Players, since 2021
a shorter window than aboveEverything above this line covers 2004 onwards, because that is how far the schedule and the closing lines go back. Per-player box scores start at 2021, so any figure naming a player covers the 4 seasons from 2021 and no more. The two windows are kept apart rather than blended, and neither is presented as the complete history: these clubs have played each other for far longer than this database reaches, and nothing on this page covers the seasons before 2004.
