What the model expects

Every number on this page comes from the same engine that marks a squad, projected over the opening 15 gameweeks. Published before the matches, so it can be checked against them afterwards — the scorecard is here.

UPPERCASE is home, lowercase away. “Scores” and “concedes” are the goals our model expects across the whole run — so a club can have an easy set of fixtures for its forwards and a hard one for its defenders, which one blended difficulty number would hide.

Still to come

A predicted final table — points, title odds, top four, relegation — needs all 38 gameweeks simulated rather than the 15 behind this page. It is being built; publishing a season prediction off a 15-gameweek run would be exactly the kind of number this site exists not to print.
