Pfft. Sounds like your top player likely wouldn't make our bench.

I know. but the steaks were awesome.

Ah well then. I take it back. Your player is better.

U10 - 6 goals consistently, 5-10 assists
U12 - 7 goals, 6-10 assissts
U14 - 4 goals, 12 assists
U16 - 5 goals, 5 assists

Hard troll. Soccer ain’t basketball, brotha.

Lots of goals against a lower level team means nothing. Not in club, not in high school, not in college.

By prolific I mean one that stands out consistently.

Break down reply by age group as scoring can change over age groups.

apparently NONE is the answer. Look at Top Drawer soccer list of 100 Female college freshman. LOTs and LOTs of forwards on there with literally ZERO goals and ZERO assists. Zero.

All while playing at FCV?

Anonymous wrote:It all depends on the league and team. If the average goals per game for a team is 3.0 then a player on that team scoring 1.5 goals a game (50% of the team's total goals) would stand out. But if the same team averages 5.0 goals per game, that same player would just be a typical forward.

+1. It’s a combination of several things. A natural goal scorer at the top level can score 3 or 4 goals depending on team being played. BUT can this player take the stress of other players competing for their spot? Can they keep developing their tech skills? Do they have the right killer instincts, meaning aggressiveness and soccer IQ and are they coachable. So many factors to take into consideration and develop.

For the first half, yes. A true standout would score 2x these numbers by the final whistle.

Final whistle? Where I grew up a through-and-through, 100% genuine standout would score 3x these numbers before the first whistle.

per game?

I assumed this was a tongue in cheek response to a silly question. As was the guy who suggested the numbers should be higher. I guess sarcasm is dead these days.

A really good GK - I mean a truly dominant one - should be scoring several goals a game as well as keeping a clean sheet.

This sounds like a pretty average player to me. A truly dominant player would contribute more than this.

My kid had 38 goals in one season U10😀.

He is now U16 and gets just a couple a season.
