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.

Answer

completed trace 87312e1d

Snapshot – frozen data as of 28 Oct 2026, target GW 9.
Model – “full”, horizon 4 gameweeks (GW 9 → GW 12).
Transfer rule – 2‑point gain threshold, no free transfers (max 0 hits).

Decision Reason
Transfer The model predicts a gain of 3.78 points over the GW 9‑12 horizon, which exceeds the 2‑point threshold. Holding would give an objective of 179.74 pts versus 183.52 pts with the transfers.

Immediate GW 9 transfer plan

Action Player (ID) Club Position Price (£m)
Buy 1 – Raya Arsenal GK 6.2
249 – Barry Everton FWD 5.6
427 – Mbeumo Man Utd MID 7.9
Sell 165 – João Pedro Chelsea FWD 7.8 (injured)
426 – B. Fernandes Man Utd MID 11.7
497 – Dubravka Spurs GK 4.0

Starting XI for GW 9 (after the above transfers)

Position Player (ID) Club
GK 1 – Raya Arsenal
DEF 391 – Gvardiol Man City
305 – Davis Ipswich
175 – van Ewijk Coventry
427 – Mbeumo Man Utd
MID 40 – Rogers Chelsea
15 – Ødegaard Arsenal
124 – Groß Brighton
411 – Haaland Man City
FWD 346 – Calvert‑Lewin Leeds
249 – Barry Everton

Expected points for this line‑up (GW 9‑12): 48.63.

Captain & Vice‑captain (GW 9)

  • Captain: 411 – Erling Haaland (Man City)
  • Vice‑captain: 346 – Calvert‑Lewin (Leeds)

Bench order (GW 9)

  1. 109 – Verbruggen (Brighton) – GK
  2. 290 – Slater (Hull City) – MID
  3. 204 – Mitchell (Crystal Palace) – DEF
  4. 8 – Calafiori (Arsenal) – DEF (currently 75 % chance of playing)

What the gain covers

The 3.78‑point gain is the additional expected points the squad will earn across the four‑gameweek window GW 9, 10, 11 and 12 compared with simply holding the current squad (no transfers). It includes projected points for the starting XI, bench weighting and the effect of the transfers, but excludes any chip bonuses (the chip decision for this GW is “save”).

Bottom line: Transfer the three players listed above, set the line‑up, captain Haaland and vice‑captain Calvert‑Lewin, and keep the bench as ordered. This action meets the 2‑point threshold and is expected to add roughly 3.8 points over GW 9‑12.
