Vanderson

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

In 2026/27, Vanderson was used in rotation for Monaco in the Ligue 1: 5 appearances and 411 minutes, averaging 82 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 385th of 905 defenders and inside the top 43%.

Per 90 minutes that is 3.9 tackles per 90, 2.0 interceptions per 90 and 63% of his duels won — the rate profile behind Vanderson's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against defenders, Vanderson sits in the top 19% for assists but only the top 96% for shot conversion.

Set against Vanderson's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 1052 minutes against 2218 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 6.80 to 7.00 since 2025/26. Our records cover 6 seasons of Vanderson's career, 2021/22 to 2026/27, across 2 clubs — Gremio, Monaco. In that time he has played 210 matches across 12 competitions, 14,799 minutes in all.

His best season on our records was 2023/24, when he averaged 7.07 across 24 appearances. Away from his club, Vanderson has 6 appearances for Brazil on our records — across World Cup - Qualification South America.

Treat these rates carefully. At 411 minutes — roughly 5 full matches — Vanderson is 489 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.
