Ajala's 2024/25 season, read from the numbers

In 2024/25, J. Ajala was used in rotation for West Ham United U18 in the U18 Premier League - Championship: 5 appearances and 379 minutes, averaging 76 minutes per outing. Set against Ajala's own record, 2024/25 reads differently: he has managed 17 in a season before, so 6 is well short of his own mark; his average match rating has risen from 0.01 to 1.29 since 2023/24.

Treat these rates carefully. At 379 minutes — roughly 4 full matches — Ajala is 521 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.
