R. Lukaku

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

In 2026/27, R. Lukaku saw limited action for Fenerbahçe in the Süper Lig: 5 appearances and 158 minutes, averaging 32 minutes per outing. Across our top-five-league attackers pool, the number that flatters him most is match rating — 369th of 702 attackers and inside the top 53%.

The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against top-five-league attackers, Lukaku sits in the top 48% for shot conversion but only the top 95% for tackling volume. Set against Lukaku's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he has managed 24 in a season before, so 5 is well short of his own mark; he is playing far less than he once did — 510 minutes against 2984 at his peak.

Our records cover 11 seasons of Lukaku's career, 2015/16 to 2025/26, across 7 clubs — Everton, Belgium, Manchester United, Inter and others. In that time he has played 494 matches across 11 competitions, 36,303 minutes in all. His best return on our records was 34 goals in 2019/20, from 51 appearances. The current campaign has yet to give him a run.

Lukaku has 69 appearances in UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League on our records, and he is modestly more productive in Europe - 0.56 per 90 domestically against 0.73 in Europe. Lukaku has reached 15 goals in a season 9 times, between 2015/16 and 2023/24 — a level held rather than found once.

Away from his club, Lukaku has 56 appearances for Belgium on our records, scoring 57 — across Euro Championship, World Cup and World Cup - Qualification Europe.

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.
