Backround: The aim of this paper is to determine the differences between the selected parameters of situational efficiency of the attackers of Hrvatski Telekom Prva liga. Given the identified differences, determine the contribution of an individual striker to the overall efficiency of his own team and the importance of the striker's efficiency for achieving a better placement of his team in the table. Methods: Using appropriate parametric (T-test, ANOVA) and non-parametric (Mann-Whitney U Test) methods, differences in the situational efficiency of the selected 20 attackers of Hrvatski Telekom Prva liga in 18 variables were determined with regard to the position of the club they play for after 18 rounds of autumn part of the championship and depending on whether the player is a Croat or a foreigner. Results: The results of the T-test did not show a statistically significant difference between domestic and foreign attackers. The attackers of the five first-placed teams are statistically significantly better in the variables the number of assists per goal (p = 0.01), shots per goal per game (p = 0.04), the number of created opportunities per game (p = 0.00) and the number key passes per game (p = 0.00) from the attackers of the five second-placed teams. There is a statistically significant difference between the groups Europa, Sredina and Začelje, created by the placement of clubs on the table at the end of the autumn part of the championship, in the variable number of opportunities created per game (Europa - Sredina p = 0, 01, Europa - Začelje p = 0.01), while there is no statistically significant difference between the groups Sredina and Začelje (p = 1.00). Conclusion: The efficiency of the attacker in the selected parameters of situational efficiency directly affects the difference in the placement of a particular team and attackers have an important role in achieving the placement of an individual club to a place that brings playing in the qualifications of European competitions.
