Minutes and bonus
Where the points come from
50% of his points earned came from appearance. No single source dominates, though bonus tends to follow whichever one leads. 12 earned, 10 net
Are the returns real?
Too few minutes this season to say whether his returns are backed by the chances — 270 played, and a gap needs about 900 before it means anything.
Across 3 full seasons on record he has finished above expectation 1 time and below it 2.
Goals and assists minus xGI, per season. Positive means he finished above the chances he had.
Defensive Contribution
He averages 7 against a line of 10 — close enough that a busy game gets him there, but not reliably.

Early trend
Not the model — that needs a longer form window and opens once he has 8 gameweeks behind him. This is simply what he has actually scored so far.
Too early for the full model — opens at Gameweek 8.
