The bar is the share of the club's minutes played. The label and xMins come from the expected-minutes model: recent weeks weighted most, scaled by FPL's availability. Nailed is a start chance above 85%, likely starter above 60%, rotation above 35%, bench for regular substitutes. After 5 games, so treat the labels as early.
