Samba's 2026/27 season, read from the numbers
In 2026/27, B. Samba was used in rotation for Rennes in the Ligue 1: 4 appearances and 360 minutes, averaging 90 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 109th of 198 goalkeepers and inside the top 55%.
Per 90 minutes that is 3.8 saves per 90, 0.8 goals conceded per 90 and a 83% save rate — the rate profile behind Samba's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against goalkeepers, Samba sits in the top 9% for tackling volume but only the top 90% for assists.
Set against Samba's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 546 minutes against 4140 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 6.96 to 7.43 since 2025/26. Our records cover 8 seasons of Samba's career, 2015/16 to 2026/27, across 4 clubs — Nancy, Caen, Lens, Rennes. In that time he has played 242 matches across 7 competitions, 21,795 minutes in all.
By average match rating this is the strongest season we hold for him, 7.47. On our positional score Samba rates 33 out of 100, 71st of 99 qualified players — inside the top 72%. Relative to what each component is worth, his strongest is goals conceded.
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.
