Minors league (1 & 2) attacking statistics GOALS PREDICTED OMG - Jeanious - 2026-09-05 Hello everyone, we are back with statistics. No excuses, all graphs work and even the prediction model and striker impact! Anyway, as you might notice it's a lot shorter, less text. Costs me less time. GL GL Average rating Average rating provides a broad overview of the league's most consistent performers and gives us a good starting point for looking at the attacking (or just anyone in this case) side of the league. With two players reaching a perfect 10.0 the top of the table is impressive while the gap to the rest of the top ten gradually gets bigger the further we get down. Roquefort Cotswold and Zach Mulder share the top spot with a perfect 10.0 average rating. Setting a high benchmark for everyone else. João Mendes follows in third with an impressive 9.3 while Takaharu Suzuki and Arthur Cain complete the top five on 9.0 and 8.9 respectively. The second half of the rankings remains close although the gaps start to become more noticeable. Ignignokt sits sixth on 8.7 followed by Matt Stro and Nick Dusk who share seventh on 8.6. Ryan O'Neill records 8.5 while Benjamin Munro rounds out the top ten on 8.3. With two players already sitting at a perfect rating, the leaderboard has started with a bang. xG Expected goals gives us an indication of the quality of the chances players are getting with higher values meaning the player is finding himself in better goalscoring situations. Dennis van Huntelrooy leads the league with an xG of 1.48, showing that he is not only very handsome but also a real threat in front of goal. Mikko Rashford II follows closely behind on 1.31 while Ben Nelson and João Mendes share third place on 1.21. Arthur Cain rounds out the top five with 1.15 followed by Owen Goal on 1.10. The bottom half of the top ten sees a bigger drop off with Zach Mulder at 0.84 and Nick Dusk at 0.80. Bonnibel Bubblegum and Vincent Haye both finish on 0.79. I believe we never have to look at this statistic again this season, van Huntelrooy will surely stay on top. Shots Shots give us a simple look at which players are most willing to have a go and once again Dennis van Huntelrooy finds himself at the top. The humble and smart striker recorded 9 shots narrowly beating Mikko Rashford II's 8. Arthur Cain and Dimitrios Karras share third place with 7 shots each followed by Benjamin Munro on 6. Takaharu Suzuki, Kairo Vox, Nick Dusk and Roquefort Cotswold all sit together on 5 shots making this section of the top 10 particularly crowded. Greg Evil rounds out the top ten with 4 shots. While the numbers naturally drop off towards the bottom of the table the top contains the same names as we saw in the xG with Huntelrooy once again showing a clear willingness to test the goalkeeper. Shots on target Shots on target is where things get interesting because the entire top ten is separated by absolutely nothing. Every single player on this list recorded exactly 3 shots on target meaning there is quite literally no way to rank them in this statistic. Nick Dusk technically takes first place followed by Takaharu Suzuki, Matt Stro, Mikko Rashford II, João Mendes, Dennis van Huntelrooy, Dimitrios Karras, Chris McZehrl, Benjamin Munro and Ben Nelson. All ten players sit on exactly 3 shots on target, making this one of the most balanced top 10 so far. So, congratulations to Nick Dusk for winning the statistic by the extremely impressive margin of absolutely nothing. Goals Goals are ultimately what attacking is all about and Zach Mulder and João Mendes lead the way with 3 goals each. The pair sit comfortably ahead of the rest of the top 10 with both players managing to find the back of the net three times in one game. Nick Dusk, Matt Stro, Rodiano Santori, Mullet Man and Arthur Cain all follow on 2 goals. Creating a sizeable group just behind the leaders. With five players tied on 2, there is clearly very little separating the chasing group. Blaise N'Kufo, Ben Nelson and Michael Georgopolous round out the top ten with 1 goal each. While 3 goals is not exactly an enormous number, Mulder and Mendes have at least managed to establish themselves as the early leaders in the race for the golden boot. Goals outside the box Goals from outside the box are always a fun one to look at and this time we have three players sharing the top spot. Zach Mulder, Takaharu Suzuki and Mullet Man have each scored 1 goal from outside the box making them the only players in the top ten to have managed it. The remaining seven players all sit on 0 goals outside the box. Alex Peña, Anthony Lee, Armero Staple, Arsène N'Goussou, Alex Stain, Adrian Scochnikov and Aleksandr Skovgaard. You didn't do anything, but here's a free shoutout anyway. Not exactly the most competitive statistic yet but at least the three players at the top can claim to have tried their luck from distance. xG overperformance xG overperformance shows us which players are scoring more goals than the quality of their chances would suggest. Zach Mulder leads the league by a considerable margin with an impressive 2.16 meaning he has massively outperformed the chances that the engine has given. João Mendes follows on 1.79 with Rodiano Santori and Mullet Man close behind on 1.59 and 1.54 respectively. Matt Stro sits fifth on 1.35, while Nick Dusk rounds out the players above 1.0 with 1.20. Arthur Cain, Michael Georgopolous, Scorp E. Unshark and Jakob Fensterhausen complete the top ten with values ranging from 0.85 down to 0.60. Mulder's 2.16 is the standout here and considering he also leads the league in goals alongside João Mendes. That is a great start to his season. Predicted goals Predicted goals is a slightly different statistic as these numbers come from my own beautiful prediction model to estimate how many goals each player would be expected to score based on their attacking output. Zach Mulder comes out on top by a considerable margin with the model predicting 35 goals for him. Yoshisaur Munchakoopa follows with 28 predicted goals while João Mendes and Arthur Cain sit on 25 and 24 respectively. Nick Dusk is next on 17, before a four way tie between Ben Nelson, Matt Stro, Dennis van Huntelrooy and Owen Goal at 14. Greg Evil also lands on 14 to complete the top ten. The model clearly rates Mulder's attacking output extremely highly with his predicted total sitting 7 goals above second place Yoshi Munchakoopa and a full 11 above João Mendes with whom he is currently tied on goals. Offsides Offsides are usually a good indicator that an attacker is constantly trying to get in behind the defence although there is obviously a fine line between being dangerous and simply not knowing how the rules work. Mikko Rashford II and Dennis van Huntelrooy lead the way with 3 offsides each. Greg Evil, Owen Goal, Ryan O'Neill, Leonardo Stone, Blaise N'Kufo, David Doug II, Armero Staple and Stig Stampe all follow with 2 offsides each. That means the entire top ten is separated by just a single offside flag making this another close statistic. Rashford II and Huntelrooy can at least claim the most ambitious runs in the league. Whether those runs were actually timed correctly is, of course, a completely different question and one that we sha'll not discuss today. Striker impact Striker impact is another statistic calculated using my handcrafted model. It is designed to measure the overall impact of a striker based on their attacking output. Rodiano Santori comes out on top with an impressive score of 10.30 and narrowly beating Benjamin Munro at 10.09. Arthur Cain completes the top three with 9.88, followed by Vincent Haye on 8.41. There is then a noticeable drop to Greg Evil at 6.27 with the humble Dennis van Huntelrooy and Blaise N'Kufo following on 5.80 and 5.57 respectively. Kuba Kunicki, Owen Goal and Barry McGlynn complete the top ten. While Santori takes the top spot the very close battle between the top three makes this particularly interesting, with less than half a point separating first from third.
