Performance profile
Recorded output against the 2026 field. These are statistical comparisons, not an editorial ability score or transfer valuation.

Historical appearances and edition counts: © 2023 Joshua C. Fjelstul, Ph.D. CC BY-SA 4.0. Adapted by grouping appearances and linking match IDs. Methodology and coverage
Every 2026 figure here comes from completed match reports: goals, assists, shots, fouls, cards and team sheets. Minutes played are reconstructed from the substitution record for each match.
The loaded 2026 reports do not include per-player passes, tackles, interceptions, expected goals or event coordinates — the advanced analytics tab is StatsBomb event data for 2018 and 2022 and is labelled as such. Club-season estimates and editorial scouting ratings are never shown. How this data is compiled.
