Each square is a gameweek at the engine’s current projection for O'Brien. Acid squares are the weeks he scores six or more — usually a goal, or an assist or clean sheet with bonus. 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.
