In recent years, Peterborough United have been a team that, on paper, looks too good for EFL League One.
Yet, they still fail to earn promotion every year, coming close and losing in the playoffs in the last two seasons.
Their start to the season this time around has been something of a surprise.
They sit 12th, just one point behind sixth-placed Stockport County and seven points behind Birmingham City, who are at the top of the pile.
If Peterborough is to cut the deficit, they will rely heavily on 23-year-old Kwame Pokus style of play, who has contributed the most goals in the league.
The visualisation below highlights Poku’s numbers from this season compared with those of the other players in his position who play in similar-quality leagues to League One.

Poku’s attacking numbers are among the best, not just in League One but in the entirety of EFL.
With an xG of 3.5, Poku has six goals, underlining his excellent finishing.
