A player who has been on the pitch for 2,700 minutes has had roughly 30 full matches to accumulate goals, assists and cards; one on 900 has had ten. Use this table before judging any other leaderboard, and divide by 90 to get full-match equivalents when comparing a starter with a substitute.
When comparing entries, remember that opportunity drives output. Minutes played decide how often a player can add to his tally, so a squad player with a strong per-90 rate can outrank a starter over a full season. Every figure on this page is recalculated after each round, so the order you see is the order after the most recent matchday in the Premier League.
