M. Kerkez

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

In 2026/27, M. Kerkez was used in rotation for Liverpool in the Premier League: 5 appearances and 386 minutes, averaging 77 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 633rd of 905 defenders and inside the top 70%.

Per 90 minutes that is 1.9 tackles per 90, 0.5 interceptions per 90 and 45% of his duels won — the rate profile behind Kerkez's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against defenders, Kerkez sits in the top 6% for chance creation but only the top 50% for shot conversion.

Set against Kerkez's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 1081 minutes against 4335 at his peak. Our records cover 4 seasons of Kerkez's career, 2023/24 to 2026/27, across 2 clubs — Bournemouth, Liverpool. In that time he has played 136 matches across 5 competitions, 10,004 minutes in all.

His best season on our records was 2024/25, when he averaged 7.02 across 45 appearances. Away from his club, Kerkez has 24 appearances for Hungary on our records — across Euro Championship - Qualification, World Cup - Qualification Europe and Euro Championship.

Treat these rates carefully. At 386 minutes — roughly 4 full matches — Kerkez is 514 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.
