Whilst looking at David Raya's stats, noticed that whilst top of the Clean Sheets list since he moved to the Premier League - he's not top on Clean Sheets vs Top 6 Opponents. Step forward Jordan Pickford - big game keeper with 16 CS vs Top 6 opponents

Leading Assists across Europe's Top 5 Leagues - Thauvin leads the way

La Liga is now 10 games in and the table is taking shape. After el Classico, Mbappé now has a massive 7 goals against Top 6 teams this season. The highest in the Top 5 leagues. Big game player

Gabriel’s 200th league appearance for Arsenal of course came with a Clean Sheet; and puts him in 5th place across Europe’s top 5 leagues in his time with Arsenal

A lot of R9 chat of late. Wrote a piece about him recently here: averageopposition.com/blog/i… Barely anyone can come close to what he did up to the age of his injury (23). Every other serious goalscorer matures post 24.

To celebrate adding 5 more seasons to the website, we can go back and look at Ronaldo's last four seasons in La Liga compared to his great rival Messi. These are ridiculous numbers. Coloured numbers based on final league placing of opponents I can't see a rivalry like this ever to be repeated in our sport. To have two players at this level in the same era is unprecedented. Go back to 2014/15 and compare any players from the Top 5 leagues now

On for his best season from a goal involvement view

Ahead of Gabriel's 200th PL game for Arsenal - here's a look at the big three Centre Backs over that time (from 2020-21 season) Gabriel leads the way in terms of number of clean sheets (more games played) but has the fewest against Top 6 opposition. Van Dijk leads the trio for clean sheets against Top 6 teams. Fourth placed after Ruben Dias would be James Tarkowksi

Is it harder to score 20 goals or assist 20 goals?

Europe’s top 5 leagues - only three players have kept 5 clean sheets (all after 7 games) Verbruggen (Brighton) Vuskovic (Brighton) Hermoso (Roma) 👏👏👏

Milestones this weekend: Kane 100 Bundesliga Apps for Bayern Murillo 100 PL Apps for Forest Oyarzabal 50 La Liga Assists for Sociedad Kubler 50 Clean Sheets in Bundesliga for Freiburg

Mbappé leading the goals vs Top 6 Opposition in Europe's top 5 leagues after two against Seville this weekend (6th)

Zero top flight career goals before 26/27 This season 7 in 7. Antonio Raimondo

Seems to be a lot of arguments between Arsenal and City fans on here - latest is Foden vs Saka. If it helps to settle any arguments, record in the PL only from 19/20 (when both became regulars). Excluding penalties - Goals & Assists: Saka in 20 appearances more. Compare here for these two or others across Europe's top 5 leagues: averageopposition.com/compar…

This sums up PSG pretty well - Dembele in knock out games in 2026 and his Ligue Un stats for this season

New feature added on player pages. Shows late stage knock out game performance - helps to prove big game scorers

Who’ll be happier with what was essentially a swap deal between Spurs and Brighton for van Hecke and Vuskovic?
