M. Tavernier

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

In 2026/27, M. Tavernier was used in rotation for Bournemouth in the Premier League: 5 appearances and 427 minutes, averaging 85 minutes per outing. He grades out best for match rating — 337th of 978 midfielders and inside the top 34%.

Per 90 minutes that is 1.9 key passes per 90, 0.0 assists per 90 and 2.3 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Tavernier's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against midfielders, Tavernier sits in the top 4% for chance creation but only the top 37% for shot conversion.

Set against Tavernier's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he has managed 7 in a season before, so 3 is well short of his own mark; he is playing far less than he once did — 529 minutes against 4267 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 6.84 to 7.35 since 2025/26. Our records cover 5 seasons of Tavernier's career, 2022/23 to 2026/27, all of it at Bournemouth. In that time he has played 132 matches across 5 competitions, 9,559 minutes in all.

His best return on our records was 5 assists in 2024/25, from 31 appearances. He is 7 appearances into the current one. On our positional score Tavernier rates 21 out of 100, 197th of 326 qualified players — inside the top 61%. Relative to what each component is worth, his strongest is goalscoring rate.

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.
