These come from a position-specific model trained on three seasons and tested on gameweeks it never saw. It’s a real edge, not a crystal ball — single-gameweek football is noisy, so the 4-week figure is the more dependable read. We publish the model’s actual accuracy (how we measure it) instead of asking you to take the number on faith.
