J. Karlström

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

In 2026/27, J. Karlström was used in rotation for Udinese in the Serie A: 5 appearances and 450 minutes, averaging 90 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 406th of 978 midfielders and inside the top 42%.

Per 90 minutes that is 0.8 key passes per 90, 0.0 assists per 90 and 2.4 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Karlström's totals. Karlström played 223 passes at 82% accuracy — 44.6 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, Karlström sits in the top 12% for tackling volume but only the top 87% for assists. Set against Karlström's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 914 minutes against 4225 at his peak; his average match rating has slipped from 6.80 to 6.50 since 2025/26.
