V. Castellanos

Castellanos's 2025/26 season, read from the numbers

In 2025/26, V. Castellanos moved in and out of the side for West Ham in the Premier League: 18 appearances and 1395 minutes, averaging 78 minutes per outing. He grades out best for match rating — 101st of 702 attackers and inside the top 14%.

Per 90 minutes that is 0.4 goals per 90, 2.7 shots per 90 and 52% of his shots on target — the rate profile behind Castellanos's totals. Castellanos played 250 passes at 64% accuracy — 16.1 per 90, which is the volume that decides whether a side builds through him or around him.

Set against Castellanos's own record, 2025/26 reads differently: he has managed 13 in a season before, so 6 is well short of his own mark; he is playing far less than he once did — 1395 minutes against 2617 at his peak; his average match rating has slipped from 7.21 to 6.73 since 2024/25. Discipline is part of the picture for Castellanos: 6 bookings in 18 appearances, one every 3.0 games.
