E. Ampadu

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

In 2026/27, E. Ampadu was used in rotation for Leeds in the Premier League: 5 appearances and 450 minutes, averaging 90 minutes per outing. His standout number is match rating — 70th of 978 midfielders and inside the top 7%.

Per 90 minutes that is 1.0 key passes per 90, 0.0 assists per 90 and 4.6 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Ampadu's totals. Ampadu played 222 passes at 82% accuracy — 44.4 per 90, which is the volume that decides whether a side builds through him or around him.

The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against midfielders, Ampadu sits in the top 2% for tackling volume but only the top 49% for shot conversion. Set against Ampadu's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 1106 minutes against 3273 at his peak; his average match rating has slipped from 7.15 to 6.76 since 2025/26.
