Question
Which players in my frozen squad have status d or i, and what does their recorded news say? Does a d flag guarantee that the player will miss GW9?
Answer
completed trace bb143377Snapshot: 28 Oct 2026 (21:26 UTC), season 2026-27, target GW9 (deadline 31 Oct 2026, 11:00 UTC)
Players with status d or i
1. Calafiori (DEF, Arsenal, £6.0m) — status d
- News: "Hip injury - 75% chance of playing"
- GW8: 22 minutes, 1 point (a drop from 90 mins in GW7)
- Model projection for GW9: ~2.2 expected points
2. João Pedro (FWD, Chelsea, £7.8m) — status i
- News: "Thigh injury - Unknown return date"
- GW8: 0 minutes, 0 points (also 0 minutes in GW5)
- Model projection for GW9: ~0.07 expected points
All other 13 squad players are status a (available).
Does a d flag guarantee he misses GW9?
No — and in Calafiori's case it clearly points the other way.
d(doubtful) means exactly what the news says: a 75% chance of playing. It signals a risk of missing the fixture, not a certainty. Calafiori is a probable starter, and the model's ~2.2 expected-point projection for GW9 is built on the assumption that he plays (albeit a reduced or uncertain contribution).i(injured) is a firmer flag, but even here it doesn't guarantee a missed GW9. "Unknown return date" means the return timing is unconfirmed — it does not tell you whether he's back for this weekend. The near-zero projection (~0.07) reflects the model's very low assessment of his availability for GW9, but that's a model estimate, not a confirmed absence.
Practical takeaway: treat the news strings as the authority here — Calafiori is likely to play, João Pedro is unlikely to be a GW9 pick. If you want a swap plan for João Pedro, I can run the recommendation tool and check the transfer options for that slot.
