His scoring record is great, it's just that usually his all round play isn't, as demonstrated by the fact he has no assists this season.

I know its nowhere near a confirmed formula and all that but he's scored goals worth 7 points to us over the season.WolvesChelseaLeedsEverton

But it's always been a pretty nebulous metric on which to judge a player. If Watkins sticks away one of those gilt-edged chances from an El Ghazi pass at home to Palace on Boxing Day rather than sticking one against the bar and one against the post, is El Ghazi a better player as a result?
Scored in the play off final at Wembley. Priceless
I said during the match thread I'd like to see him come in more and play closer to Ollie as El Ghazi is no winger. He's generally a waste of space hugging the touchline but could he play a more mobile role, I don't know but we have a few games left to give it a go.

Good point, don’t know what the stats are for chances created.
