Attack and Defence Rankings
Each season features club attack and defence rankings for every team in the Football League, offering a clear view of performance across the competition. But what truly defined the champions? Was it relentless attacking power, rock-solid defence, or the perfect balance of both? By exploring the numbers in detail, these reports uncover the patterns behind success and reveal what the statistics have to say.
Gates
Attendance records provide a detailed picture of football's popularity, ranking clubs by average home and away league gates, competition attendances, and total seasonal support. Together, these statistics reveal which clubs attracted the largest crowds and captured the public imagination.
Goals
Goalscorer tallies have always captured the imagination. We track these for Division 1 and Premier League players, highlighting each season’s leading marksmen alongside their career totals to date.
Beyond the seasonal headlines, we also maintain a running record of goalscorers since the very start of the league—featuring both the game’s most familiar names and those whose achievements have faded into the mists of time.
Keepers
Clean sheets capture a fundamental truth in football: if you don’t concede, you can’t lose. They reflect defensive strength across the whole team while offering a clear measure of a goalkeeper’s impact. While attackers are judged by what they create, goalkeepers are defined by what they prevent. Over time, clean sheet totals build a powerful record of consistency, reliability, and lasting contribution to a team’s success.
Cup Honours
There is a dedicated page for every season dating back to 1871. Each one tracks the running totals of FA Cup and League Cup performances up to the date of the report, alongside the round reached in that particular campaign. The focus is on highlighting the standout performers who made their mark in each competition.
