Minutes and bonus
Where the points come from
86% of his points earned came from appearance. That is a narrow base — if it stops, most of the return stops with it. 7 earned, 5 net
Are the returns real?
Too few minutes this season to say whether his returns are backed by the chances — 261 played, and a gap needs about 900 before it means anything.
Across 7 full seasons on record he has finished above expectation 6 times and below it 1.
Goals and assists minus xGI, per season. Positive means he finished above the chances he had.
Defensive Contribution
He averages 5 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.
Too early for the full model — opens at Gameweek 8.
