Highest to lowest: provisional FIS worksheet
Matches are ordered by their higher team worksheet score. Ties are preserved; alphabetical order breaks display ties only. These rankings do not identify the most likely loser.
| Rank | Fixture | Home / Away provisional FIS | Delta H−A | Market to investigate | PCS / confidence / fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| =1 | Burton Albion v Huddersfield Town | 50.0 / 50.0 | 0.0 | Burton +0.5 | Not assigned · Low · PENDING |
| =1 | Leyton Orient v Plymouth Argyle | 50.0 / 50.0 | 0.0 | Plymouth +0.5 | Not assigned · Low · PENDING |
| 3 | Reading v Bradford City | 47.5 / 47.5 | 0.0 | Reading Draw No Bet | Not assigned · Low · INSUFFICIENT INTELLIGENCE |
No contextual leader clears 60. The missing evidence prevents a stronger ordering. A 50 prior means “unresolved”, not verified neutral football circumstances; 47.5 reflects the information penalty only. No worksheet figure is a win or loss percentage.

Betfred Insights League One coupon, retrieved 3 October. These are page snapshots, not a live executable betslip. H/D/A probabilities use proportional normalization: (1/odds) ÷ sum(1/odds).
| Fixture | Decimal H / D / A | No-margin H / D / A | Overround |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burton Albion v Huddersfield Town | 3.40 / 3.60 / 2.05 | 27.8% / 26.2% / 46.0% | 5.97% |
| Leyton Orient v Plymouth Argyle | 3.10 / 3.75 / 2.15 | 30.6% / 25.3% / 44.1% | 5.44% |
| Reading v Bradford City | 2.05 / 3.50 / 3.50 | 46.1% / 27.0% / 27.0% | 5.92% |
Independent baseline: unavailable for all three matches. The figures above are a market anchor only. They do not establish value, satisfy the three-price protocol, or substitute for model probabilities. The coupon also lists rearranged fixtures on the original date; current fixtures were checked separately using Sky and EFL.
Joint rank 1 · 15:00 BST
Burton Albion v Huddersfield Town
Thesis to test: Burton’s reported home resilience makes Burton +0.5 a useful challenger to a market favouring Huddersfield. A draw would satisfy this proposition; any Huddersfield win would defeat it. This is a research question, not a recommendation.
- 1 October, Sports Mole: Burton were reported unbeaten in four home league games, with one win and three draws.
- 1 October, Sports Mole: Huddersfield’s preview lists Whatmough and several midfield injury concerns. Burton have Lewis unavailable and other defensive questions. These are reported inputs, not confirmed XIs or assessed replacement quality.
- 3 October, price snapshot: Huddersfield 2.05 is the shortest 1X2 quote in the retrieved coupon. The no-margin away anchor remains below 50%; being favourite does not establish a confident win.
Failure case: If Huddersfield’s midfield replacements maintain ball progression and pressure, Burton’s short home unbeaten sample may offer little protection. Burton defensive absences may undermine the same thesis.
| Scenario | Effect on Burton +0.5 |
|---|---|
| Expected: visitors control possession | Survives only if Burton limit clear chances and retain a scoring route. |
| Adverse: Huddersfield score first | Can fail; no validated recovery model supports confidence. |
| Lineup surprise: weakened Burton defence | Remove the positive home-resilience thesis and rerun the analysis. |
PCS: not assigned. Market Fit: PENDING. Uncertainty: High. Exact +0.5 odds, official XIs, minutes/rest data and an independent model are missing. Chronology wording in the preview is insufficient for a fatigue adjustment.
Joint rank 1 · 15:00 BST
Leyton Orient v Plymouth Argyle
Thesis to test: Plymouth +0.5 expresses an away-side direction while allowing a draw. Their recent away scoring is a lead to investigate, but does not prove a tactical advantage or a goals bet.
- 1 October, Sports Mole: Plymouth had consecutive away wins, 4–2 at Blackpool and 3–2 at Doncaster, before losing 0–1 at home to Burton.
- 1 October, Sports Mole: Orient’s latest reported league result was a 1–0 win over Stevenage. Their recent home sequence did not consistently produce multiple goals.
- 1 October, Sports Mole: Demetri Mitchell was reported injured; Julio Pleguezuelo required assessment. Projected replacements are not confirmation of the football impact.
- 3 October, price snapshot: Plymouth 2.15 is the shortest quote, but the no-margin away anchor is below 50%.
Failure case: Orient can disrupt Plymouth’s progression and expose a changed defensive role. Two productive away games are a small sample and cannot establish reliable chance quality.
| Scenario | Effect on Plymouth +0.5 |
|---|---|
| Expected: Plymouth create regularly | Compatible with an away result; requires chance-quality evidence. |
| Adverse: Orient score first and lower tempo | Can fail if Plymouth cannot break a settled block. |
| Lineup surprise: defensive replacement changes build-up | Reassess both ball progression and transition protection. |
PCS: not assigned. Market Fit: PENDING. Uncertainty: High. Exact handicap price, confirmed roles, travel/rest load and an independent baseline remain unresolved.
Rank 3 · 15:00 BST
Reading v Bradford City
Thesis to test: Reading Draw No Bet combines a home attacking case with draw protection. Bradford’s defensive results and information conflicts substantially weaken conviction.
- 1 October, Sports Mole: Reading had three home league wins; Marriott was reported to have eight goals in seven league appearances.
- 1 October, Sports Mole: Bradford had five clean sheets in seven league games and a reported interim coaching arrangement.
- 1–2 October, conflicting previews: Sports Mole lists Rinomhota away internationally while also including him in a projected XI. The Tilehurst End reports his return. McCracken’s availability is also inconsistent between previews.
- 3 October, price snapshot: Reading 2.05 is the shortest quote. This is a bookmaker view, not corroboration of disputed team news.
Failure case: Bradford’s structure suppresses Reading’s chances, or disputed midfield/goalkeeper availability changes the matchup. The home attacking sample alone cannot establish a price edge.
| Scenario | Effect on Reading DNB |
|---|---|
| Expected: Reading sustain home pressure | Compatible with a home win; a draw returns the stake under standard DNB rules. |
| Adverse: Bradford score first and defend compactly | Can lose; no validated comeback estimate is available. |
| Lineup surprise: disputed players unavailable | Thesis must be rebuilt. Information floor currently fails for both teams. |
PCS: not assigned. Market Fit: INSUFFICIENT INTELLIGENCE. Uncertainty: High. Provisional integrity 25 is below the strategy’s required 50; no context-led selection qualifies.

Score calculation and uncertainty
The supplied Strategy 5 v2.0 weights are retained. Subscores use its 0/25/50/75/100 scale. This edition adds a disclosed neutral-prior worksheet convention for missing inputs; that convention is not a rule in the supplied PDF. Completed FIS remains pending. General previews are Tier 3 leads and have not been used to create positive football adjustments.
| Component | Weight | Burton / Huddersfield / Orient / Plymouth | Reading / Bradford | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stakes & incentives | 18% | 50 prior | 50 prior | No verified objective-plus-mechanism adjustment. |
| Availability & lineup leverage | 22% | 50 prior | 50 prior | Official roles and replacement quality incomplete. |
| Recovery, travel & rotation | 15% | 50 prior | 50 prior | Minutes, travel and depth not established. |
| Tactical & managerial fit | 15% | 50 prior | 50 prior | Results do not establish observed tactical mechanisms. |
| Club environment | 10% | 50 prior | 50 prior | No corroborated impact on performance. |
| Information integrity | 10% | 50 provisional | 25 provisional | Limited corroboration; Reading/Bradford have material conflicts. |
| Market intelligence | 10% | 50 prior | 50 prior | One coupon; no three-price comparison or priced-news attribution. |
| Weighted worksheet total | 100% | 50.0 each | 47.5 each | Sum(weight × subscore) / 100. |
Sensitivity: 90% of the FIS weight is filled by unresolved priors. Letting those inputs span 0–100 gives a purely mathematical range of 5–95 for the first four teams and 2.5–92.5 for Reading/Bradford. These are not statistical confidence intervals. The very wide ranges show why a strong numerical ranking would be misleading.
PCS requirements still missing: independent baseline agreement (30%), three-price benchmark and exact-market assessment (20%), lineup certainty (15%), quantitative scenario robustness (20%), verified context support (10%) and price stability (5%). The qualitative scripts above identify risks; they do not calculate probabilities. No minimum entry odds or expected return is assigned.
Fixture exclusions and next checks
