Are the returns real?

Too few minutes this season to say whether his returns are backed by the chances — 207 played, and a gap needs about 900 before it means anything.

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

Full seasons on record
2025/26 1.2

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

Defensive Contribution

He averages 4.3 against a line of 10, 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.
