All Competitions Top Goal Scorers 2011

Since it'd been a few days without a post I figured I'd give you a second post today as well on stats. This time it's all competition goal scorers for Sporting KC in their history. First here are some previous years for you.

1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010

On the list this year we add two new players to the list this season, other than that we see no movement on the list this year.

1. Preki - 81 (71 league, 8 playoff, 1 open cup, 1 international) (-)

2. Davy Arnaud - 52 (43 league, 4 playoff, 5 open cup) (-)

3. Josh Wolff - 46 (43 league, 1 playoff, 2 open cup) (-)

4. Chris Klein - 43 (39 league, 3 playoff, 1 open cup) (-)

5. Mo Johnston - 32 (31 league, 1 playoff) (-)

6. Vitalis "Digital" Takawira - 31 (28 league, 2 playoff, 1 open cup) (-)

7. Scott Sealy - 30 (28 league, 2 open cup) (-)

8T. Mark Chung - 21 (20 league, 1 playoff) (-)

8T. Kei Kamara - 21 (20 league, 1 open cup) (N/A) - Kamara's 9 league goals combined with his one goal in the open cup this year found him jump not just onto the list, but into the top 10. Another season like this one could find him in the top 5.

10T. Chris Brown - 20 (15 league, 1 playoff, 1 open cup, 3 international) (-1)

10T. Igor Simutenkov - 20 (12 league, 3 playoff, 5 open cup) (-1)

12T. Matt McKeon - 18 (13 league, 3 playoff, 1 open cup, 1 international) (-1)

12T. Teal Bunbury - 18 (14 league, 2 playoff, 2 open cup) (N/A) - KC's 2011 leading scorer in all competitions in 2011 saw him score 9 league goals, 2 playoff, and added one US Open Cup goal to land him on this list for the first time at the 12th spot. Like Kamara, Bunbury could find himself close to the top 5 with a season like this one next year.

14T. Miklos Molnar - 17 (12 league, 5 playoff) (-2)

14T. Eddie Johnson - 17 (17 league) (-2)

14T. Jimmy Conrad - 17 (17 league) (-2)

17. Francisco Gomez - 16 (11 league, 2 playoff, 1 open cup, 2 international) (-2)

18T. Jose Burciaga Jr. - 15 (13 league, 1 playoff, 1 international) (-2)

18T. Sasha Victorine - 15 (13 league, 2 open cup) (-2)

18T. Claudio Lopez - 15 (13 league, 1 open cup, 1 international) (-2)

18T. Jack Jewsbury - 15 (14 league, 1 playoff) (-2)

So after both Kamara and Bunbury worked their way onto the list this year, whose a candidate to find themselves on this list next year? As with the other list, CJ Sapong is the lead candidate to get onto this list. He's only 6 short currently after scoring 9 goals in all competitions this year, 5 in league play, 3 in the open cup, and 1 playoff goal. He could certainly make his way onto the list this coming season. Here's the rest of the list for current players.

CJ Sapong - 9
Graham Zusi - 6
Michael Harrington - 5
Birahim Diop - 5
Aurelien Collin - 5
Chance Myers - 2
Roger Espinoza - 2
Julio Cesar - 2
Matt Besler - 2
Luke Sassano - 1
Soony Saad - 1
