Full Back · Crystal Palace · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
A career still climbing — Richards is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 2 clubs, including a move abroad — 158 appearances with 7 goal contributions from defence.
His best campaign on record is 2025/26 at Crystal Palace — Season rating 51, 1 goal and 0 assists in 33 games. 2023/24 was the leap — Season rating up 26 points at Crystal Palace. Form is on a climb — up 19 Season points across his last 3 full seasons.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±17 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart.
