Those 7 goals also includes one in an unofficial game right? If I count right, he had according to the links you posted 6 FKs in official games, 12 PKs in official games and 52 goals in total for Brazil (72 games). [I always thought he had 11 PK goals for Brazil but it seems I was wrong] http://www.ziconarede.com.br/znrpub/variedade/cadgols/iglista_jogos.php?OP=46 The unnoficial FK is the one in 1978 against Carioca selection. http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/zico-intlg.html
I believe so. Of all the thread, he was the one who I didn't research, just published. I am to review the numbers Zico, all ... to see which goals are official. I found only 2 PK, including posted some pages ago. FK not know yet...

PuckVanHeel, I see informations about all the goals from Pelé in Brazil NT between 1964-1971. The result? 5 FKs, all in friendlies: 06/06/1965 Brasil 2 x 0 Alemanha Oc. 17/06/1965 Brasil 3 x 0 Algéria 03/11/1968 Brasil 2 x 1 México 22/03/1970 Brasil 5 x 0 Chile 17/05/1970 Brasil 5 x 2 León + 2 FKs in World Cups: Brasil 2 x 0 Bulgária - 1966 Brasil 3 x 2 Romênia - 1970 Furthermore, I found more 2 PKs: 04/06/1966 Brasil 4 x 0 Peru 24/08/1969 Brasil 6 x 0 Venezuela I realized that in those years, Pelé was usually the main FK, but Edu, Rivelino and Tostao also had chances. In relation to PKs, Tostao charged many PKs (sometimes Jairzinho). I'll look for your FKs in Brazil between 1957-1964. At Santos will be difficult...
I'm still looking FKs many other players. The work is just beginning. My objetive is, here at a loooong time, gather complete information about best FKs of all time in a single post, document, or a new thread to serve as a source for all members who access the BigSoccer. I don't ask anyone to waste time looking for goals, but if anyone has valuable links (as Puck and Estel posted) of newspapers and websites, I am grateful. My knowledge is summarized to Brazil.
Digital Collection Folha de São Paulo and Jornal do Brasil (great newspapers in Brazil). I checked the date of the games and read the analyzes. In some games, I have seen videos on YouTube.
Great. That will make some claims about him at least more factually based (though football isn't a stat friendly sport IMO). As far as Brazil is concerned. I also know Pelé had between 25 and 30 assists for Brazil in the official games, the 92 caps officially recognized by FIFA. He also scored a mighty 77 goals of course in a 14 years career with NT. Was able to confirm 25 assists but miss info about two blowouts. Like to know how many of those goals were a free kick or penalty kick. 7 free kick goals in 92 caps is at least an impressive start.
Transcribed only FKs Pelé according to the newspapers, in portuguese: 06/06/1965 Brasil 2 x 0 Alemanha Oc. Cobrando falta da intermediária a falta que Ciello sofrera de Lorenz, Pelé atirou forte, com efeito e a bola envolve a barreira e chega as redes, pelo alto, do lado direito. 17/06/1965 Brasil 3 x 0 Algéria O gol surgiu de uma falta sofrida por Pelé, que ele próprio chutou. O goleiro Zerga tocou mas não deteve a bola, que foi ás redes. 03/11/1968 Brasil 2 x 1 México Houve uma falta na entrada da área e Pelé cobrando muito bem, mandou a bola por cima da barreira e ela entrou o angulo direito da meta de Calderon. 22/03/1970 Brasil 5 x 0 Chile Pelé atira a bola com força e visando à meia altura, o canto esquerdo do gol chileno. 17/05/1970 Brasil 5 x 2 León Gerson, Rivelino e Pelé prepararam-se para cobrar. Os dois primeiros correram, passaram por sobre a bola e foi Pelé quem realmente chutou. O goleiro mexicano, confuso, nem foi na bola. And I found two more PKs, both in the same game against Argentina on 16/04/1963, by Roca Cup. I'm still searching and try to make a detailed list of all the goals and assists from Pelé of Brazil NT (not just FKs and PKs).

I believe that these data are almost 100% correct... how I read on analyzes, there may be some exaggeration. But I believe that everything is correct. The criteria for assists are rigorous and assists to equal the journals, magazines, etc...
OK, there are some minor differences with what I had already gathered but between 25 and 30 (more likely around 30; had already confirmed 25) seems to be correct. Sources will always vary a bit in that respect and also depends on what one sees as assist (in some instances I know cases where a rebound-goal is even seen as an assist). Good to see the missing ones. Thanks for the PK and FK info too. EDIT: looked again. I'm certain about 25 but missed (100% reliable/double-checked) info about a couple of games so thought about around 30 assists indeed.
Not valid cases like assists... if I validate, Pele would +10 assists in the account. Valid: - Pelé make a cross and striker head the ball into the net - Pelé make a pass and striker kicks the ball in the net (or striker driblles defenders and kick) = assist = decisive pass
Agree with you but will give a specific example of a source/publication who rules otherwise. Here a rebound-goal is ruled as an assist - the shot leading to the rebound is an assist. http://www.fussballdaten.de/bundesliga/1972/34/bmuenchen-schalke/ [the 4:1 of Hoeness] [4:1 of Hoeness is on 1:22] http://www.fussballdaten.de/ Was once curious about how many assists Müller, Beckenbauer, Schuster, Netzer had for NT and thought that this website would be a good help/assist but those see a rebound-goal also as assist. There are also other examples but this is a notable one because it was a (famous) title-winning game.
I've seen sites consider assists as: - Own goal - In free kick, the 1player make a little pass (straightens) for the 2player kicks like... Each site has its own criteria... is complicated. But the criteria that I consider correct are those I listed. - Puck, you have any list of goals Koeman in Groningen, Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord? Or FKs ... or video.
That will take a long while to investigate. I know that in his career high 1987/1988 season (21 goals) 6 of them were a PK. However, 2 of them were funnily acquired by himself (he was fouled). Saw that he was taken in the draft by someone.
