Scorers and assists

Where these numbers come from

Our own database, built from the same feed every match here uses. Team figures for 9 of 9 matches, goals and cards by minute for all 9, player-level detail for 9. Crowds and referees are as published for the 0 matches that carry them . Nothing on this page is a projection.

What is missing, stated plainly. the event feed is missing 8 of the 18 goals, so goal minutes, penalties and the scorer table are floors; there is no xG for this division either, so nothing here is a chance-quality judgement; goals are goals; attendance is published for 0 of 9 matches, so there is no average to give.

The rest of the season on the same data: all 18 clubs, their matches and their players · the free season packs.
