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

In 2026/27, L. Ferguson was used in rotation for Bologna in the Serie A: 5 appearances and 456 minutes, averaging 91 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 519th of 978 midfielders and inside the top 53%.

Per 90 minutes that is 1.0 key passes per 90, 0.0 assists per 90 and 3.4 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Ferguson's totals. Ferguson played 432 passes at 92% accuracy — 85.3 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 midfielders, Ferguson sits in the top 38% for chance creation but only the top 86% for assists. Set against Ferguson's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 456 minutes against 2718 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 6.74 to 7.42 since 2025/26.

Our records cover 5 seasons of Ferguson's career, 2022/23 to 2026/27, all of it at Bologna. In that time he has played 153 matches across 5 competitions, 10,221 minutes in all. His best return on our records was 3 assists in 2023/24, from 33 appearances. He is 5 appearances into the current one.

Away from his club, Ferguson has 14 appearances for Scotland on our records — across UEFA Nations League, Euro Championship - Qualification and World Cup - Qualification Europe. Treat these rates carefully. At 456 minutes — roughly 5 full matches — Ferguson is 444 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.
