Question
Using the full model over GW9 to GW12, set the transfer threshold to 1000 points and allow no hits. Should I transfer or hold for GW9? Give the gain, threshold and captain, and explain whether the hold option forbids transfers in every later GW.
Answer
completed trace 9ce251ccVerdict for GW9: HOLD — no transfer. (Full model, GW9–GW12; frozen snapshot 28 Oct 2026, target GW9.)
- Projected gain from transferring: 3.78 points
- Your threshold: 1000 points
- Result: make_transfers = false — the gain falls far below the threshold, so the selected action is HOLD
- Captain: Haaland (£15.8m), vice-captain Calvert-Lewin
- Starting XI EP: 45.61 points
Chip decision: action = save. No valued chip is recommended now; the projected schedule favours later opportunities (Triple Captain provisionally GW16, Bench Boost GW15, Free Hit GW14). Wildcard remains unassessed.
Bench order (as returned): Dubravka, Mitchell, Calafiori, João Pedro.
Does the hold forbid transfers in every later GW? No. The hold plan forbids transfers in the first gameweek only — GW9. It does not lock you out of the rest of the horizon.
The plan does include provisional moves for later weeks, but these are forward-looking plans, not instructions to act now:
- GW10: buy Raya, Gabriel, Barry, Mbeumo; sell Calafiori, João Pedro, B.Fernandes, Dubravka (captain Gabriel)
- GW11: buy Vuskovic; sell van Ewijk (captain Haaland)
- GW12: buy Khalaili; sell Gvardiol (captain Calvert-Lewin)
All are zero-hit moves and will change once you make transfers or team news shifts — re-run before each deadline. Note Calafiori (75% chance, hip) and João Pedro (thigh, unknown return) are flagged, which is what the GW10 plan is addressing.
One practical caveat on the threshold: at 1000 points you have set a bar no realistic transfer can clear, so this recommendation is effectively always HOLD. If you want the model to actually weigh up moves, a threshold in the region of 1–3 points is more informative.
