Samuel Joseph Szmodics
Center Forward · Derby · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
The record covers 7 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 4 clubs — 208 appearances, 62 goals and 14 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2023/24 at Blackburn — Season rating 72, 27 goals and 4 assists in 44 games. 2023/24 was the leap — Season rating up 50 points at Blackburn. Form has slipped 51 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 51 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 10 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±20 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2021/22 (Championship) and kept playing — 36 games that season.
