed field goal.
