Erling Haaland's hattrick at the weekend has catapulted him to 24 points for the season - an awesome, nay, positively terrifying total. That's an average of 12 points per game so far.

However, it would be astonishing if he ended up with an average of much over 8 points per game; and his owners would have to feel pretty well satisfied with anything above 6.5.

Thus, we are in fact likely to see Haaland's average points return in continuous decline through the remainder of the season....

Yes, we've already passed 'Peak Haaland'!!  (How's that for a 'positive reframe'?!)
