Where the points come from

Appearance660%
DefCon440%
Goals conceded-3

60% of his points earned came from appearance. That is a narrow base — if it stops, most of the return stops with it. 10 earned, 7 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 7 full seasons on record he has finished above expectation 5 times and below it 2.

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.
