Yuri Alberto is still Timão's top scorer in 2026, with six goals scored in 29 matches, 24 of which as a starter. He also contributed four assists. However, he made one of his worst starts to the season for Corinthians and has been heavily criticized in recent months for the large number of clear opportunities missed. Furthermore, he lost the support of a large part of the fans after a statement that he wanted to seek "new air" in the middle of the year.

Ramalho played just 15 games, 13 as a starter, and was greatly affected by individual failures in Corinthians' defeats, such as the 3-1 defeat against Botafogo, in the Brasileirão. He didn't show good positioning, he made mistakes and was hasty in some defensive actions.

Finally, Memphis Depay accumulated physical problems and played just 14 games for Timão, with one goal and one assist. There are very few participations in goals in relation to fans' expectations for the number 10's year, which was decisive in the Copa do Brasil title campaign last season.
