Are the returns real?

Too few minutes this season to say whether his returns are backed by the chances — 268 played, and a gap needs about 900 before it means anything.

Across 4 full seasons on record he has finished above expectation 2 times and below it 2.

Full seasons on record
2025/26 2.7
2024/25 +0.8
2023/24 1.1
2022/23 +4.5

Goals and assists minus xGI, per season. Positive means he finished above the chances he had.

Defensive Contribution

He averages 9.3 against a line of 12 — 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.
