Each player's whole league season (all his clubs together) in the season shown: the default season for everyone, or the one chosen. Percentiles compare him with the players of his own role across the five leagues with 900+ minutes, so a full-back and a striker are each measured against their own; none under that floor. Shares and per-shot numbers are pulled towards the role's average by ten events, so a few shots do not make an extreme. np = without penalties; xG and xA are 11footy's own.
