Player statistics explorer

The season’s player-statistics explorer (football): every player of the league, 20 a page, sorted by any statistic, with a group of columns — summary, attack, defense, passing, goalkeeping or other — and filters by position and team. Football leagues only: the source has no such explorer for other sports (checked 2026-10-28 on the NBA, NHL and EuroLeague), so their leagues answer 404 not_supported — use /v2/leagues/{id}/top-players for their season leaders.

Keys are the season-statistic vocabulary (as in /v2/players/{id}/statistics); every row also carries appearances and minutesPlayed, and the order key when its group lacks it. Walk pages until hasNextPage is false (at most 50 pages = 1,000 players). For the top N of one statistic, /top-players is cheaper.
