PROJECTED BACKUP

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 52%. This is the probability he is in the starting XI, not the probability he plays — a substitute appearance is not a start.
