"After this weekend's games, Lautaro Martinez is now the top scorer in Serie A, with him sitting on six goals after a brace against Pisa. However, it seems that he may not actually be the best goalscorer in the division. Simply the best Scoring six goals is solid, as is the fact that he has two assists. However, he has achieved that by playing 978 minutes of league football so far this season, featuring in each of Inter's 13 matches."
"Sitting behind him are Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic - both of whom are not orthodox strikers - and they both have scored five times in the league thus far. The caveat, though, is the timings. Leao has the eighth-best scoring frequency in the league, grabbing a goal every 125 minutes on average, which is much better than the 163-minute average that Lautaro offers to Inter. Then there is Pulisic, who has found the net every 84 minutes."
Lautaro Martinez leads Serie A with six goals and two assists, accumulated across 978 minutes of league football in Inter's 13 matches. Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic each have five league goals but outperform Martinez on scoring frequency. Leao averages a goal every 125 minutes, while Pulisic has found the net every 84 minutes across only 422 minutes of play. Pulisic is scoring almost twice as quickly as Martinez despite substantially fewer minutes. The raw goals total places Martinez top, but goals-per-minute metrics suggest other attackers are currently more efficient goalscorers and traditional No. 9s may not be the most effective scorers.
