Answer

Question

Compare Fernandes with Haaland for GW9. By Fernandes I do not necessarily mean the player in my squad, and I have not specified his first name, club or element ID.

Snapshot: 28 October 2026, target GW9 (frozen data, model: shrunk_blend)

One clarification first: the only Fernandes in my available data is Bruno Fernandes (B.Fernandes, Man Utd, MID, £11.7m, element 426) — the one in your squad. I have no tool to search for other Fernandes players (e.g. a different first name or club), so the comparison below is for him. If you meant someone else, give me his element ID and I'll re-run it.

	B.Fernandes (Man Utd)	Haaland (Man City)
Price	£11.7m	£15.8m
GW9 projected points	2.62	6.70
Behind best	−4.09	best

Recent observed points (GW4–8):

B.Fernandes: 2, 2, 1, 1, 0 (no goals or assists; 0 minutes in GW8)
Haaland: 9, 6, 6, 13, 8 (a goal in every one of those five GWs)

Haaland is clearly the stronger GW9 pick on the projection: an estimated 6.70 expected points against 2.62, a gap of 4.09. These are model estimates, not guarantees. B.Fernandes has also blanked in each of his last five recorded appearances, whereas Haaland has returned in all five.

Note this is a player-level comparison only — I haven't factored in their GW9 fixtures because the fixture-outlook tool needs a club ID and I don't have one to hand for Man Utd or Man City.
