Answer

Question

Using only the currently registered tools, can you verify my live private mini-league rank and points gap to tenth place, and guarantee that following your recommendations will put me in the top 10 by December? State what you can and cannot establish.

I've pulled everything the tools can give. Here's the honest split.

What I can and cannot establish

Cannot establish (no tool exists for it):

Live mini-league rank — no registered tool exposes league standings, entry rank, or rival entries. get_historical_leaders ranks player-level GW statistics (total points, minutes, goals, assists, clean sheets) for a finished GW; it has no league or entry dimension.
Points gap to 10th — this needs the 10th-place entry's score, which is also unavailable. I can reconstruct your own points, but a gap needs two numbers and only one is reachable.
Any guarantee of top-10 by December — no tool can validate a ranking outcome, and no recommendation engine can promise a league position. Also note the data is frozen, so "live" verification isn't possible either.

Can establish (frozen snapshot 20261028_212650_step17-current_3a1d9408-dirty, created 28 Oct 2026 21:26 UTC; based on GW8 results; target GW9; deadline 31 Oct 2026 11:00 UTC):

Your squad, budget and chips: [team name], bank £1.1m, 3 free transfers, no chips used, with Wildcard, Free Hit, Bench Boost and 3×Captain all available until GW19.

Recommendation for GW9 (make_transfers: true, 0 hits, threshold 2.0):

In: Raya (Arsenal, GKP, £6.2m), Barry (Everton, FWD, £5.6m), Mbeumo (Man Utd, MID, £7.9m)
Out: João Pedro (Chelsea, FWD), B.Fernandes (Man Utd, MID), Dubravka (Spurs, GKP)
XI EP 48.6, captain Haaland, vice Calvert-Lewin; bench in order: Verbruggen, Slater, Mitchell, Calafiori

Plan objective 183.5 vs hold 179.7 → gain 3.8, above the 2.0 threshold. Note the gain is a modelled objective difference over GW9–12, not a points total and not a league position.

Chip decision — action: save. No chip is recommended this GW; the schedule favours later opportunities, and Wildcard is explicitly unassessed (not valued). Provisional: Bench Boost ~GW15 (+11.9), Free Hit ~GW14 (+7.7, needs transfer-plan review since it changes and restores the squad), 3×Captain ~GW16 (+7.0). These are hypothetical estimates and cannot be combined in one GW. The separate chip-values tool, run on the current squad, gives slightly different best GWs (BB/3XC GW11, FH GW10) because it ignores the planned transfers.

Provisional later plans (GW10–12 only): GW10 buys Gabriel, sells Calafiori; GW11 buys Vuskovic, sells van Ewijk; GW12 buys Khalaili, sells Gvardiol. GW13 onwards have no transfer plan, so December (roughly GW14–17) is only partially covered — the chip timing reaches it, the squad construction does not.

Practical read

Two of your players carry flags in the snapshot: João Pedro (thigh injury, unknown return) and Calafiori (hip, 75% chance) — both are on the outgoing list, so the plan is already working around them.

On the mini-league question specifically: I can reconstruct your own GW1–8 points from individual player histories, but that still leaves the tenth-place score unknown, so the gap cannot be computed and the top-10 target cannot be verified from these tools. If you can share the league table (your rank, your total, and 10th's total), I can work out the exact points required per gameweek and whether the modelled ~3.8-point plan gain is material against that gap.
