55a x 30m = ?
Quite simple, possible fitness issue with Theo (more likely regime related but let's say it's him). So we play him for the last 30 mins only, of the vast majority of fixtures. For sake of argument, let's say this solves the fitness issue so he plays all season long.
So roughly 55 appearances for the last half hour of the game. How many goals and assists would you expect him to rack up in a season?
I'm coming straight out and saying that's a 30 goal season with at least 20 assists. What say you JA606ers?

I'm doing a degree in maths and the answer is 1650am.
But in all seriousness he would get 20 goals and 15 assists if he made 55 appearances in a season.

Considering he gets injured once every 8 appearances, I think the above is inaccurate

If Theo got 10 goals using that approach I'd be very surprised...

If he made 55a x 30m = 18.33a x 90m so equivalent of less than 20games a season.
Is that worth over £100k a week?

It is if he gets a mountain of goals and assists running rampant against tired defences. Telling me you wouldn't be happy to give him 150k a week if he managed to get even close to the numbers I've suggested?
Course you wouldn't, if he's putting the ball in the net, you won't give a toss how many games his total mins added up to. You'd just be cheering "Theooo, Theooo!!" at the 60 min mark in every game, just like everyone else.

Why? Posters are always claiming he's most effective as an impact substitute, so why wouldn't you expect him to get more than 10 goals playing all season being used as one? Assuming he plays all season as a result of playing for far less time.
