Sorry. I forgot to come back to this. There are 3 things that make a difference.
Home vs Away. Teams who play away have tougher goal targets.
Formation. The fewer Strikers you play, the lower your goal targets.
Strategy. The more defensive you play the higher the goal targets are for both teams. If you play defensive though, it will increase your opponents goal targets more than your own. If you play attacking it will increase your opponents goal targets more than your own.
As Bally pointed out, the estimated goal targets do not take into account your opponents strategy. I might look at adding something to allow people to guess their opponents strategy/formation to see the effect it has.
