Records

Is that number actually unusual?
Every per-match leaderboard in the archive, so any historical claim can be checked against the matches behind it. 416 matches and 2,969 player performances archived back to 2015-16 — but coverage depends on the metric (full analytics from 2021-22, xG from 2020-21, basic shots/possession from 2015-16), so each board below states its own range rather than implying they all match.

Current-season entries are shown in red. Player names link to their profile, match lines to the report. Player boards are raw match totals, not per-90 — a substitute's 33 passes in 45 minutes will not appear here, and should never be compared with a starter's 90-minute figure.
416 matches · all seasons · data: WhoScored + FotMob · data through 24 Oct 2026 · Open-play figures exclude goal kicks, throw-ins, corners, free-kicks and keeper throws. PPDA is the zoned calculation used across the site. 2020-21 is excluded — Covid season, played behind closed doors. Boards rebuild with scraper/build_records.py. · how the numbers work · glossary
