Karničnik's 2025/26 season, read from the numbers
In 2025/26, Ž. Karničnik was used in rotation for Celje in the UEFA Europa Conference League: 8 appearances and 623 minutes, averaging 78 minutes per outing. Per 90 minutes that is 0.9 key passes per 90, 0.0 assists per 90 and 2.9 ball recoveries per 90 — the rate profile behind Karničnik's totals.
Karničnik played 470 passes at 92% accuracy — 67.9 per 90, which is the volume that decides whether a side builds through him or around him. Set against Karničnik's own record, 2025/26 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 1174 minutes against 4497 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 4.19 to 7.03 since 2024/25.
Treat these rates carefully. At 623 minutes — roughly 7 full matches — Karničnik is 277 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.
