How the projections work

Each player's projection is 80 percent underlying numbers and 20 percent recent form. The underlying part takes his minutes per team game, his expected goals and assists per 90, and his team's chance of a clean sheet, and scales them by the opponent: each team's attack and defence come from expected goals and real goals this season, pulled toward the league average so a hot start does not decide everything. Then it scores them the way the game does, by position, with bonus, saves, cards and defensive contribution points. A player the game lists as doubtful or injured is cut by his stated chance of playing. It is a projection, not a promise. The game lists 11,084,701 registered managers for 2026-27.
