K. Ajer

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

In 2026/27, K. Ajer was used in rotation for Brentford in the Premier League: 5 appearances and 450 minutes, averaging 90 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 573rd of 905 defenders and inside the top 63%.

Per 90 minutes that is 0.8 tackles per 90, 1.4 interceptions per 90 and 58% of his duels won — the rate profile behind Ajer's totals. Ajer played 206 passes at 81% accuracy — 41.2 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 defenders, Ajer sits in the top 20% for assists but only the top 49% for chance creation. Set against Ajer's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 1773 minutes against 4834 at his peak.

Our records cover 6 seasons of Ajer's career, 2021/22 to 2026/27, across 2 clubs — Brentford, Norway. In that time he has played 138 matches across 5 competitions, 9,700 minutes in all. By average match rating this is the strongest season we hold for him, 6.90.

Away from his club, Ajer has 21 appearances for Norway on our records — across UEFA Nations League, Euro Championship - Qualification and World Cup - Qualification Europe. Treat these rates carefully. At 450 minutes — roughly 5 full matches — Ajer is 450 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.
