D. Calvert-Lewin

Calvert-Lewin's 2026/27 season, read from the numbers

In 2026/27, D. Calvert-Lewin was used in rotation for Leeds in the Premier League: 5 appearances and 421 minutes, averaging 84 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 253rd of 702 attackers and inside the top 36%.

Per 90 minutes that is 0.6 goals per 90, 1.9 shots per 90 and 78% of his shots on target — the rate profile behind Calvert-Lewin's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against attackers, Calvert-Lewin sits in the top 2% for goalscoring but only the top 38% for shot conversion.

Set against Calvert-Lewin's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he has managed 16 in a season before, so 4 is well short of his own mark; he is playing far less than he once did — 500 minutes against 2876 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 6.71 to 7.04 since 2025/26. Our records cover 11 seasons of Calvert-Lewin's career, 2016/17 to 2026/27, across 4 clubs — Everton, Sheffield Utd, England, Leeds. In that time he has played 322 matches across 5 competitions, 21,343 minutes in all.

His best return on our records was 21 goals in 2020/21, from 41 appearances. He is 7 appearances into the current one. Calvert-Lewin has reached 15 goals in a season 3 times, between 2019/20 and 2025/26 — a level held rather than found once.

Away from his club, Calvert-Lewin has 7 appearances for England on our records — across World Cup - Qualification Europe, Euro Championship and UEFA Nations League. Treat these rates carefully. At 421 minutes — roughly 5 full matches — Calvert-Lewin is 479 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.
