The 100-gameweek array

Raya returns in 69 of 100 gameweeks at this projection (69%)

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