We present to the supporters' attention a statistical selection in a number of individual nominations for the first team of FC BATE Borisov following the results of the Championship-2021.
Let's start with the number of PLAYED MATCHES. At least half of the encounters were held by 14 players:
| 1. | Jakov FILIPOVIĆ | 28 |
| Yauhen YABLONSKI | 28 | |
| 3. | Pavel KARASEV | 27 |
| Shokhboz UMAROV | 27 | |
| Aleksandar FILIPOVIĆ | 27 | |
| 6. | Nemanja MILIĆ | 25 |
| 7. | Danila NECHAYEU | 24 |
| 8. | Pavel NIAKHAICHYK | 24 |
| Mikalai SIHNEVICH | 24 | |
| 10. | Pavel RYBAK | 20 |
| 11. | Dzmitry BESSMERTNY | 16 |
| 12. | Siarhei VOLKAU | 15 |
| Maksim SKAVYSH | 15 | |
| Anton CHYCHKAN | 15 |
The captain’s armband was tried on this season by five players: Pavel Niakhaichyk (11 times), Stanislau Drahun (8), Yauhen Yablonski (7), Jakov Filipović (2) and Mikalai Sihnevich (1). By the way, the Croatian Jakov Filipović is the first (and so far the only) legionnaire in the history of our club to whom the captain’s powers were entrusted!
And these are the top-8 players by PLAYING TIME (in minutes) on the pitch:
| 1. | Jakov FILIPOVIĆ | 2461 |
| 2. | Yauhen YABLONSKI | 2407 |
| 3. | Aleksandar FILIPOVIĆ | 2360 |
| 4. | Pavel KARASEV | 1992 |
| 5. | Danila NECHAYEU | 1883 |
| 6. | Nemanja MILIĆ | 1657 |
| 7. | Shokhboz UMAROV | 1580 |
| 8. | Pavel NIAKHAICHYK | 1541 |
And at the head of this nomination is Jakov Filipović too. Let’s also note the fifth-placed 22-year-old defender Danila Nechayeu, who made his debut at FC BATE Borisov last season.
It is not surprising that the same Jakov Filipović is ahead of all in the number of FULL MATCHES (90-minute ones):
| 1. | Jakov FILIPOVIĆ | 26 |
| 2. | Aleksandar FILIPOVIĆ | 25 |
| 3. | Yauhen YABLONSKI | 24 |
| 4. | Danila NECHAYEU | 15 |
| 5. | Anton CHYCHKAN | 14 |
| 6. | Andrei KUDRAVETS | 13 |
| 7. | Pavel RYBAK | 11 |
| 8. | Mikalai SIHNEVICH | 10 |
The Serbian Aleksandar Filipovic and the Belarusian Yauhen Yablonski competed with the Croatian there. The rest of the players lagged behind noticeably.
In terms of the number of VICTORIES, which is quite natural, the most frequent players of the team are ahead:
| 1. | Jakov FILIPOVIĆ | 18 |
| Yauhen YABLONSKI | 18 | |
| 3. | Pavel KARASEV | 17 |
| Nemanja MILIĆ | 17 | |
| 5. | Danila NECHAYEU | 16 |
| Shokhboz UMAROV | 16 | |
| Aleksandar FILIPOVIĆ | 16 | |
| 8. | Pavel NIAKHAICHYK | 14 |
| Mikalai SIHNEVICH | 14 | |
| 10. | Pavel RYBAK | 12 |
Among the players who have played at least fifteen matches, Nemanja Milić, Danila Nechayeu and Maksim Skavysh, who left the Yellow-Blues’ squad, lost less often than others (only once).
The list of the Yellow-Blues’ best GOALSCORERS is headed by the already mentioned Skavysh, who parted with FC BATE Borisov at the equator of the championship. Alas, the coaching staff of our club failed to make up for this loss in the attacking line in full:
| 1. | Maksim SKAVYSH | 9 |
| 2. | Pavel NIAKHAICHYK | 6 |
| Mikalai SIHNEVICH | 6 | |
| Shokhboz UMAROV | 6 | |
| 5. | Stanislau DRAHUN | 5 |
| Dmytro YUSOV | 5 | |
| 7. | Jakov FILIPOVIĆ | 4 |
| Yauhen YABLONSKI | 4 |
The well-experienced Pavel Niakhaichyk is at the head of the best ASSISTANTS roster:
| 1. | Pavel NIAKHAICHYK | 10 |
| 2. | Shokhboz UMAROV | 8 |
| 3. | Nemanja MILIĆ | 6 |
| 4. | Pavel KARASEV | 3 |
As to the list of the MOST USEFUL players (according to the ‘goal + assist’ system), Niakhaichyk is also ahead of all there:
| 1. | Pavel NIAKHAICHYK | 16 (6+10) |
| 2. | Shokhboz UMAROV | 14 (6+8) |
| 3. | Maksim SKAVYSH | 10 (9+1) |
| 4. | Nemanja MILIĆ | 9 (3+6) |
| 5. | Mikalai SIHNEVICH | 8 (6+2) |
| 6. | Stanislau DRAHUN | 7 (5+2) |
And finally, let’s present the GOALKEEPERS’ table (the first digital column indicates the number of matches played, the second – conceded goals, and the third – clean sheet games):
| 1. | Anton CHYCHKAN | 15 | 13 | 8 |
| 2. | Andrei KUDRAVETS | 13 | 13 | 5 |
| 3. | Viachaslau DZERHACHOU | 2 | 1 | 1 |
For Kudravets and Dzerhachou, the recent championship was debut one in their careers. By the way, Kudravets became the youngest goalkeeper-debutant in the top-ranked matches of our team. He played his first fight in the domestic championship for FC BATE Borisov (home encounter against FC Energetik-BGU) at the age of 17 years and 227 days. The previous record (19 years and 28 days) belonged to Yury Zhaunou and was set on 15rh May 2000. In general, a unique story happened with our goalkeepers in the last year: for the first time for a championship match (talking about the game FC Energetik-BGU – FC BATE Borisov), the 4th (Dzerhachou) and 5th (Uladzislau Ihnatsyeu) goalkeepers according to the club hierarchy were included to the match sheet. Let us remind you that before the August match with the ‘Students’, Chychkan and Kudravets were in the infirmary of our team. And Dzianis Shcharbitski, although he was listed in the team squad, was injured and performed exclusively the functions of a goalkeeper coach.
