Minutes and bonus
Where the points come from
50% of his points earned came from appearance. No single source dominates, though bonus tends to follow whichever one leads. 12 earned, 9 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 10 full seasons on record he has finished above expectation 8 times and below it 2.
Goals and assists minus xGI, per season. Positive means he finished above the chances he had.
Defensive Contribution
He averages 8.3 against a line of 10 — 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.
Too early for the full model — opens at Gameweek 8.
