The per 90 stats in football measure a player's output scaled to a full 90-minute match, allowing fair comparisons between players with different playing times and allowing us to see who are the genuine best performing players in the league this season so far. The format works by taking a player's total for any metric (eg: goals, tackles, passes, etc) and divides it by their total minutes played, then multiplies by 90 so a regular substitute who plays 15-to-20 minutes a week can be accurately compared to the impact of a starter who plays the full match every week.
