João Pedro

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

In 2026/27, João Pedro was used in rotation for Chelsea in the Premier League: 4 appearances and 360 minutes, averaging 90 minutes per outing. His standout number is match rating — 43rd of 702 attackers and inside the top 6%.

Per 90 minutes that is 0.8 goals per 90, 2.0 shots per 90 and 50% of his shots on target — the rate profile behind Pedro's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against attackers, Pedro sits in the top 2% for goalscoring but only the top 34% for shot conversion.

Set against Pedro's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he has managed 15 in a season before, so 3 is well short of his own mark; he is playing far less than he once did — 673 minutes against 2916 at his peak. Our records cover 6 seasons of Pedro's career, 2019/20 to 2026/27, across 4 clubs — Fluminense, Watford, Brighton, Chelsea. In that time he has played 259 matches across 11 competitions, 17,210 minutes in all.

His best return on our records was 30 goals in 2023/24, from 74 appearances. He is 5 appearances into the current one. Pedro has 14 appearances in UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League on our records, and the gap is real: he is roughly 2.0 times more productive in Europe, 0.42 per 90 domestically against 0.83 in Europe.

Pedro has reached 15 goals in a season 3 times, between 2023/24 and 2025/26 — a level held rather than found once. Away from his club, Pedro has 5 appearances for Brazil on our records — across World Cup - Qualification South America.

On our positional score Pedro rates 53 out of 100, 29th of 126 qualified players — inside the top 24%. Relative to what each component is worth, his strongest is shot conversion.

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.
