Model Updated Post-GW20 📊 Here is a pack of data: 🖥️ Simulated Table (4 Jan) 📅 GW21 Match Predictions 🥅 GW21 Goal Involvement ⚽️ GW21 - 26 Predicted Goals

Leeds - Man United Post-Match Report 📊 Outcome not too far away from expectations. This is roughly what it looks like when a mid-table side faces a strong promoted side. These are the kind of fixtures you need to see Man United win 3-0 if you want to believe they're improving.

Premier League Simulated Table 📊 (1 Jan 2026) A big weekend of results for Arsenal. The likelihood of becoming champions has increased to 71%. 🏆 The points gain for Arsenal will be greater from me than from other sources because I rate Aston Villa and Sunderland lower than the consensus.

Volatile performances, but no doubt in my mind that Maresca was a success at Chelsea. The youngest squad in the league transformed into the 4th-best team in an increasingly competitive landscape. I don’t see this change making them better.

Simulated Premier League Table 📊 (28 Dec 2025) 📈 An incredibly unlikely run from Aston Villa sees them fighting Liverpool for 3rd place 🏆 Man City keeping Arsenal honest ⬇️ West Ham going down

Michael Kayode has a very interesting carrying repertoire. In particular, he can suddenly decide to go on an adventure across the field (see the long red lines below). This sends me into my frequent spiral about what matters and what is measurable in football 1/

Kayode's carry causes: (1) a resulting disruption to the opposition; (2) that gives Brentford the ability to better control the sequence of play; (3) allowing them to make higher quality decisions; (4) that increase goal probability. 6/

I hope to get better at articulating this, but not even football escapes the fact of life that any increase in decision quality improves the outcomes associated with such decisions I always come back to this Rene Maric quote: 7/

But for me, it is more interesting because I just can't shake the idea that there is something slightly beyond our current data e.g. measuring just the pure increase in threat location, the resulting xG values, etc. How do we capture the value of what Kayode does here? 5/

This carry vs Liverpool is a good example. Kayode receives near the touchline in a surrounded position The horizontal run allows him to go unchallenged as the opposition is more concerned with retaining shape but allowing Kayode central space and diagonal opportunity 2/

This encourages Kayode to continue the run and ends up in a very similar situation - again he goes unchallenged and the carry results in a successful end product via pass to the winger 3/

Premier League Simulated Table 🎄 (22 Dec) ⬆️ Aston Villa somehow creep into 4th place 🤏 Just 8 points separate 6th and 13th ⬇️ West Ham looking likely to go down #JusticeForPotter

Without Bruno, United’s projected goals would only fall slightly. A single absentee always has less impact on the team than people imagine. Cunha profiles well at ~0.7 goal involvement.

This is the strongest Man United have been since Amorim arrived. However, it’s only about on par with the level of the side he originally inherited. In the context of how competitive the league has become, this might be considered progress.

Premier League Simulated Table 📊 (15 Dec 2025) Arsenal's 10-point projected lead from last month is now down to just 4 points 📉 European places continue to be a battle of mediocrity 🤷‍♂️ Sunderland keep getting away with it ⬆️

Premier League Simulated Table 📊 (8 Dec 2025) Arsenal fans can start feeling a little nervous 🏆 Another huge week for Leeds ⬆️

Here’s the weekly change in overall rating so far this season 📈 Each panel uses an independent scale, so you can see how sentiment is trending for each team

Performance vs Expectations 📊 (5 Nov Update) As a reminder, this model view shows who’s really improving or declining by factoring in what most expected stats ignore: fixture difficulty, game state, red cards, pens, finishing, and more.

Wolves have flirted with relegation for too long. Since 23/24, they’ve shown no improvement, just stagnating at relegation standard. Benefiting from good bounces and weak promoted sides. At some point, that luck runs out.

FULL TIME WOLVES 2-3 BURNLEY First half from Wolves was dismal, with a couple of goals from nowhere to sugar-coat it. Second half was spirited but still flawed and ultimately fruitless. Another must-win game lost and 0 points from 9 against the promoted sides. Wolves bang in trouble. #WWFC

Most of the “expected” data content you see is still misleading, even in GW7. It ignores context like fixture difficulty, game state, red cards, penalties, finishing, etc. This model view adds that context back in, giving you a clearer picture of change in performance levels.

A huge win for Arsenal. They gained 3.1 points on Liverpool in the title race (based on pre-gameweek expectations). Sometimes 3 points will feel like they’re worth more! Big swing.

Where does everyone stand after GW5? 📊 Model and website updated 🔄 Liverpool extend their lead 🏆 Leeds looking increasingly safe from relegation 🔒 Top half finish would be a success for Aston Villa at this point 📉

The Overall Team Rating History chart, going back to 23/24 is live and working on the site. You can hover to isolate a team. I will add the charts showing the granular changes in Attack/Defence this season after we get a bit more data, so they are more visually interesting.

Website updated ✅ GW2+ data now live 🖥️ In other news that definitely won’t cause any controversy: Arsenal now top the league projections. *logs off*

Spent this morning making the data page on my site (hopefully) work much nicer with mobile If you’re a frequent user of my site on your phone, I’d be super grateful if you sent me any thoughts! 💜

Fast Fantasy Model live table is back for 25/26 ⏰ This is how I put fantasy on 'easy mode' with little time investment. You're unlikely to do badly if you pick players from this table you think will start, roll often, and adjust sensibly for your own beliefs and chip strategy.

Erling Haaland 🇳🇴 Such an exciting transfer window for strikers that it is easy to forget the best goalscorer is already in the Premier League. A 'bad' season for him still sees him end up with the highest npxG p90 in the league!
