What the numbers mean
A shot on target is any attempt the goalkeeper has to deal with, or that would have gone in without him. It is the simplest measure of a player who tests goalkeepers, which is why it sits at the centre of so much scouting shorthand and so many bet builders.
Volume says who shoots; the bars say how well. Shots on target per 90 removes the minutes advantage, shots per 90 shows the appetite, accuracy is the share of attempts that hit the target, and goals is what came of it. High accuracy on low volume is a picky finisher; the reverse is a player who shoots from anywhere.
The list rebuilds every night from the latest matches, so it will move as the season goes on. The date on each card says when it last changed.

What counts as a shot on target?
Any attempt that would have gone in without a save or a block on the line: scored, saved, or cleared off the line. A shot that hits the post or bar without going in does not count, and neither does a blocked shot that would have missed.
Why show per 90 as well as the total?
The total rewards players who play every minute. Shots on target per 90 puts a player with 400 minutes on the same footing as one with 800, which is how a scout would compare them.
How often does it update?
Every night, from the latest matches. The order, the cards and the table rebuild together, and the date on each card says when the list last changed.
Reading the list
The total rewards players who play every minute and shoot a lot, so look at the accuracy and per 90 bars before drawing a conclusion. A striker near the top with low accuracy is being fed chances; a midfielder with high accuracy and a short list of shots is worth a closer look.
