Key: (N) = New player; (TI) = Transfer In; (TO) = Transferred Out after this season; (L) = last season in MQL (to date); (B) = player took a Break after this season; (R) = player Returned this season after a break

Please note: except in the 1988–9 season, the Average column gives the average score for the games that counted towards the season's total – i.e. 12 games in a league of nine teams, 11 games in a league of eight, and so on. The number of games that counted is given in the Counting column. In 1988–9, the Average is the average score for all games (because the figures are for the half–way stage of the season).
