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 423ea639HOLD for GW9. The recommendation's verdict is make_transfers: false, so the selected action is no transfer for GW9.
- Projected gain from the proposed transfer plan: 3.78 expected points
- Threshold you set: 1000 points
- Verdict: the gain is far below your threshold, so the plan is rejected and the action is HOLD
- Captain for GW9: Haaland (Man City), vice-captain Calvert-Lewin
- Hits: none allowed; GW9 plan takes 0 hits
- Chip decision:
save— no valued chip is recommended now. Wildcard is unassessed; the Free Hit opportunity (best projected in GW14) would need transfer-plan review since it changes and then restores the squad.
Does the hold option forbid transfers in every later GW? No. The hold plan forbids transfers in the first GW only — GW9. Later GWs in the returned plan are provisional plans, not actions to take now: GW10 buys Raya, Gabriel, Barry and Mbeumo for Calafiori, João Pedro, B.Fernandes and Dubravka; GW11 buys Vuskovic for van Ewijk; GW12 buys Khalaili for Gvardiol. These are indicative and should be re-run closer to each deadline.
All figures are from the frozen snapshot of 28 October 2026, target GW9, full model over GW9–GW12. Projections are estimates, not guarantees. No transfers or chips have been executed.
