The 100-gameweek array

Penders scores 6+ in 13 of 100 gameweeks at this projection (13%)

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