Answer

Question

Using the full model over GW9 to GW12, with a 2-point transfer threshold and no hits allowed, should I transfer or hold for GW9? Give the gain, threshold, immediate buys and sells, starting XI, captain, vice-captain and ordered bench. Explain what period the gain covers.

Verdict: TRANSFER for GW9. Snapshot frozen 28 Oct 2026, target GW9, full model, horizon GW9–GW12.

Gain vs threshold

Gain: +3.78 expected points (plan objective 183.52 vs hold objective 179.74)
Threshold: 2.0 — the gain clears it, so make_transfers is true
The gain covers the whole GW9–GW12 horizon, not just GW9. It compares the multi-GW transfer plan against holding in GW9, and includes GW discounting, bench weighting and hit penalties (0 hits here).

GW9 transfers (immediate action)

Buys: Raya (Arsenal, GKP, £6.2m), Barry (Everton, FWD, £5.6m), Mbeumo (Man Utd, MID, £7.9m)
Sells: João Pedro (Chelsea, FWD, £7.8m — thigh injury, unknown return), B.Fernandes (Man Utd, MID, £11.7m), Dubravka (Spurs, GKP, £4.0m)

GW9 starting XI (EP estimate 48.6)

Raya
Gvardiol, Davis, van Ewijk
Mbeumo, Rogers, Ødegaard, Groß
Haaland, Calvert-Lewin, Barry

Captain: Haaland · Vice-captain: Calvert-Lewin

Ordered bench: 1. Verbruggen (GKP) 2. Slater 3. Mitchell 4. Calafiori

Chips: action is save — no valued chip is recommended this GW; the projected schedule favours later opportunities (e.g. Bench Boost GW15, Triple Captain GW16, Free Hit GW14, all provisional). Wildcard remains unassessed.

Note: later-GW moves in the plan (GW10–12 buys/sells) are provisional, not actions to take now. Nothing is executed — you'd make these transfers yourself in the game.
