Where the points come from

Appearance3100%
Cards-1

100% of his points earned came from appearance. That is a narrow base — if it stops, most of the return stops with it. 3 earned, 2 net

Are the returns real?

Too few minutes this season to say whether his returns are backed by the chances — 46 played, and a gap needs about 900 before it means anything.

Across 3 full seasons on record he has finished above expectation every time.

Full seasons on record
2025/26 +2.2
2024/25 +2.1
2017/18 +2.0

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

Defensive Contribution

He averages 2 against a line of 12, 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.

Too early for the full model — opens at Gameweek 8.
