Renato Veiga

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

In 2026/27, Renato Veiga was used in rotation for Villarreal in the La Liga: 7 appearances and 630 minutes, averaging 90 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 457th of 905 defenders and inside the top 50%.

Per 90 minutes that is 0.3 tackles per 90, 1.4 interceptions per 90 and 42% of his duels won — the rate profile behind Veiga's totals. Veiga played 600 passes at 92% accuracy — 85.7 per 90, which is the volume that decides whether a side builds through him or around him.

The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against defenders, Veiga sits in the top 19% for shot conversion but only the top 58% for chance creation. Set against Veiga's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: his average match rating has risen from 6.74 to 6.94 since 2025/26.

Our records cover 5 seasons of Veiga's career, 2022/23 to 2026/27, across 5 clubs — FC Augsburg, FC Basel 1893, Juventus, Chelsea and others. In that time he has played 118 matches across 10 competitions, 8,901 minutes in all. His best season on our records was 2024/25, when he averaged 7.25 across 33 appearances.

Away from his club, Veiga has 14 appearances for Portugal on our records — across World Cup - Qualification Europe, UEFA Nations League and World Cup. Treat these rates carefully. At 630 minutes — roughly 7 full matches — Veiga is 270 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.
