Top Attacking Players 13/14 | Suarez, Silva, Hazard, Ozil and Adebayor

Mins Per Goal Involvement

This is a really interesting statistic combining goals scored and assists to show how involved a player is per goal for their side. This is calculated by dividing their total minutes player with the total goals plus total assists.

The image below illustrates the mins per goal goal involvement for players that have scored more than 5 goals.

Mins Per Goal Involvement

Luis Suarez was way ahead in this measure but his recent drought of no goal in 310 minutes has pushed Aguero in front who has been involved in a goal every 59.95 minutes as compared to Suarez’ 60.77. Daniel Sturridge’s goal and assist last night for Liverpool also improved his numbers to 70.85 minutes per goal involvement as has Adebayor’s impressive recent run of form. Wayne Rooney’s 9 goals and 9 assists this season ensure he remains one of the most dangerous players in the league.

The Second Assist

This is a statistic that isn’t really talked about much. Opta define it as the following:

A pass/cross that is instrumental in creating a goal-scoring opportunity, for example a corner or free-kick to a player who then assists an attempt, a chance-creating through ball or cross into a dangerous position.

This is an interesting measure that is used in Hockey more than football but it’s still interesting to see which players unlock defences by send players in behind defences that then go on to create goals. Samir Nasri impressively leads the way with Rosicky, Yaya, Henderson and Kacanikilic completing the top five here.
