D. O'Shea

O'Shea's 2026/27 season, read from the numbers

In 2026/27, D. O'Shea was used in rotation for Ipswich in the Premier League: 5 appearances and 450 minutes, averaging 90 minutes per outing. Per 90 minutes that is 1.4 tackles per 90, 1.2 interceptions per 90 and 63% of his duels won — the rate profile behind O'Shea's totals.

O'Shea played 202 passes at 73% accuracy — 40.4 per 90, which is the volume that decides whether a side builds through him or around him. Set against O'Shea's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 450 minutes against 3123 at his peak; his average match rating has slipped from 6.99 to 6.30 since 2024/25.

Our records cover 4 seasons of O'Shea's career, 2020/21 to 2026/27, across 3 clubs — West Brom, Burnley, Ipswich. In that time he has played 116 matches across 4 competitions, 9,509 minutes in all. His best season on our records was 2024/25, when he averaged 7.03 across 41 appearances.

Away from his club, O'Shea has 26 appearances for Rep. Of Ireland on our records — across World Cup - Qualification Europe, UEFA Nations League and Euro Championship - Qualification. Treat these rates carefully. At 450 minutes — roughly 5 full matches — O'Shea is 450 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.
