M. Damsgaard

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

In 2026/27, M. Damsgaard saw limited action for Brentford in the Premier League: 5 appearances and 286 minutes, averaging 57 minutes per outing. He grades out best for match rating — 143rd of 978 midfielders and inside the top 15%.

Per 90 minutes that is 2.2 key passes per 90, 0.0 assists per 90 and 3.1 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Damsgaard's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against midfielders, Damsgaard sits in the top 8% for chance creation but only the top 39% for shot conversion.

Set against Damsgaard's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he has managed 10 in a season before, so 3 is well short of his own mark; he is playing far less than he once did — 720 minutes against 3077 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 7.01 to 7.52 since 2025/26.
