A. Gordon

Gordon's 2026/27 season, read from the numbers

In 2026/27, A. Gordon was used in rotation for Barcelona in the La Liga: 6 appearances and 397 minutes, averaging 66 minutes per outing. Per 90 minutes that is 0.0 goals per 90, 2.3 shots per 90 and 40% of his shots on target — the rate profile behind Gordon's totals.

Set against Gordon's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he has managed 11 in a season before, so 4 is well short of his own mark; he is playing far less than he once did — 1190 minutes against 2900 at his peak; his average match rating has slipped from 7.08 to 6.74 since 2025/26. Our records cover 9 seasons of Gordon's career, 2017/18 to 2026/27, across 5 clubs — Everton, Preston, Newcastle, Barcelona and others. In that time he has played 250 matches across 9 competitions, 15,836 minutes in all.

His best return on our records was 17 goals in 2025/26, from 45 appearances. He is 8 appearances into the current one. Gordon has 20 appearances in UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League on our records, and the gap is real: he is roughly 3.1 times more productive in Europe, 0.23 per 90 domestically against 0.73 in Europe.

He has reached 15 goals in a season once, in 2025/26. Away from his club, Gordon has 17 appearances for England on our records, scoring 4 — across World Cup - Qualification Europe, Euro Championship and UEFA Nations League.

Treat these rates carefully. At 397 minutes — roughly 4 full matches — Gordon is 503 short of our 900-minute qualifying floor, so he does not appear on the ranking boards: on a sample this size two good afternoons move a per-90 number further than a month of steady form.

How these scores are built, and the minutes and rating floors a player must clear to appear on our boards, are set out in our methodology.
