Sorare projections

Sorare Projections & Rankings

Fantasy Matchup Edge's Sorare projections are built from the player and the matchup — not simply from L5 form, a team-level fixture rating or a broad “defence versus position” average. We model how each player actually produces Sorare points, using their action profile and role, then compare it with the actions their opponent tends to allow to similar roles and channels in the expected match environment.

From there, every Premier League fixture is simulated 100,000 times and each player's Sorare score is rebuilt from the actions and decisive events generated inside those match outcomes. The result is a player-specific projection, a Gameweek ranking and a distribution of outcomes showing expected score, upside, All-Around production and decisive contribution.

Sorare projections & action profiles

Start with projected Sorare outcomes, then switch lenses to see the attacking, creative and defensive actions underneath the score.

Overview: Sorare score, upside and the split between All-Around and decisive production. The action lenses keep the same overall projection and expose different parts of the projected player profile.

Fixture Profile
Sorare outcome colours: fixed FME thresholds from weaker red/orange to stronger green. Action colours: position-relative rate intensity. Darker means a higher projected frequency, not necessarily a better action.

All projections assume the player starts. Projection is the simulation mean; P90 and the 60+/70+/80+ columns show the distribution around it. Projected actions are matchup-adjusted expected actions per 90.

How our model works

Beyond defence vs position

Why our Sorare projections go deeper

Traditional DFS matchup analysis often compresses an opponent into something like “this team allows 8.3 All-Around points to midfielders”. That can be useful as a broad signal, but it treats very different players as if they attack the same matchup in the same way.

A central ball-winner, a high-volume passer and a wide creator may all be listed as midfielders while relying on completely different actions for their Sorare scores. Fantasy Matchup Edge models those action profiles separately, keeps role and channel context, and asks what this particular opponent tends to allow to the actions and player types that matter for each individual.

The model also accounts for the player's own ability, current role, team action supply, opponent-allowed tendencies and the wider expected match environment. Those pieces remain separate inputs rather than being collapsed into one crude matchup multiplier.

The FME difference

We do not ask whether the fixture is generically good for midfielders or defenders. We ask which actions the match is likely to create, where those opportunities are likely to fall by role and channel, and which individual players are best equipped to turn them into Sorare points.

Decisive score, All-Around score and upside

A headline Sorare projection can hide very different player profiles. One player may rely heavily on goals, assists and other decisive events, while another may build a large part of the same projected total through passing, creation, defending and possession work.

That is why the board keeps projected score alongside All-Around, projected decisive score and average decisives. The 60+, 70+, 80+ and P90 columns then show how the full score distribution behaves around that central expectation.

Explore the underlying action profile

Switching the board to attacking, creative or defensive actions does not create a different Sorare projection. The overall score stays the same; the table simply exposes more of the matchup-adjusted actions underneath it.

What should you use the rankings for?

The rankings are designed to help identify the Premier League players whose individual matchup looks strongest for the upcoming Gameweek. They can surface obvious stars, but they should also make less obvious opportunities visible — for example, a player whose specific action profile fits what the opponent concedes even when the fixture looks unremarkable at team level.

The current Sorare projections answer the question “how is this player expected to score if they start?” Availability and likely line-ups should therefore be considered alongside the rankings.

Sorare projections: quick answers

Are these Sorare projections based on L5 or L15 averages?

No. Historical scores and current evidence help establish the player baseline, but the projection is rebuilt for the upcoming fixture using the player's action profile, role, team context, opponent tendencies and expected match environment.

What is the difference between projected score, AA and Decisive?

Projected score is the average final Sorare score across the simulations. AA isolates the expected All-Around component, while Decisive shows the model's expected score contribution from decisive scoring routes.

What does Avg DEC mean?

Avg DEC is the average number of positive decisive actions recorded per simulation. It measures expected decisive-event volume rather than the Sorare points generated by those events.

Do the projections assume the player starts?

Yes. They are conditional on the player starting and are not diluted by an estimated start probability.
