529 – Unsurprisingly, right-footed goals made up more than half of the league’s first 1,000 finishes so far this season, with Orange County SC’s Thomas Enevoldsen having recorded 11 of his 13 goals in 2018 with his right peg, the most of any player in the league so far in 2018.

292 – The league has also seen some prolific left-footers in the scoring charts this season with 292 of the first 1,000 goals this season having come off the left foot. FC Cincinnati’s Emmanuel Ledesma and Tulsa Roughnecks FC’s Joaquin Rivas are tied for the league-high with eight left-footed tallies.

144 – Headed goals have often been the domain of defenders, and in the 144 headed goals that made up the first 1,000 goals this season two players from the back line are among the trio tied for the league-lead. Penn FC’s Ken Tribbett, Real Monarchs SLC’s Kalen Ryden and the New York Red Bulls II’s Brian White have all notched four headed finishes this season.

156 – The league’s players scored 156 goals from outside the penalty area, of which 32 came from direct free kicks, in its first 1,000 goals of the season. Four players are tied for the league-lead with four tallies from outside the penalty area – Cameron Lancaster (LOU), Efrain Alvarez (LA), Emmanuel Ledesma (CIN) and Kyle Greig (STL) – while Fresno’s Juan Pablo Caffa has been the leading dead-ball marksman with three goals from free kicks in 2018.

81 – The league’s players converted 81 penalty kicks in the first 1,000 goals scored this season, and no-one has been cooler from the spot than Orange County SC’s Aodhan Quinn, who leads the league with five goals from penalty kicks and holds a 100 percent success rate from the spot this season.

8,866 – Given the range of players competing in the USL, 8,866 is the number of days that separate the date of birth of the league’s oldest goalscorer this season – Phoenix Rising FC’s Didier Drogba, born March 11, 1978 – and the league’s youngest goalscorer this season – the LA Galaxy II’s Efrain Alvarez, born June 19, 2002. In broader terms, that’s a difference of 24 years, three months and eight days, which is the precise age Drogba’s Rising FC teammate Kody Wakasa – born May 6, 1994 – will be in two days.
