Where the points come from

Appearance675%
DefCon225%

75% of his points earned came from appearance. That is a narrow base — if it stops, most of the return stops with it. 8 earned

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.

Full seasons on record
2025/26 2.0
2024/25 0.6
2023/24 +1.1

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

Defensive Contribution

He averages 9.7 against a line of 12 — 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.
