How the prediction works
The predicted column is expected points for Gameweek 9 alone — not season-long mojo — because a captaincy is a single-gameweek bet. It combines the player's underlying numbers with the specific fixture, home or away, and is cut for injury doubts and rotation risk as news lands.
