The upside tail improves from 9.68% to 12.90%.

WHY THE MODEL MOVES

Reuters reported 12 goals and nine assists in 42 Strasbourg appearances last season. The model applies Enciso as a high-minute attacking option, increasing Ipswich's goal expectation in every unresolved league fixture while keeping all other inputs fixed.

Strasbourg confirmed a permanent transfer. Reuters reported a five-year Ipswich contract and a fee of about €30 million, with financial terms not disclosed by the clubs.
