Anthony's 2025/26 season, read from the numbers

In 2025/26, J. Anthony was close to ever-present for Burnley in the Premier League: 37 appearances and 2743 minutes, averaging 74 minutes per outing. Per 90 minutes that is 1.2 key passes per 90, 0.1 assists per 90 and 1.9 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Anthony's totals.

Anthony played 896 passes at 79% accuracy — 29.4 per 90, which is the volume that decides whether a side builds through him or around him. Carrying the ball, Anthony attempted 100 dribbles and completed 35% — 3.3 attempts per 90.

Set against Anthony's own record, 2025/26 reads differently: his 8 goals beats anything in the 3 earlier seasons we hold for him (best before: 3); it is also the heaviest workload we have recorded for him, 2743 minutes against a previous high of 1245; his average match rating has risen from 6.33 to 6.78 since 2023/24. Discipline is part of the picture for Anthony: 4 bookings in 37 appearances, one every 9.3 games.
