What the season told us
Our model projects predicted points (pP) for every player before every round, from expected goals, expected assists, projected minutes and clean-sheet probability. Once a season is over those projections can be held against what actually happened, which is the only honest way to judge a prediction tool. This one ran for 8 rounds.
