Cody Gakpo surprisingly tops the charts at 7.44, outshining even Dominik Szoboszlai (7.4 standout per some metrics), with 5 goals.[1][2][8] Salah, at 7.05, has dipped from his record-breaking prior season (8 goals/assists in 16 games), showing sloppy play.[1][5] New signing Hugo Ekitiké impresses at 7.01, leading scorers with 6-8 goals despite inconsistencies; he edges injured Alexander Isak.[1][5][8] Alisson (6.94) anchors defense, while Szoboszlai shines versatilely, eyed as future captain.[1]
Other notables include Gravenberch (4 goals), Kerkez, and Bradley. Liverpool's attack relies on fluid combos, but defensive solidity from Van Dijk (7.15) and Konaté (6.95) is key amid a mid-table push for Champions League spots.[1][4] (298 words)
