J. Strand Larsen

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

In 2026/27, J. Strand Larsen was used in rotation for Crystal Palace in the Premier League: 5 appearances and 301 minutes, averaging 60 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 635th of 702 attackers and inside the top 90%.

Per 90 minutes that is 0.3 goals per 90, 1.8 shots per 90 and 67% of his shots on target — the rate profile behind Larsen's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against attackers, Larsen sits in the top 31% for assists but only the top 58% for shot conversion.

Set against Larsen's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he has managed 22 in a season before, so 6 is well short of his own mark; he is playing far less than he once did — 779 minutes against 3782 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 6.37 to 7.02 since 2025/26. Our records cover 5 seasons of Larsen's career, 2022/23 to 2026/27, across 4 clubs — Celta Vigo, Groningen, Wolves, Crystal Palace. In that time he has played 171 matches across 8 competitions, 11,414 minutes in all.

His best return on our records was 14 goals in 2024/25, from 38 appearances. He is 7 appearances into the current one. Larsen has 9 appearances in UEFA Europa Conference League and UEFA Europa League on our records, and the level holds either way, 0.33 per 90 domestically against 0.33 in Europe.

Away from his club, Larsen has 18 appearances for Norway on our records — across UEFA Nations League, Euro Championship - Qualification and World Cup - Qualification Europe. Treat these rates carefully. At 301 minutes — roughly 3 full matches — Larsen is 599 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.
