We have looked into the age profile of Burnley’s players for the 2025-26 season and recorded what percentage of minutes each of them played last campaign.<\/p>\n
For the purpose of this exercise, we have deemed those under 24 as youth, between 24 and 30 as in their peak years and anyone over 30 to be a veteran.<\/p>\n
The green represents new signings, who naturally did not play, red are those that have since left the club and yellow are all those that remain.<\/p>\n
Burnley’s squad leaned towards the more youthful side last campaign, with the majority of their players in the youth or peak categories and just 30-year-old Josh Laurent the only regular to border the veteran category.<\/p>\n
Over the summer, the Clarets have lost key players in James Trafford, Josh Brownhill and CJ Egan-Riley, with a number departing from each of the age profiles.<\/p>\n
To offset, the Clarets have brought in a number of new faces, spread equally across the categories with two in the youth bracket, two in peak and two more experienced ones. As far as over-30s go, arrivals Kyle Walker (34) and Martin Dubravka (36) are doing all the lifting in terms of experience.<\/p>\n
