GOALS
One man stands apart from the rest as Europe's deadliest goalscorer in this qualifying campaign with Robert Lewandowski's total of 13 goals putting him four clear of his nearest rival.
The Poland striker netted six times against Gibraltar but there was also a four-minute hat-trick against Georgia too.
Lewandowski netted away in Germany, scored a stoppage-time equaliser against Scotland, and fittingly scored the winner against Republic of Ireland to confirm Poland's qualification.
ASSISTS
It's another Poland international topping the assist charts with Ajax forward Arkadiusz Milik helping to set up six of his team's goals during qualifying.
Milik scored and assisted goals both home and away against Georgia and also provided the through-ball for Lewandowski's opening goal against Scotland last week.
He was joined as the top assist provider in European Qualifiers by two players. Slovakia's Vladimir Weiss reached six on Monday when the Qatar-based winger set up three goals in a 4-2 win over Luxembourg, and Israel's Eran Zahavi also notched his sixth assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Andorra.
PASSES
There was no debate regarding who was the continent's pass master in the European Qualifiers with Germany's Toni Kroos out on his own at the top.
The Real Madrid midfielder completed an amazing 1034 passes in total - well clear of the 750 successful passes of his nearest rival Sergio Busquets of Spain.
CHANCES
Kroos fashioned 31 chances from his passes but that wasn't quite enough to make him the most creative player in the European Qualifiers. That accolade went to Kevin De Bruyne.
The Belgium midfielder played 37 key passes during his country's qualifying campaign and was no flat-track bully - 15 of these chances were created against Wales and Bosnia. Croatia's Ivan Rakitic ranked second with 35, while Switzerland's Xherdan Shaqiri was just ahead of Kroos on 32.
CLEAN SHEETS
There were three goalkeepers who kept seven clean sheets during the European Qualifiers with England's Joe Hart, Wales' Wayne Hennessey and Romania's Ciprian Tatarusanu sharing the honour.
Hart was denied the chance for the outright lead when he was rested so that Jack Butland could feature in the 3-0 win over Lithuania.
