Confirmed: a Sportmonks done deal lands at one of the named clubs within six months of the rumour date, for the same player. Sportmonks is the leagues' official transfer feed — not anyone's editorial call.
Expired: twelve months without a matching done deal. Counts against the journalist.
Score: confirmed ÷ (confirmed + expired). Pending rumours don't count yet.
