GOALSCORERS
Guntars Silagailas has stormed to the top of the chart following his two-goal salvo on Friday night. The Latvian could prove to be the shrewdest of Paul Doolin's close season acquisitions. St Pat's Mark Leech added to his tally but now faces a long spell on the sidelines; his likely replacement Kyle Moran netted his first of the campaign in Richmond Park as well.
Derry's Thomas Stewart netted his second goal in the capital while Dessie Baker has settled in to the new surroundings at Tallaght Stadium well, finding the target in both games played there to date. Unfortunately for his side, Ciaran Martyn obliged with a late goal for Derry for the second week running.
There have been 26 different goalscorers so far. Galway Utd, Bohemians, and Derry City have all produced four different goal-getters.
The 36 goals scored have included 10 headers, one free kick, and four successful penalties.
St Patrick's Athletic have gone 307 minutes without conceding a goal.
APPEARANCES
Shamrock Rovers boss Michael O'Neill named an unchanged XI for the fourth week running, the only team in the Division to do so.
Derry City's Mark Farren was substituted for the fourth week running. Last season's top scorer has been struggling for form in this campaign, but this statistic also shows the attacking strength in depth available to Candystripes' boss Stephen Kenny.
42 players have so far played every minute of every game for their clubs.
Galway Utd's Declan Edwards record of having being introduced as a sub in every game will end this week following his sending off. The three others to have achieved this feat are Tadgh Purcell, Tiarnan Mulvenna, and Robbie Farrell.
WIN, LOSE OR DRAW
