Where the points come from

Appearance5100%
Goals conceded-2

100% of his points earned came from appearance. That is a narrow base — if it stops, most of the return stops with it. 5 earned, 3 net

Are the returns real?

Too few minutes this season to say whether his returns are backed by the chances — 195 played, and a gap needs about 900 before it means anything.

Across 3 full seasons on record he has finished above expectation 2 times and below it 1.

Full seasons on record
2025/26 +0.5
2024/25 2.4
2023/24 +1.6

Goals and assists minus xGI, per season. Positive means he finished above the chances he had.

Defensive Contribution

He averages 3.3 against a line of 10, so DefCon is not a realistic source of points for him.

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.
