Konstantin Tyukavin is the only one Dynamo football player who took part in all 36 matches of the season. Last time, Dmitry Kombarov managed to do this in 2008 having played 32 games.

If we talk about playing minutes, Daniil Fomin (2962 minutes), Arsen Zakharyan (2913) and Fabián Balbuena (2910) became the most irreplaceable footballers.

Fomin becomes the team's top scorer for the second consecutive year having scored 12 goals (the best result in his career). Arsen Zakharyan and Tyukavin recorded 9 goals each, while Vyacheslav Grulev added 8.

Zakharyan (83 shots / 33 on goal), Denis Makarov (68/26) and Fomin (62/27) were the three most striking players of the white-blue team.

Arsen leads the team in passes into the final third (28 accurate attempts out of 60), corner kicks (57 accurate attempts out of 104) and participation in goalscoring attacks (28 that is 41% of the total number).
