Posted by: Newswire, 2025-06-25, 47 Views
As the 2025 season heats up across the Americas region in World Elite Soccer, forward players are making their mark not just with goals, but also with setup efficiency, shot accuracy, and overall offensive impact. The latest statistics offer a revealing snapshot of who’s leading the charge in goal scoring—and who’s excelling beyond raw numbers.
🥇 Abdul Mochtar (Houston)
Goals: 11
Games Played (GP): 11
Shot Accuracy (On Goal %): 62.2%
Scoring Efficiency (Goals/Shots): 13.4%
Setups Success Rate: 89.7% (35 of 39)
Abdul Mochtar tops the scoring chart with 11 goals in as many games. Beyond the volume, what makes him stand out is his high shot accuracy (62.2%) and elite efficiency in setups. Mochtar combines clinical finishing with team involvement, making him both a dependable scorer and a potent setup contributor.
🥈 David Kager (Nashville)
Goals: 10
Shot Conversion: 15.6% (best among top scorers)
Shots on Goal %: 48.4%
Setups Success: 70.4%
Kager is the most efficient scorer by percentage among the top names. With a 15.6% scoring rate, he capitalizes on fewer chances compared to others, showing smart positioning and precision. He’s not as involved in the creative build-up (1 assist), but as a finisher, he’s sharp and reliable.
🥉 Tsvetelin Petrov (Las Vegas)
Goals: 10
Shots: 94 (highest volume)
Conversion Rate: 10.6%
Setups Success: 80.7%
Petrov is a high-volume shooter with 94 attempts—by far the most—and 67 successful setups. Though his scoring efficiency (10.6%) is lower, his role is clearly central to Las Vegas’s attack. Petrov’s numbers suggest a player trusted to create and shoot, acting as a high-usage engine of offense.
⚖️ Balanced Contributor: Helmet Burke (Brasilia)
Goals: 7
Shots: 72
Setups: 58 with 58.6% success
Minutes Played: 861 (fewer than peers)
Burke's numbers reflect a strong balance of creativity and scoring, with 7 goals from 72 shots and a fair setup efficiency. His on-goal rate (41.7%) and overall goal involvement suggest value added in fewer minutes.
🔥 Breakout Efficiency: Petr Malek (Talcahuano)
Goals: 5
Shots: 27
Conversion Rate: 18.5% (highest overall)
On Goal %: 37%
Malek scores on nearly 1 in every 5 shots, leading all players in efficiency. While his shot volume is lower, the accuracy makes him a hidden gem—highly dangerous in tight spaces or as a poacher.
📉 Underwhelming Returns: Robert Pollack & Jason Snodden
Pollack: 5 goals from 69 shots (7.2% scoring)
Snodden: 5 goals from 55 shots (9.1%)
Both players get involved often but convert poorly. Pollack, with a 33.3% on-goal rate, is the least accurate shooter, suggesting decision-making or positioning issues. Snodden is more consistent but similarly inefficient.
💡 Notable Mentions
Radoslav Iury (Talcahuano): 4 goals from just 40 shots with an 88% setup success rate, proving extremely effective in team play.
Justus Jakorski (Buenos Aires): Quiet contributor with 4 goals, 39% on-goal accuracy, and a decent 9.8% scoring rate.
Ivan Ginchev (Las Vegas - Midfielder): Despite being a midfielder, Ginchev scored 4 goals with a 94.4% setup success, showing exceptional technical contribution in a deeper role.
