D. Arzani

Arzani's 2025/26 season, read from the numbers

In 2025/26, D. Arzani was used in rotation for Melbourne City in the A-League: 8 appearances and 553 minutes, averaging 69 minutes per outing. Per 90 minutes that is 0.2 goals per 90, 1.5 shots per 90 and 56% of his shots on target — the rate profile behind Arzani's totals.

Arzani played 256 passes at 81% accuracy — 41.7 per 90, which is the volume that decides whether a side builds through him or around him. Carrying the ball, Arzani attempted 37 dribbles and completed 54% — 6.0 attempts per 90.

Set against Arzani's own record, 2025/26 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 854 minutes against 2103 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 6.40 to 6.85 since 2024/25. Treat these rates carefully. At 553 minutes — roughly 6 full matches — Arzani is 347 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.
