Last season, Josh King was an important player at Fulham and enjoyed something of a breakthrough period.
This season, there has been no player more important in Fulham colours than the teenager.
Although it was not King who scored the all-important goal that ensured Fulham finally got their first win of the season, he was involved in virtually everything good the Cottagers did that day.
On two occasions, he could have scored, and he amassed three key passes and an expected assists of 0.32.
It backs up strong performances against Ipswich and Manchester United, from which King was mightily unlucky again not to be involved in the goals.
The England U21 international again created two big chances against Ipswich and in the match with Manchester United, it was a real mystery how he failed to convert any of the three chances he had - with a mixture of good goalkeeping from Senne Lammens and some wasteful shooting stopping that from happening.
In the Carabao Cup against West Ham, King came on and it was his pressing and desire that teed up Oscar Bobb for his first Fulham goal since joining from Manchester City last January.
In the 0-0 draw with Liverpool, King was again one of Fulham’s key sources for both chance creation and shots on goal.
He then did actually score goals in the 3-2 defeats to Crystal Palace and Chelsea.
King’s one poor performance came at Sunderland, where he should have scored in the first half and struggled to get into the game from a creative standpoint in the second.
But what has led to King improving so much?
Well, firstly of course, the added responsibility.
Last season, Harry Wilson was the main man, with Raul Jimenez a hugely experienced, hugely respected individual up front.
This year, neither of them are at Craven Cottage, having left in the summer to join Leeds and Wolves on free transfers.
And with Fulham bringing in young, inexperienced players to replace them, it has led to a newfound freedom in the side.
King, as someone who has been with Fulham since he was eight years old, knows the club better than anyone else.
And that is showing on the pitch.
Secondly, and there has not been much credit given to Alvaro Arbeloa, including from me, but the Spaniard has an excellent record with young talents.
King clearly enjoys playing under him and has taken on the No.10 role this season as if he owns the shirt.
Last season there was a competition with Emile Smith Rowe; there is no such competition this term, with the former Arsenal man resorting to minutes off the bench or in the cup.
Finally, there is of course, the fact that King is in his second season.
Last year was a breakthrough year and one in which he was left with a lot of minutes from the bench.
This season, King has started every game, and there is no sign of that stopping anytime soon.
The ability has always been there and now King is making the most of his talent and from a Fulham perspective - long may it continue.
