Why this plan
Reconstructive replay for 2025/26 Gameweek 15. The optimiser captained Haaland (vice Mbeumo), formation 3-5-2, and made one transfer (Gabriel out, Guéhi in). It scored 55 net points after hits. Pre-cutoff objective was 68.1 expected points.
Transfers
Gabriel out (£6.2m) → Guéhi in (£5.1m). Selected by this approach at the reconstructed cutoff.
- Transfers: Gabriel to Guéhi.
- 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.

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 | B.Fernandes (M.Salah) | 0 | 52.6 | — | 78 | 78 pts net |
Optimiser (selected) Gabriel → Guéhi | 3-5-2 | Haaland (Mbeumo) | 1 | 68.1 | -23.0 | 55 | 55 pts net |
Evidence Gabriel → Guéhi | 3-5-2 | Haaland (Mbeumo) | 1 | 68.1 | -23.0 | 55 | 55 pts net |
Chip check
