Michael John Cooper
Goalkeeper · Sheffield Utd · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 2 clubs — 221 appearances with 0 goal contributions as a goalkeeper.
His best campaign on record is 2024/25 at Sheffield Utd — Season rating 79, 0 goals and 0 assists in 47 games. 2024/25 was the leap — Season rating up 68 points at Sheffield Utd. Output has held steady across his last 3 full seasons (11 → 15). The gap to his peak is 64 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 9 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±24 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2023/24 (Championship) and kept playing — 19 games that season.
