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

In 2026/27, N. Mukiele was used in rotation for Sunderland in the Premier League: 4 appearances and 360 minutes, averaging 90 minutes per outing. He grades out best for match rating — 162nd of 905 defenders and inside the top 18%.

Per 90 minutes that is 3.3 tackles per 90, 1.5 interceptions per 90 and 55% of his duels won — the rate profile behind Mukiele's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against defenders, Mukiele sits in the top 3% for goalscoring but only the top 54% for shot conversion.

Set against Mukiele's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 450 minutes against 2800 at his peak. Our records cover 11 seasons of Mukiele's career, 2016/17 to 2026/27, across 6 clubs — Montpellier, Laval, RB Leipzig, Paris Saint Germain and others. In that time he has played 345 matches across 11 competitions, 23,728 minutes in all.

His best season on our records was 2017/18, when he averaged 7.24 across 39 appearances. Mukiele has 46 appearances in UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League on our records, and he is modestly more productive in Europe - 0.06 per 90 domestically against 0.09 in Europe.

On our positional score Mukiele rates 36 out of 100, 136th of 304 qualified players — inside the top 45%. Relative to what each component is worth, his strongest is interceptions.

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.
