M. Stępiński

Stępiński's 2019/20 season, read from the numbers

In 2019/20, M. Stępiński was used in rotation for Hellas Verona in the Serie A: 12 appearances and 508 minutes, averaging 42 minutes per outing. Per 90 minutes that is 0.4 goals per 90, 2.5 shots per 90 and 50% of his shots on target — the rate profile behind Stępiński's totals.

Set against Stępiński's own record, 2019/20 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 508 minutes against 2477 at his peak; his average match rating has slipped from 6.67 to 6.40 since 2018/19. Discipline is part of the picture for Stępiński: 1 booking in 12 appearances, one every 12.0 games and 1 red card.

Our records cover 6 seasons of Stępiński's career, 2016/17 to 2022/23, across 6 clubs — Nantes, Ruch Chorzów, Chievo, Hellas Verona and others. In that time he has played 169 matches across 9 competitions, 8,940 minutes in all. His best return on our records was 10 goals in 2016/17, from 31 appearances. He is 15 appearances into the current one.

Treat these rates carefully. At 508 minutes — roughly 6 full matches — Stępiński is 392 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.
