Summary

Manu Sanchez has already proven himself a goal-scoring threat from the back in the 2025/26 season. In just five appearances totalling 126 minutes he has netted one goal, giving him a goals-per-90 of 0.71 compared with the defender baseline of 0.04. His shooting record is equally impressive: two shots, both on target, for a shots-per-90 of 1.43 versus the baseline 0.45, and a conversion rate of 50%. While his defensive contributions - one tackle and one interception - are below the defensive averages of 1.63 tackles and 1.4 interceptions per 90, his offensive output far exceeds the typical defender profile. With a match-rating average of 6.42, Sanchez’s season so far highlights his unusual goal-scoring propensity for a defender.

Manu Sanchez has played 126 minutes across 5 appearances in Segunda División, scoring 0.71 goals per 90 against a positional baseline of 0.04, converting 50% of 2 shots and averaging 6.42 a match.

Per-player totals for 2025/26 from API-Football match stats, across 38 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.
