Method & sources
Each goal, assist and save is credited to the player's club at the time of that tournament, then aggregated by the league that club competes in. Own goals are excluded from player totals (2022, for example: 170 player goals + 2 own goals = 172 official). Recent tournaments: goals and assists from worldfootball.net cross-checked against FIFA match reports; 2022 keeper saves from FOX Sports (regulation saves only, shootouts excluded). 2026 data is compiled from official match reports as the tournament unfolds.
Historical tournaments (2018, 2014, 2010) list the confirmed top contributors per league rather than every cameo — assist and save lists for those years pre-date consistent public attribution and are best-effort. Corrections welcome via GitHub. One judgment call worth knowing: Cristiano Ronaldo's 2022 goal is listed as "unattached" — Manchester United terminated his contract on 22 Nov 2022, two days before he scored.
