Summary

John Buckley made a single appearance in the 2025/26 League Cup, spending 18 minutes on the pitch. During that brief spell he did not record a goal, an assist, a tackle, an interception, a key pass, or a successful dribble, and he took one shot that missed the target. His goal-per-90 rate stands at 0.0, well below the baseline of 0.13, and his shots-per-90 of 5.0 are markedly higher than the league average of 0.96, indicating a willingness to shoot but a lack of finishing. With no key passes or defensive actions, his contribution in those areas is zero, again below the baseline figures of 1.19 key passes and 1.7 tackles per 90. His overall match rating of 6.9 reflects a modest performance in the limited time he was involved.

John Buckley has played 18 minutes across 1 appearance in League Cup, at 0.00 goals per 90 against a positional baseline of 0.13, converting 0% of 1 shots and averaging 6.90 a match.

Black tick is the positional baseline: the average midfielder in League Cup with 900+ minutes (3852 players). Amber is the league average across every outfield position, which is what shows a defender out-passing most midfielders. Green means better for that metric, which for fouls and goals conceded means fewer.

Per-player totals for 2025/26 from API-Football match stats, across 40 players. Click any column to sort. Goals/shot is conversion - goals divided by shots taken. Rating is API-Football's own 0-10 composite for each appearance, averaged here; it is their proprietary score, so treat it as a summary rather than an input. A blank from the provider means the player recorded none of that event, so it counts as zero. Form is 0-10: each appearance is scored as a per-90 composite of the stats that matter for that position, then the last 5 are compared with the player's own season baseline. 5 is their normal, green a hot run, red a cold one – it measures a player against themselves, not against the squad. Under 6 appearances shows a dash rather than a number off too small a sample.
