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 8 full seasons on record he has finished above expectation every time.

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.
