Methodology, data & sources
Scope: Only statistics available in the source are evaluated. Coverage can vary by player, competition and statistic. All values refer to the available observations.
Period: 3 August 2025 to 19 July 2026, Europe/Berlin. Exported: 17 October 2026. The 20 players come from the supplied selection; this is not a verified official shortlist.
Calculations: Goals + assists is the sum of the native FotMob match values. Per 90 minutes = recorded value × 90 ÷ minutes in appearances for which that statistic is available. The FotMob rating is weighted by recorded minutes played. Minutes played always remain absolute.
Missing data: A dash means “not recorded”; 0 is a recorded zero. xG, xA and other detailed statistics are not available for every appearance. The covered subset may differ by statistic, so its total may not represent a complete season.
Charts: On each profile axis, 100 represents the highest recorded value among the 20 players with the selected filters. It is not an overall rating. The season timeline shows cumulative absolute goals or assists regardless of the per-90 setting; lines connect observed match dates.
Comparisons: Leagues and positions differ. No custom performance score, league weighting or prediction is used. A statistical ranking does not determine who the best footballer is.
Club & shirt: The shirt represents the club with the most recorded competitive appearances this season and the most frequently documented number at that club. Ties favour the more recent appearance. The graphic shows club colours, not an exact historical kit. A current profile club may differ from the club shown for this season.
Honours: Team results and individual awards are shown separately. A team trophy does not establish that a player received an individual medal. Awards for earlier seasons merely presented during this period are excluded; the awards list is not exhaustive.
Recorded appearances by player and statistic
Sources: Statistics are sourced from FotMob. “View matches” opens the recorded fixtures directly on this page. Original sources for matches, titles and awards are documented in the underlying dataset. The source is the local raw-data collection ballondor_top20_raw_saison2025_26_2026-10-17.
