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.
Answer
completed trace 0300c3a1Transfer for GW9 — the full-model recommendation over GW9–12 says make transfers now (snapshot dated 28 October 2026, target GW9, season 2026-27).
Gain vs threshold
- Projected gain: 3.78 points (plan objective 183.5 vs hold objective 179.7)
- Threshold: 2.0 points
- The gain exceeds the threshold, so the verdict is to transfer, with 0 hits taken.
What the gain covers: it is the difference between the recommended transfer plan and holding, measured across the whole four-gameweek horizon, GW9 to GW12 — not just GW9's points. The GW9 starting XI is projected at 48.6 expected points on its own.
Immediate GW9 transfers (buys → sells)
- In: Raya (Arsenal, GKP, £6.2m), Barry (Everton, FWD, £5.6m), Mbeumo (Man Utd, MID, £7.9m)
- Out: João Pedro (Chelsea, FWD, £7.8m — injured), B.Fernandes (Man Utd, MID, £11.7m), Dubravka (Spurs, GKP, £4.0m)
Starting XI (3-4-3)
- GKP: Raya
- DEF: Gvardiol, Davis, van Ewijk
- MID: Mbeumo, Rogers, Ødegaard, Groß
- FWD: Haaland, Calvert-Lewin, Barry
Captain: Haaland | Vice-captain: Calvert-Lewin
Ordered bench: Verbruggen (GKP), Slater (MID), Mitchell (DEF), Calafiori (DEF — flagged with a hip injury, 75% chance of playing)
Chip decision: Save — no valued chip is recommended this GW; the projected schedule favours later opportunities. Wildcard remains unassessed.
Note: the GW10–12 moves in the plan (e.g. Gabriel in for Calafiori in GW10) are provisional plans only, not actions to take now — rerun after transfers or team news.
