Asked during eval run step19d-glm-5-3-cloud-t0-r1 · case recommendation-high-threshold-hold · snapshot GW9
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 fc0817e4Hold for GW9 — the recommendation is not to make transfers this gameweek (snapshot of 28 October 2026, target GW9, full model, GW9–GW12, no hits allowed).
- Gain: 3.78 points (the best transfer plan beats the hold plan by 3.78 over the horizon)
- Threshold: 1,000 points — the gain falls far short, so the selected action is HOLD
- Captain: Haaland (vice-captain: Calvert-Lewin)
Does holding forbid transfers in later GWs? No. The hold plan forbids transfers in the first GW only (GW9). The later GWs in the plan are provisional, not actions to take now — the model still proposes transfers for GW10–12, such as buying Raya, Gabriel, Barry and Mbeumo in GW10, Vuskovic in GW11 and Khalaili in GW12, all with no hits.
Chip decision: Save — no valued chip is recommended now, as the projected schedule favours later opportunities (Triple Captain GW16, Bench Boost GW15, Free Hit GW14, all provisional). Wildcard remains unassessed.
These are model projections, not guarantees, and the later-GW plans assume the current squad and availability, so they should be reviewed after team news.
