Brighton
Minutes and bonus
Where the points come from
73% of his points earned came from appearance. That is a narrow base — if it stops, most of the return stops with it. 37 earned, 35 net
Are the returns real?
Too few minutes this season to say whether his returns are backed by the chances — 772 played, and a gap needs about 900 before it means anything.
Across 15 full seasons on record he has finished above expectation every time.
Goals and assists minus xGI, per season. Positive means he finished above the chances he had.
Defensive Contribution
He averages 4 against a line of 12, so DefCon is not a realistic source of points for him.
Against each level of opponent
He scores 1.7 more per game against the hardest opponents he faced than the easiest, which is the opposite of the usual pattern.
1 is the easiest opponent, 5 the hardest. Bracketed figure is appearances at that level.
