R. Christie

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

In 2026/27, R. Christie saw limited action for Bournemouth in the Premier League: 4 appearances and 108 minutes, averaging 27 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 537th of 978 midfielders and inside the top 55%.

The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against midfielders, Christie sits in the top 22% for shot conversion but only the top 55% for assists. Set against Christie's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he has managed 21 in a season before, so 4 is well short of his own mark; he is playing far less than he once did — 582 minutes against 4769 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 6.72 to 6.96 since 2025/26.

Our records cover 5 seasons of Christie's career, 2022/23 to 2026/27, all of it at Bournemouth. In that time he has played 145 matches across 5 competitions, 9,157 minutes in all. His best return on our records was 5 assists in 2023/24, from 43 appearances. He is 6 appearances into the current one.

Away from his club, Christie has 31 appearances for Scotland on our records, scoring 4 — across UEFA Nations League, Euro Championship - Qualification and World Cup - Qualification Europe. This is barely a sample: 108 minutes is about 1 full match, and 792 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.
