A Backhouse
Over 276 matches (Aug 2013 – Oct 2026), A Backhouse drew 71 where the draw model expected 76.4 from those particular fixtures — about 5 fewer, or 0.7 standard errors, which is what the model expected, near enough.
A flat league average would have expected 74.4 instead — "more draws than the league" and "more draws than these fixtures deserved" are different claims. These matches were part of the model's own training set, so its chances were fitted already knowing the results.
