Squad statistics

Squad and statistics accurate as of 4 January 2015
90 Minutes played is counted as a full game. Injury Time is not counted. A sub's appearance is counted up to the 90th minute as well. If a substitution is made during extra time, it is counted as a full game (90mins) to the player that started. The substitute is credited with the number of minutes made up from 30 seconds for every substitution in the game by both teams combined. If there is an uneven number of substitutions made in total, the number of minutes is rounded up to the following number (2.5 mins = 3 mins).

If a shot is taken by a player but then saved by the goalkeeper before a follow up shot scores a goal, the player/s that took the shot before the save is/are NOT credited with an assist. If a penalty is won and scored, the person who was fouled for the penalty is NOT credited with an assist.
If a Finals game goes to Extra Time and a substitution is made, per the original rule, only the 30 minutes (2x 15 minute halves) is counted, NOT injury time. If the referee adds injury to either half and a substitution IS made during injury time, it also reverts back to the original rule (2.5 mins = 3 mins)
