Last 5 games — every market the model rates

The bars are what he actually did. The percentage is what the model expects next time if he starts — it is built from his season rate, weighted toward the positional average when that rate rests on few minutes, so it will not simply echo a five-game run.

Last season’s numbers. The Saudi Pro League has moved on to a new campaign and Costa has not played enough of it yet to stand on his own figures, so the season below is 2025/26 — the last one he completed.

Rank compares him with the midfielders in the Saudi Pro League 2025/2026 who have played at least 450 minutes (140 players), on a per-90 basis so minutes do not decide it. A full bar is always the better end — fewer goals conceded fills it, more big chances missed empties it.

Every figure above is counted match data for the 2025/26 Saudi Pro League season, not a projection. FotMob applies a minutes qualifier to its per-90 tables, so a stat absent here is one the season does not yet support for Costa rather than a zero. Club form and fixture forecasts are on the Al-Ettifaq page.
