Why this plan
Reconstructive replay for 2025/26 Gameweek 13. The optimiser captained M.Salah (vice Muñoz), formation 3-5-2, and made one transfer (Pedro Porro out, Muñoz in). It scored 36 net points after hits. Pre-cutoff objective was 67.2 expected points.
Transfers
Pedro Porro out (£5.5m) → Muñoz in (£5.8m). Selected by this approach at the reconstructed cutoff.
- Transfers: Pedro Porro to Muñoz.
- 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.
