Monte Carlo4.1 FP
- His prior three-game scoring average was 10.0 FP. Compared with holding recent form level with the forecast, that scoring history shifts the tree estimate down 1.6 FP. This isolates model sensitivity, not a guaranteed football outcome.
- Recent scoring average: 7.1 FP.
- The saved workload scenario allocates 1.5 targets and 2.5 carries. These are conditional estimates, not confirmed opportunities.
