L. Horníček

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

In 2026/27, L. Horníček was used in rotation for Newcastle in the Premier League: 5 appearances and 450 minutes, averaging 90 minutes per outing. Per 90 minutes that is 3.8 saves per 90, 0.8 goals conceded per 90 and a 83% save rate — the rate profile behind Horníček's totals.

Set against Horníček's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 630 minutes against 4310 at his peak; his average match rating has slipped from 6.93 to 6.58 since 2025/26. Treat these rates carefully. At 450 minutes — roughly 5 full matches — Horníček 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.
