Answer

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.

Verdict: transfer. Using the full model over GW9–GW12 with a 2.0-point threshold and no hits, make_transfers is true.

GW9 immediate moves

Buy: Raya (£6.2m, Arsenal) — GKP; Barry (£5.6m, Everton) — FWD; Mbeumo (£7.9m, Man Utd) — MID
Sell: João Pedro (£7.8m, Chelsea) — FWD; B.Fernandes (£11.7m, Man Utd) — MID; Dubravka (£4.0m, Spurs) — GKP

Objective

Plan gain: 3.78 expected points versus holding
Threshold: 2.0 — so the gain clears the bar
The gain is the difference between the transfer plan's and the hold plan's total objective across all four gameweeks, GW9 to GW12 combined (discounted, including bench weighting and zero hit penalties). It is not a GW9-only gain.
GW9 hits: 0

GW9 starting XI

Pos	Player
GKP	Raya
DEF	Gvardiol
DEF	Davis
DEF	van Ewijk
MID	Mbeumo
MID	Rogers
MID	Ødegaard
MID	Groß
FWD	Haaland
FWD	Calvert-Lewin
FWD	Barry

Captain: Haaland
Vice-captain: Calvert-Lewin
Bench (in order): Verbruggen, Slater, Mitchell, Calafiori
Projected GW9 starting-XI EP: 48.63 (estimate, excludes chip effects)

Calafiori is flagged (hip, 75% chance of playing) and is on the bench in this plan.

Chips: save — no valued chip is recommended now; the schedule favours later windows. Wildcard is unassessed.

Provisional later moves (not actions for GW9): GW10 Gabriel in / Calafiori out; GW11 Vuskovic in / van Ewijk out; GW12 Khalaili in / Gvardiol out. These are model plans only.

Snapshot: 28 October 2026, season 2026-27, target GW9. Projections are estimates, not guarantees.
