Danilo Veiga

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

In 2026/27, Danilo Veiga was used in rotation for Lecce in the Serie A: 5 appearances and 450 minutes, averaging 90 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 456th of 905 defenders and inside the top 50%.

Per 90 minutes that is 3.0 tackles per 90, 0.8 interceptions per 90 and 47% of his duels won — the rate profile behind Veiga's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against defenders, Veiga sits in the top 1% for tackling volume but only the top 77% for goalscoring.

Set against Veiga's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 540 minutes against 3022 at his peak. Our records cover 3 seasons of Veiga's career, 2024/25 to 2026/27, across 2 clubs — Lecce, Estrela. In that time he has played 71 matches across 3 competitions, 5,254 minutes in all.

His best season on our records was 2024/25, when he averaged 6.75 across 28 appearances. Treat these rates carefully. At 450 minutes — roughly 5 full matches — Veiga 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.
