Register grading — Serie A 2026/27, in progress

The register was sealed before the season. This page reads it back against what has actually happened, week by week, and does not grade anything. The bars below were fixed on 2026-08-28 and are quoted from the sealed file; the realised numbers come from Understat, the source addendum-01 designated for grading after FBref removed every xG statistic.

The headline prediction

Randal Kolo Muani, non-penalty xG per 90

Sealed text: “Kolo Muani 2026/27 Serie A npxG/90 < 0.35 on ≥1,500 min. If ≥0.40 on ≥1,500 min, the register says we were wrong.”

Status of the prediction
PENDING
The prediction is conditional on 1,500 Serie A minutes. He has 180. Neither limb is testable yet.
Every registered player against the pre-committed bars

Serie A 2026/27, as of 2026-08-30

Minutes bar fills toward 1,500; the amber tick is the 900-minute floor below which the register records a graded MINUTES failure. Share is of the 180 Juventus minutes available so far. Pace is minutes × 38 ÷ games played — plain arithmetic, not a projection, and suppressed until matchday 8 (a display choice, not a derived threshold). The last column is the exact Understat row the name was joined to, so a wrong join is visible.

——————0.554—NOT GRADEDno Understat coverage — Süper Lig is outside Understat's six leagues

Dušan Vlahović is not on the graded rows: Beşiktaş play in the Süper Lig, which Understat does not cover, so there is no free npxG for him anywhere — the register's OUT side has no measurable rate and that is a known, unhedged gap rather than an omission. Loïs Openda is at Lyon; the sealed grading unit is Serie A minutes only, so his Ligue 1 numbers are context and are not graded here.

The zero-skill row

34.3% of comparable signings clear a frozen bar. Two thirds fail.

Measured in P-1 on 1,365 fee-bearing big-5 signings, 2017/18–2022/23 (experiments/p-1-results-02-battery.json, commit 20b94a8), and attached to the register as addendum-02 before any grading, because the sealed file requires it. Full P-1 readout →

The bars, verbatim, and the file chain
Success bar (attackers). realised npxG/90 ≥ 0.30 AND ≥ 1,500 Serie A minutes in 2026/27 [chosen, labelled].
Minutes rule. Serie A minutes only. <900 min = MINUTES failure, graded, not excluded (F4).
Point test. |realised − projected| vs Marcel validated RMSE 0.077 (≈ ±0.10 at 80%).
Zero-skill row. Base rate from P-1 on the 2017–2022 universe, attached before grading.
When. End of Serie A 2026/27 (May 2027); then 2027/28.
