Daniel Kelly has been a striking outlier for his midfield role in the Premier Division during the 2026/27 season, recording six goals in 24 appearances and 1519 minutes, a rate of 0.36 goals per 90 minutes compared with the midfield baseline of 0.12. His 15 shots, 8 on target, give a 40% conversion rate that is well above the league average for his position. Kelly’s 12 key passes (0.71 per 90) fall short of the midfield benchmark of 1.27, yet his 29 tackles and 11 interceptions (1.72 tackles per 90) are close to the baseline of 1.77. He also completed 1.48 successful dribbles per 90, nearly double the midfield norm of 0.66. With an average match rating of 6.83, Kelly’s goal output remains the most notable deviation from typical midfield expectations.
Daniel Kelly has played 1,608 minutes across 25 appearances in Premier Division, scoring 0.34 goals per 90 against a positional baseline of 0.13, converting 30% of 20 shots and averaging 6.81 a match.
