Why this plan
Reconstructive replay for 2025/26 Gameweek 10. The optimiser captained M.Salah (vice Gabriel), formation 3-5-2, and made 2 transfers (Reijnders out, Mbeumo in; Watkins out, Woltemade in). It scored 65 net points after hits. Pre-cutoff objective was 67.8 expected points.
Transfers
Reijnders out (£5.6m) → Mbeumo in (£8.0m). Selected by this approach at the reconstructed cutoff.
Watkins out (£8.6m) → Woltemade in (£7.4m). Selected by this approach at the reconstructed cutoff.
- Transfers: Reijnders to Mbeumo; Watkins to Woltemade.
- Evidence-informed finished +0 points versus the optimiser this week.
- Fixtures come from the final season export, so mid-season revisions are not in this snapshot.
- The cutoff is reconstructed as first kickoff minus 90 minutes, not the live FPL deadline clock.
- No private manager state (exact bank, selling prices, chip timing) was archived at the time.
This is a reconstructive historical replay, not a live two-hour freeze. Inputs were rebuilt after the season; see Methods and the limitations on this page.
Limitations of this snapshot
- Fixtures come from the final season export, so mid-season revisions are not in this snapshot.
- The cutoff is reconstructed as first kickoff minus 90 minutes, not the live FPL deadline clock.
- No private manager state (exact bank, selling prices, chip timing) was archived at the time.
- Press and injury notes were not locked before the deadline.
- Prices are not exact pre-deadline quotes.
- Raw community xP tables were not used as the pre-deadline forecast.
Three approaches compared
Template (roll transfers), optimiser (selected plan), and same-state evidence. In this ingest, evidence matched the optimiser every week.
| Approach | Formation | Captain | Transfers | Projected | vs Template | Points | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Template No transfers | 4-4-2 | M.Salah (João Pedro) | 0 | 58.6 | — | 55 | 55 pts net |
Optimiser (selected) Reijnders → Mbeumo, Watkins → Woltemade | 3-5-2 | M.Salah (Gabriel) | 2 | 67.8 | +10.0 | 65 | 65 pts net |
Evidence Reijnders → Mbeumo, Watkins → Woltemade | 3-5-2 | M.Salah (Gabriel) | 2 | 67.8 | +10.0 | 65 | 65 pts net |
Chip check
No chip was played. The 2025/26 reconstructive path left Wildcard, Free Hit, Triple Captain and Bench Boost unused, including in Gameweek 34 when both the optimiser and the template took an 8-point hit in a blank.
