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 2026-10-28, target GW9, full model, GW9–GW12 horizon, no hits).

Gain: +3.8 pts vs threshold: 2.0 — the gain clears the threshold, so the model recommends making the transfers.
What the gain covers: the whole GW9–GW12 horizon, not just GW9. It is the difference between the transfer plan's objective (183.5) and the hold objective (179.7) across all four gameweeks, including GW discounting, bench weighting and hit penalties. The hold plan forbids transfers in GW9 only.

Immediate GW9 transfers (0 hits):

Buy: Raya (Arsenal, GKP, £6.2m), Barry (Everton, FWD, £5.6m), Mbeumo (Man Utd, MID, £7.9m)
Sell: Dubravka (Spurs, GKP, £4.0m), João Pedro (Chelsea, FWD, £7.8m — injured), B.Fernandes (Man Utd, MID, £11.7m)

GW9 starting XI (est. 48.6 pts): Raya; Gvardiol, Davis, van Ewijk; Mbeumo, Rogers, Ødegaard, Groß; Haaland, Calvert-Lewin, Barry

Captain: Haaland (Man City)
Vice-captain: Calvert-Lewin (Leeds)
Bench (in order): 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 (Triple Captain GW16, Bench Boost GW15, Free Hit GW14, all provisional). Wildcard remains unassessed.

Note: the GW10–GW12 transfer steps in the plan (e.g. Gabriel in for Calafiori in GW10) are provisional, not actions to take now, and nothing has been executed.
