Minutes override (judgment channel — edits the model's inputs, then everything re-solves)
Current override: 60% — Scout 2026-09-06 (NFO 0-0 TOT): Delap made his first Forest start, 70 mins, Glasner "absolutely fine with his first performance". Supersedes the 08-30 sub-only note.
FPL's API publishes no pass or shot counts. Threat is the shot-volume proxy and Creativity the chance-creation proxy (both Opta-derived). Per-90 stats need minutes to mean anything — early season, lean on the projections and last season's reputation.
