Brandt's 2026/27 season, read from the numbers
In 2026/27, J. Brandt was used in rotation for Ajax in the Eredivisie: 7 appearances and 441 minutes, averaging 63 minutes per outing. Across our top-five-league midfielders pool, his standout number is goals — 4, 51st of 978 midfielders and inside the top 5%.
Per 90 minutes that is 4.1 key passes per 90, 0.0 assists per 90 and 0.8 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Brandt's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against top-five-league midfielders, Brandt sits in the top 5% for goalscoring but only the top 59% for tackling volume.
Set against Brandt's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 677 minutes against 2674 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 6.99 to 7.30 since 2025/26. Our records cover 11 seasons of Brandt's career, 2015/16 to 2025/26, across 2 clubs — Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund. In that time he has played 473 matches across 5 competitions, 30,842 minutes in all.
His best return on our records was 15 assists in 2024/25, from 45 appearances. The current campaign has yet to give him a run. Brandt has 91 appearances in UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League on our records, and the gap is real: he is roughly 1.6 times more productive domestically, 0.27 per 90 domestically against 0.17 in Europe.
Brandt has reached 8 assists in a season 7 times, between 2016/17 and 2024/25 — a level held rather than found once. Away from his club, Brandt has 24 appearances for Germany on our records — across Confederations Cup, World Cup and World Cup - Qualification Europe.
Our ranking boards cover Europe's top five leagues rather than the competition above; on those, Brandt rates 26 out of 100, 115th of 326 qualified players — inside the top 36%. Relative to what each component is worth, his strongest is goalscoring rate.
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.
