Total impact vs full squads
  • Istanbul Basaksehir+0.5 pp
  • Draw-0.2 pp
  • Gazişehir Gaziantep-0.3 pp

From eScored squad data: each player's weight is his role (core 3, starter 2, rotation 1, depth 0.5) times his share of minutes. Defenders and keepers count to the defence line, forwards to attack, midfielders half to each. EloLambda turns the lost share into fewer goals scored and more conceded (weight 0.1); the totals show how that moves the result chances.
