According to a survey by journalist Tomás Rosolino, the leader of the list is Jadson, who ended his time at Corinthians with 114 direct goal contributions, the result of 50 goals scored and 64 assists. Yuri Alberto is five contributions behind the former attacking midfielder and could match or surpass the mark in the coming matches this season.

The striker has also opened a gap over Ángel Romero, who is third in the ranking with 103 contributions, including 67 goals and 36 assists. Gil is in fourth place with 98 contributions (53 goals and 45 assists), while Jô rounds out the top five with 90 direct contributions, made up of 65 goals and 25 assists.

In addition to cutting the gap to first place on the list, Yuri Alberto found the net again in the Brazilian Championship after a spell without scoring in the competition. The striker also ended a run of about eight months without scoring twice in the same match.

In 2026, Yuri remains one of the main attacking references for the team coached by Fernando Diniz. The striker’s next match will be this Sunday (26) at 4:00 p.m. Brasília time, when Corinthians face Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova in the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship.
