FotMob Premier League finished-match player statistics reconstructed with the published Underdog soccer formula
The primary pool contains one verified opening-round starting goalkeeper per club. Full-season starts are reported only as a durability outcome and never filter eligibility. Each gameweek counts the highest available raw score in the selected goalkeeper room. Negative appearances remain eligible. Tournament windows slice those weekly points and never multiply them.
What this page establishes
The checked-in study reconstructs 5 completed Premier League seasons from finished-match FotMob statistics using the published Premier Pup scoring formula.
Across the five opening-day goalkeeper pools, the median three-goalkeeper room beat the median two-goalkeeper room by 84.0 raw points in the middle season result.
Season-level median construction gaps ranged from 71.9 to 92.0 raw points.
Only 45% to 70% of opening-day goalkeepers reached 30 league starts, so job durability is part of GK3's historical insurance value.
The optimized gap is a hindsight ceiling; the median-room and isolated marginal-GK3 results are the relevant descriptive comparisons, not a universal draft rule.
