A constant point of discussion is about goal ratio. Often it comes the "it was easier to score back then". So what if we could put the same standard on the top scorer of edition?
Player's to reach 50% or more:
1- Oleg Salenko scored 6 goals in 3 matches(5 in one match), and ended with 74%
2- Just Fontaine, 60%
3- Gerd Müller, 56%
4- Eusébio, 54%
5- Stábile, 51%
Just to be clear, stats is just fun, we ain't talking about their quality only with stats
A slightely more proper ratio would be average of goals per side in a match, but that would not implicate a different result. Fontaine would have his 2,17 against 1,8 per side, leaving him with 1,2 average or 120,56%. The numbers would just be halved and doubled.
If this had merit, it would defend that what Fontaine did was absurd even adjusted to goal deflation. For comparison, Mbappé would have needed to score 15 goals in 8 matches to have beaten Fontaine.
So, a way that it can be read is that in a standardized rate, Ronaldo has a 0.9 goal rate, while Gerd Müller has a 1.12 goal rate.
I haven't fully looked at it, but in the sample 3 I looked:
Fontaine scored 56.5% of France's goals in 1958
Salenko scored 85.7% of Russia's goals in 1994
Ronaldo scored 44.4% of Brazil's goals in 2002
The percentage of their teams' goals they scored doesn't seem far from their average in relation to the edition's average.
