It has been a long time since we last time published the top players according to Goalimpact. The list below contains the 50 active players worldwide that have the highest current Goalimpact rating.

The algorithm changed August this year so the time passed is not the only reason why the list changed. Main change was an improved correction for league quality. This not longer bases only on games between teams in different leagues, but also evaluates transfers between leagues.

However, the list still contains Stefan Ilsanker. When we listed him in October 2015 it raised some eyebrows, because he was an unknown player in the second German division. Now his club leads Bundesliga ahead of Bayern München and he maybe is a bit less controversial though still not on the list of many. Like as if to keep one very controversial player in the list, we now list André Ramalho from 1. FSV Mainz 05.
