Jez’s recent interview with BBC Radio Lincolnshire got me thinking.

He mentioned James Collins’ strike rate being one of the best in the league, so I thought I might do a series of articles, based on Wyscout stats.

I thought (and please correct me if I’m wrong) that people might like to see top ten stats for players in our division, and our best performer, whether they’re tenth, or further down. I’ll start with this one and see how it lands.

With that in mind, these ten forwards clocked the most efficient goal-scoring records in League One this season (I include only those playing at least 400 minutes). Their minutes-per-goal ratio highlights both veterans and emerging talents who delivered consistent attacking impact.

10. Richard Kone – 0.51 G/90 (Wycombe Wanderers)

Richard Kone was a revelation in 2024/25, scoring 0.51 goals per 90 minutes across 3,161 minutes in 43 matches. The 21-year-old emerged as a crucial attacking outlet for Wycombe Wanderers, combining raw pace, clever movement, and clinical finishing.

His development over the season was impressive, contributing not only with goals but also by stretching defences and creating space for others. Kone’s work rate was immense, and his ability to adapt to League One football was a testament to his character and potential. With scouts from higher divisions reportedly monitoring his progress, Wycombe fans will hope to retain his services for at least another season.

9. Alfie May – 0.53 G/90 (Birmingham City)

Alfie May continued his remarkable rise through the football pyramid with another strong campaign in League One. Playing 2,557 minutes for Birmingham City, the 31-year-old scored consistently, ending the season with a 0.53 goals-per-90 ratio. May’s intelligence in the final third, combined with his relentless energy, made him a constant threat.

Often dropping deep or drifting wide, he was equally effective as a creator and finisher. His goals proved vital in Birmingham’s promotion push, and his leadership on and off the pitch added extra value to his contributions. Few players can boast such productivity at this stage of their career.
