  1. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't Andy Carroll be on this list?

  3. Steve,
    Yevhen Seleznyov has 12 goals for Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in 17 games (.70 goals per game).

    Good idea for a post!

  4. I went with the 'Top 5' Euro leagues only for this post. I'm thinking of doing another strike rate post including all the Euro leagues but with a higher cutoff point (maybe .70 would be good).

    Thanks Bill

  5. Er, what about Van Persie? 10 goals in 18 appearances in 2010/11

  6. Daz,
    The list was made prior to last weekends games. At that time Van Persie was on 6 goals in 13 Premier League appearances, just missing this list.
    Thanks
