Why this projection

The model works bottom-up from Ballard's underlying rates rather than raw points: 0.06 expected goals and 0.06 expected assists per 90, 90 minutes per appearance, and a clean-sheet rate of 20%. Those rates are then adjusted for each opponent's fixture difficulty (currently averaging 3.0 over the next 5) and blended with recent form.

Availability is factored in directly: status is "d", so the raw projection is scaled by 75%.
