L. Coulibaly

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

In 2026/27, L. Coulibaly was used in rotation for Lecce in the Serie A: 5 appearances and 450 minutes, averaging 90 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 495th of 978 midfielders and inside the top 51%.

Per 90 minutes that is 1.0 key passes per 90, 0.2 assists per 90 and 2.0 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Coulibaly's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against midfielders, Coulibaly sits in the top 15% for tackling volume but only the top 57% for shot conversion.

Set against Coulibaly's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 538 minutes against 2901 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 6.75 to 7.20 since 2025/26. Our records cover 10 seasons of Coulibaly's career, 2015/16 to 2026/27, across 5 clubs — Bastia, Angers, Salernitana, Lecce and others. In that time he has played 319 matches across 6 competitions, 22,843 minutes in all.

His best return on our records was 6 assists in 2022/23, from 71 appearances. He is 6 appearances into the current one. Away from his club, Coulibaly has 18 appearances for Mali on our records — across Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup - Qualification Africa.

Treat these rates carefully. At 450 minutes — roughly 5 full matches — Coulibaly 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.
