The 100-gameweek array

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

Each square is a gameweek at the engine’s current projection for McAtee. 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.
