Onside gives Collins a 77% chance of starting Gameweek 2.

77%
PROJECTED STARTER

Based on his 2025/26 start rate only — usable pre-season XI data does not exist for his club yet, and for a player who changed clubs this reflects his OLD role. First real team sheets correct it within a week. Model confidence 30%. This is the probability he is in the starting XI, not the probability he plays — a substitute appearance is not a start.

The 100-gameweek array

Collins returns in 11 of 100 gameweeks at this projection (11%)

Each square is a gameweek at the engine’s current projection for Collins. Acid squares are the weeks he returns — a goal, an assist, a clean-sheet-level score. The grey ones are the blanks nobody puts in the highlight reel.

The shape, not just the number: a high projection with many grey squares is a different bet from the same projection concentrated in acid.
