38% of his points earned came from goals. No single source dominates, though bonus tends to follow whichever one leads. 26 earned, 25 net

Are the returns real?

Too few minutes this season to say whether his returns are backed by the chances — 173 played, and a gap needs about 900 before it means anything.

Across 1 full season on record he has finished above expectation every time.

Full seasons on record
2025/26 +3.9

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.
