A. Koné

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

In 2026/27, A. Koné was used in rotation for NEOM in the Pro League: 7 appearances and 627 minutes, averaging 90 minutes per outing. Per 90 minutes that is 0.9 key passes per 90, 0.1 assists per 90 and 2.6 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Koné's totals.

Koné played 392 passes at 89% accuracy — 56.3 per 90, which is the volume that decides whether a side builds through him or around him. Set against Koné's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: his 4 goals beats anything in the 3 earlier seasons we hold for him (best before: 2); he is playing far less than he once did — 627 minutes against 4145 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 7.05 to 7.56 since 2025/26.

Our records cover 2 seasons of Koné's career, 2023/24 to 2024/25, all of it at Reims. In that time he has played 51 matches across 2 competitions, 2,161 minutes in all.

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.
