My monthly database update is done. All values now include all games until October 31st 2013. The last column reports the changes in the Goalimpact as compared to last month's update. As always the table contains only players below the age of 30.
The players marked yellow are new entries. Isaac Cuenca, Fernandinho, and Emmanuel Adebayor dropped out.
In the last update, some readers suggested that I should increase the age limit of 30 in this list. The limit is introduced, because in the current version of the algorithm, old players are overvalued compared to young players. Keeping the limit, will mean e.g. that Philip Lahm will not be reported anymore in the next month. I think of raising the limit to 32. What do you think?

 |
| Jeremain Lens's development so far. His great career picked up 2010 when he joined PSV Eindhoven. This summer he switched to Kiev a move that increased his Goalimpact by 4 points last month. |
 |
| Willian went a long way towards world-class as Shaktar Donetsk. He failed to improve further after his move to Anzhi Makhachkala beginning of this year, but his development pickup again since he plays for Chelsea. His new club never had a negative goal difference so far with him on the field. |
 |
| Yaroslav Rakitskiy plays as center-back for Donetsk since his youth. If it needed yet another prove that Donetsk is developing their players outstandingly, here it is. |
