I suggest you forget all the incorrect facts you know about Onyeka and note where he does play. He can play anywhere in midfield and he does.

So why did he play for them in the first half of the season but is now down the pecking list?

The vast majority of Onyekas football he’s been a DM or CM. He’s never been a consistent starter for Brentford. He had a run of five or six games in a row max over the three seasons he was playing for them.

Imagine being that wrong and doubling down on it.

Brentford play a 4231. Django is a winger and Onyeka would be one of the two.

If you want a signing who may have made Onyeka less needed then you could say Henderson but FO was out on loan last season was well.

Augsburg wanted to make it permanent I think but couldn’t agree a fee.

If 78 is enough for autos that would be wild.

Yeah, it feels super low, the model is factoring in difficulty of remaining fixture though and it doesn’t like boro’s run in.

Unless WBA bring in a miracle worker, I can’t see them finishing above Leicester, especially if Rowett makes them hard to beat.

Actually, I messed up a bit, here’s a corrected version. Computers are hard. The model has millwall finishing second

1st/2nd = probability of finishing in that exact position
PO 3-6 = finishing 3rd-6th (playoff spots)
Mid = finishing 7th-21st
Relg = finishing 22nd-24th (relegated)
Tiebreakers: Southampton edge Wrexham for 6th (proj GD +11.4 vs +9.9)
West Brom drop below Leicester for 22nd (proj GD -17.1 vs -9.3)
Leicester -6pts deduction | Sheffield Wednesday -18pts deduction
