Q. Timber

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

In 2026/27, Q. Timber saw limited action for Crystal Palace in the Premier League: 3 appearances and 254 minutes, averaging 85 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 635th of 978 midfielders and inside the top 65%.

Per 90 minutes that is 0.7 key passes per 90, 0.0 assists per 90 and 4.6 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Timber's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against midfielders, Timber sits in the top 33% for tackling volume but only the top 95% for assists.

Set against Timber's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 711 minutes against 3967 at his peak. Our records cover 2 seasons of Timber's career, 2025/26 to 2026/27, across 3 clubs — Feyenoord, Marseille, Crystal Palace. In that time he has played 46 matches across 8 competitions, 3,398 minutes in all.

This is barely a sample: 254 minutes is about 3 full matches, and 646 short of the 900-minute floor our boards require. Every rate above should be read as a hint rather than a finding.

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.
