Asked during eval run step19e-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 504cde61Verdict for GW9: HOLD (make_transfers is false). Snapshot dated 28 October 2026, target GW9, full model, horizon GW9–GW12.
- Gain: 3.78 points — the best transfer plan beats the hold plan by 3.78 points, but that is far below the threshold of 1000 points, so no transfers are recommended for GW9.
- Captain: Haaland (Man City), with Calvert-Lewin as vice-captain.
- Chip decision: Save — no valued chip is recommended this GW; the projected schedule favours later opportunities. Wildcard remains unassessed.
Does holding forbid transfers in every later GW? No. The hold plan forbids transfers in the first GW only. The later GWs are provisional plans, not actions to take now:
- GW10: buy Raya, Gabriel, Barry, Mbeumo; sell Calafiori, João Pedro, B.Fernandes, Dubravka (captain: Gabriel)
- GW11: buy Vuskovic; sell van Ewijk (captain: Haaland)
- GW12: buy Khalaili; sell Gvardiol (captain: Calvert-Lewin)
All of these are hit-free. Rerun the recommendation after GW9 results and team news, as the plans assume the current squad and availability.
