eBy the evmax model · 3 September 2026

Guéhi (MCI) projects 4.41: 1.65 from clean sheets, 0.02 from defensive contribution and 0.31 from bonus. Where a defender's points come from matters as much as the total — a clean-sheet projection lives or dies on one fixture, while defensive contribution pays regardless of the scoreline.
