D. Bakola

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

In 2026/27, D. Bakola saw limited action for Sassuolo in the Serie A: 4 appearances and 297 minutes, averaging 74 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 458th of 978 midfielders and inside the top 47%.

Per 90 minutes that is 1.8 key passes per 90, 0.3 assists per 90 and 4.5 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Bakola's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against midfielders, Bakola sits in the top 32% for shot conversion but only the top 86% for goalscoring.

Set against Bakola's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: it is also the heaviest workload we have recorded for him, 397 minutes against a previous high of 90; his average match rating has risen from 6.47 to 7.30 since 2025/26. Our records cover 3 seasons of Bakola's career, 2024/25 to 2026/27, across 2 clubs — Marseille, Sassuolo. In that time he has played 34 matches across 5 competitions, 727 minutes in all.

Treat these rates carefully. At 297 minutes — roughly 3 full matches — Bakola is 603 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.
