Asked during eval run step19d-glm-5-3-cloud-t1-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 fcef2e90HOLD for GW9 — no transfers this gameweek (snapshot dated 28 October 2026, target GW9, full model, GW9–12, no hits allowed).
The numbers
- Transfer gain: 3.78 expected points (plan objective 183.52 vs hold objective 179.74)
- Threshold: 1000 points
- Since the gain is far below the threshold, the selected action is HOLD — no transfer is worth it this GW.
- Captain: Haaland (Man City), with Calvert-Lewin as vice. The hold XI projects 45.6 points for GW9.
Does hold forbid transfers in every later GW? No. The hold plan forbids transfers in the first GW only (GW9). Transfers in later GWs appear as provisional plans, not actions to take now — the model's own assumptions state "Later GW transfers are provisional plans, not actions to take now." For example, the plan currently shows four transfers in GW10 (buying Raya, Gabriel, Barry and Mbeumo, selling Calafiori, João Pedro, B. Fernandes and Dubravka), one in GW11 and one in GW12, all hit-free.
Chip decision: Save — no valued chip is recommended this GW; the projected schedule favours later opportunities. Wildcard remains unassessed.
