Interesting comparison of strikers based on how much they played, scored and assisted. I was surprised how productive Jesus has actually been when on the field - and more surprised that Aubameyang and Nketiah have about the same goal contribution rate for minutes played. Giroud always surprises me when I see his numbers - very very good. Early days for Gyokeres so not comparative until later in the season. please log in to view this image
Havertz isn't really fair either because half of his apps have been as a number 8. Actually crazy how few minutes RVP played considering he was with us for 8 Seasons.
Yeah - if you take away Havertz MF appearances he's close to the top of the list as the most productive in the PL era in terms of mins per G+A.
I'll exclude Gyokeres for now because he's only just joined, but for me, the best strikers I've seen play at The Emirates from that list (+Adebayor as I'm surprised he's not in the list): Robin van Persie Alexis Sanchez Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang Emmanuel Adebayor Kai Havertz Olivier Giroud Alexandre Lacazette Gabriel Jesus (the knee injuries and ACL injuries have totally ruined him) Eddie Nketiah
Your list is interesting - i would put Giroud 2nd behind RVP. IN fact i think my ranking would be very different other than RVP at the top
For reference Lacazette - a goal contribution (excluding pens) every 133 minutes , which puts him slightly ahead of Aubameyang Adebayor - a goal contribution (excluding pens) every 156 minutes - which puts him below Nketiah but slightly above Havertz Mins per goal contribution (non pens) RVP 104 Alexis 109 Giroud 113 Jesus 121 Laca 133 Auba 135 Nketiah 146 Adebayor 156 Havertz 163 Gyokeres 376 Again though , bottom 2 Havertz and Gyokeres skewed for different reasons - Havertz played a lot of minutes in midfield and Gyokeres has just started so his rate will be spiky until he's done a season. As a striker -Havertz may well be clear at the top of the list when playing as a striker only, think it's like a non pen goal contribution every 90 mins
