Season by season

2026-27 against his past seasons · per 90 minutes

How this season compares with the ones before it. 2026-27 is drawn dashed — it is only 3 appearances old.

Past seasons are the totals the FPL API records for him league-wide: it does not say which club a season was played at, so a line can cross clubs, and a season spent outside the Premier League leaves a gap rather than a bridged line. Expected goals and assists begin in 2022-23; before that the API published none, so those seasons are blank rather than zero. Minutes per club match is minutes over 38 for a past season.

▲ +4.3 trend

Playing time = minutes ÷ the club's matches played, so a starter reads near 90 and a substitute reads his true share. 2026-27: 3 club matches so far. 2025-26: minutes over 38 matches for any Premier League club — the FPL API does not attribute a past season to a club, so a player who moved is measured at his previous club. The trend needs 450+ minutes last season and 90+ this season.

Defensive contribution is the Fantasy Premier League's composite of ball-winning actions: for defenders, clearances + blocks + interceptions + tackles; for midfielders and forwards, the same plus ball recoveries. Tackles, recoveries and clearances-blocks-interceptions are this-season counts only: the API's past-season totals carry just the composite, so no trend is available for those three.

Where the numbers come from. Every figure on this page is read from the official Fantasy Premier League API (bootstrap-static for season totals, element-summary/32/ for the gameweek log and previous seasons). Nothing is estimated or hand-entered; a blank reads "—". Per-90 rates are the total × 90 ÷ minutes. "Points" are FPL fantasy points, the game's own scoring. Expected goals (xG), expected assists (xA) and expected goals conceded (xGC) are the values the FPL API publishes. Minutes per club match = minutes ÷ the club's matches played (this season from the club bundle; last season over 38 matches, any club). Defensive contribution is the FPL composite described above; tackles, recoveries and CBI are this-season counts with no trend.
