One big idea
Aggregated fan predictions track xG and results pretty well, but bias creeps in for the flashy big‑name teams.
Good for
Checking if your fan poll or Discord prediction channel is more than just vibes.
My take
Basically shows the crowd’s decent over 38 rounds, but still has a soft spot for the usual suspects — just like every pub in Dublin on a Champions League night.
