What each column means
GP · Games played
Matches he has appeared in this season, as a starter or off the bench.
Assists · Assists
Passes that lead directly to a team-mate scoring.
Goals · Goals
Goals scored in the competition shown. Penalties included, as in any official table.
G+A · Goals + assists
Goals and assists added up: direct goal involvement.
G/90 · Goals per 90 minutes
Goals × 90 ÷ minutes played. A substitute who scores in 20 minutes should not show the same average as a starter, which is why we do not use goals per game.
IIG · Goal Impact Index
IIG = (goals + assists) × 90 ÷ minutes × league coefficient. It measures goal involvement per 90 minutes and weights it by how hard the competition is, using the same coefficient as the European Golden Shoe (×2 for UEFA's five best leagues, ×1.5 for those ranked 6th to 21st, ×1 for the rest). Only computed from 450 minutes up: below five full games a per-90 rate means nothing. Above 2.00 is elite.

Data from API-Football, refreshed twice a week. Only players with at least one goal are listed.
