Le potentiel de Ben Arfa...

Nearly 6 in 10 voters bet Ben Arfa still explodes within two years — a majority that held from the opening day through all 67, without a single day of doubt. Only 14.7% think he's already peaked, the smallest camp of the three by a wide margin.

The gender gap is the real story: men backed the breakout call 113-to-13 over the fizzle option, an 8-to-1 ratio, while the doubters split closer to evenly. France supplied the bulk of votes and leaned the same way as everyone else — this was consensus, not a coin flip that happened to land.

• Steady majority · Breakout option led at 59-65% every single day, day 1 to 67
• Gender split · Men favored the breakout pick 113-13 over 'never will'
• Peaked camp smallest · Only 14.7% think he's already maxed out
