Jordan Anthony James
Defensive · Leicester · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
A career still climbing — James is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
The record covers 5 seasons (2021/22–2025/26) across 3 clubs, including a move abroad — 160 appearances, 20 goals and 7 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2025/26 at Leicester — Season rating 51, 11 goals and 4 assists in 34 games. 2025/26 was the leap — Season rating up 34 points at Leicester. Form is on a climb — up 12 Season points across his last 3 full seasons.
2025/26 was disrupted — 7 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±17 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2024/25 (Ligue 1) and kept playing — 31 games that season.
