What would change the call

Queens Park Rangers lead 1–0 at half-time72% → 95%
Derby County lead 1–0 at half-time72% → 37%
Goalless at half-time72% → 76%

Each row is the call re-priced for that scoreline at half-time. Lineups are not in it — we publish per-player shooting rates, not a squad-strength number, so what a rested front three does to this figure is not something we can honestly put a number on.
