Why this projection

The model works bottom-up from Virgil's underlying rates rather than raw points: 0.07 expected goals and 0.07 expected assists per 90, 90 minutes per appearance, and a clean-sheet rate of 60%. Those rates are then adjusted for each opponent's fixture difficulty (currently averaging 3.4 over the next 5) and blended with recent form.

Availability is factored in directly: he is fully fit, so the raw projection is scaled by 100%.
