+1 from me... It must of taken you a really long time for you to do this. You should also consider the impact of the goal whether it was a game winner or just for delivering a dagger.

But overall, it is really nice. I enjoyed it.

@Chanakya

Thank you.... I wanted to introduce the 'score changing' factor as well, but it is too difficult to throw in both. Maybe I'll do a separate one later.

If you're basing them on difficulty, then don't you think penalties should be worth lesser points then normal goals? I understand it is difficult, just a suggestion (although applying this logic you would also have to value freekicks more, etc).

I may agree with Murderer, i was avoiding puting a negative comment due to the efforts and the active contribution of dynast, a very good member here.
But i barely see how a PK can have 5pts even against juventus, some late goals at 4-0 or 3-0 when the oppositon had already given up, rather than an equaliser goal or a late winner goal even against a small team still defending for their result as little devils...
edit : The only reason i didnt comment mate, i put the +1 for the informations and went.

@Murrderer

Yes, but ESPNfc does not show me if/when goals are from free-kicks or penalties. I would have to do that from memory. I can remember all of Ronaldo's, Bale's, Benzema's, and Suarez's goals, but less of Messi's, Neymar's, and Alexis', and almost none of the other players because I don't watch every Bayern or City game. It is too difficult to include that attribute in. But I can do something similar with the score-changing factor.

The factor being: goals while team is winning count as 2 points, goals while team was drawn count as 3 points, goals while team was losing count as 5 points. Etc, etc.

I realize it is difficult and sort of needless, which is why I +1'd before posting and added that it's only a suggestion. Good OP nonetheless.

^ And Benzema tied with Suarez too. Also notice how Costa is miles ahead of Suarez.
