So what's the value of the transfer window modifiers?

If we get through to both finals then the Villa game on May 18 will be brought forward to midweek after the Palace game on May 11.

Is this like invisible ink to anyone else or just me?

(Using an iPhone in dark mode)
 
It'd be incredibly Tottenham like to end Man City's unbeaten streak, beat top of UCL table Villa only to go and hand Palace and Ipswich their first wins of the season.
 
+0.3 xG per game: Spurs, Brighton, Fulham
+0.1 xG per game: Brentford
-0.2 xG per game: Palace, Everton
-0.3 xG per game: Bournemouth, Wolves
No change: everyone else.

Loosely based on https://www.givemesport.com/every-premier-league-clubs-summer-transfer-window-ranked/
Haven’t got a clue about all this xg stuff we are being given by Sky etc. Absolute load of rubbish. Same as stats like One team has had 78 %possession in the last 5 minutes

Ipswich result has put a dent in this for us, now showing most likely finish 7th spot. My home PC supercomputer forecast updated after round 11 results:

Good work; but .

Any modelling derived outcomes
(regardless of however many variables) relies on at least some degree of “ predictability “ . I.e. some semblance of logic .

Trust me SSR ; we support a club that doesn’t do the P-word . For some reason . It’s who we are …..

In other words;

If you value your PC : just run the potential final league standings without including fixtures involving our club; it’ll end up melting into a blob of plastic and molten copper otherwise.

Exhibit A ) lose at home to ITFC ; next game do the deed away against CITEH .

COYS !
