Costa's 2026/27 season, read from the numbers
In 2026/27, David Pereira da Costa was a regular for Portland Timbers in the Major League Soccer: 23 appearances and 1904 minutes, averaging 83 minutes per outing. Per 90 minutes that is 1.9 key passes per 90, 0.3 assists per 90 and 1.4 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Costa's totals.
Costa played 1,034 passes at 90% accuracy — 48.9 per 90, which is the volume that decides whether a side builds through him or around him. Carrying the ball, Costa attempted 35 dribbles and completed 54% — 1.7 attempts per 90.
Set against Costa's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 2130 minutes against 4214 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 6.97 to 7.18 since 2025/26. Our records cover 5 seasons of Costa's career, 2020/21 to 2024/25, all of it at Lens. In that time he has played 166 matches across 5 competitions, 7,073 minutes in all.
His best return on our records was 5 assists in 2021/22, from 36 appearances. The current campaign has yet to give him a run.
