N. Adjei

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

In 2026/27, N. Adjei was used in rotation for Lorient in the Ligue 1: 5 appearances and 435 minutes, averaging 87 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 681st of 905 defenders and inside the top 75%.

Per 90 minutes that is 1.7 tackles per 90, 2.5 interceptions per 90 and 69% of his duels won — the rate profile behind Adjei's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against defenders, Adjei sits in the top 24% for shot conversion but only the top 91% for assists.

Set against Adjei's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 524 minutes against 1853 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 6.60 to 7.14 since 2025/26. Our records cover 3 seasons of Adjei's career, 2023/24 to 2026/27, across 3 clubs — Hammarby FF, Lorient, Ghana. In that time he has played 63 matches across 6 competitions, 4,483 minutes in all.

By average match rating this is the strongest season we hold for him, 7.25. Treat these rates carefully. At 435 minutes — roughly 5 full matches — Adjei is 465 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.
