What the model makes of them
The model rates Nottingham Forest's attack 14th of 20 and its defence 15th: against an average opponent it projects 1.12 goals scored and 1.11 conceded.
Across the next 8 fixtures the kindest is Hull City in gameweek 13 (away), where the model has them +0.28 goals better off; the hardest is Arsenal in gameweek 7 at -0.62.
Taken as a run rather than a fixture at a time, that schedule ranks 15th of 20 in the league for attacking upside over the same window.
Gibbs-White is the model's pick of the squad on 37.9 points over the run, 10.8 clear of Murillo.
