How does this work if we are 3rd bottom?
It's a complex predictive model that's updated after every game, which plays out the remainder of the whole season tens of thousands of times, generating the probabilities of those various outcomes.
There's still 41 games left and it's almost as probable that we'll get relegated as promoted atm, hence the most probable finishing position is 11th now.
If you prefer though, there's currently an 80% probability that we
won't finish in the top 6 this season.
I've always wondered, and hopefully you're able to clarify, but what are their inputs in this Monte Carlo model?
Many, varied & complex.Is each result (win/lose/draw) equally likely?
No.Or does it actually have different score line probabilities for each team (i.e. MK Dons vs Accrington Stanley had a 40% chance Dons win, whereas us vs Sheffield Wednesday had a 20% chance we in etc.)?
Yes.And if so, how does it calculate it? Is it based on xG stats etc.?
It's much more varied & complex. The main thing is it suggests reasonably probable outcomes for the league season, which can provide some helpful counterperspective to any binary/bipolar Boom/Doom following whatever our previous result was.
