Half of Grêmio's squad has scored this year, see the numbers | OneFootball

Grêmio has a clear mission during this World Cup break: improve its attacking efficiency.

Under coach Luís Castro, the team shows a worrying contrast when comparing its overall attacking performance this year with its Brasileirão-only numbers, according to information from ge.

In the overall season tally, 52.77% of Grêmio’s outfield players have already found the net (19 of the 36 players who have taken the field).

However, when the focus is only on the Brazilian Championship, that rate drops sharply to 28.12% (only 9 of the 32 players used have scored).

Check out below the data gathered in a report by the ge website!

The burden in the Brazilian Championship

The lack of different goalscorers is directly reflected in the standings. Tricolor ended the first half of the season suffering with the fourth-worst attack in the Brasileirão, with only 20 goals scored — ahead of only Mirassol and Corinthians (both with 18) and Chapecoense (17).

The situation is only not more dramatic thanks to the excellent form of center forward Carlos Vinicius, who was responsible for almost half of the team’s goals in the national competition (nine goals). Far behind on the list, Gabriel Mec and Tetê appear with only two goals each.

Distribution of goals in the season

Altogether, Grêmio has scored 54 goals this year (including 3 own goals in the team’s favor). The forwards lead the statistics, followed by the midfielders and, finally, the defenders:

Attack: 34 goals (66.66%)

Midfield: 12 goals (23.52%)

Defense: 5 goals (9.8%)

Top scorers of the year

The dependence on the No. 9 becomes even more evident when looking at the team’s top scorers across all competitions in 2026:

Carlos Vinicius: 17 goals (31.48% of the team’s goals)

Amuzu: 7 goals (12.96%)

Braithwaite: 4 goals (7.40%)

Edenilson, Mec and Tetê: 3 goals each (5.55%)

Viery: 2 goals (3.70%)

With 1 goal each (1.85%): Cristaldo, Roger, Arthur, Wagner Leonardo, Monsalve, Enamorado, Marlon, Noriega, Gustavo Martins, Nardoni, Willian and Pavon.
