How the projections work
The Footalytics AI engine simulates the rest of the season 10,000 times. Machine-rated opponent strength weights every remaining fixture, Bayesian calibration keeps small samples honest, injuries and rotation are priced in as uncertainty — refreshed automatically after every round by the same engine that grades every match prediction in public.
Assumptions: scoring rates from this season's official scorer table, opponent strength from team ratings, an appearance probability per game, and no January transfers. Probabilities are model projections, not facts — the table itself is official data.
