O. El Hilali

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

In 2026/27, O. El Hilali was used in rotation for Espanyol in the La Liga: 6 appearances and 525 minutes, averaging 88 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 474th of 905 defenders and inside the top 52%.

Per 90 minutes that is 2.2 tackles per 90, 1.0 interceptions per 90 and 54% of his duels won — the rate profile behind Hilali's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against defenders, Hilali sits in the top 2% for tackling volume but only the top 76% for shot conversion.

Set against Hilali's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 525 minutes against 3240 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 6.73 to 7.22 since 2025/26. Discipline is part of the picture for Hilali: 1 booking in 6 appearances, one every 6.0 games and 1 red card.

Our records cover 4 seasons of Hilali's career, 2022/23 to 2026/27, all of it at Espanyol. In that time he has played 117 matches across 2 competitions, 6,808 minutes in all. By average match rating this is the strongest season we hold for him, 7.22.

Treat these rates carefully. At 525 minutes — roughly 6 full matches — Hilali is 375 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.
