Rúben Vinagre

Vinagre's 2019/20 season, read from the numbers

In 2019/20, Rúben Vinagre was used in rotation for Wolves in the Premier League: 16 appearances and 658 minutes, averaging 41 minutes per outing. Per 90 minutes that is 0.5 key passes per 90 and 4.7 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Vinagre's totals.

Vinagre played 242 passes — 33.1 per 90, which is the volume that decides whether a side builds through him or around him. Carrying the ball, Vinagre attempted 44 dribbles and completed 45% — 6.0 attempts per 90.

Our records cover 5 seasons of Vinagre's career, 2018/19 to 2023/24, across 6 clubs — Wolves, Olympiakos Piraeus, Famalicao, Everton and others. In that time he has played 100 matches across 8 competitions, 5,388 minutes in all. His best return was 3 assists in 2020/21, 3 more than he has managed this time.

Treat these rates carefully. At 658 minutes — roughly 7 full matches — Vinagre is 242 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.
