GW Points: 87 · Overall Rank: 3,282,264 · Bench pts: 38 · Chip: Free Hit
87 points is a solid haul but the 38 bench points left unused is the real story, suggesting squad depth was strong enough that the limiting factor was selection rather than ownership. The captain call on Rayan (11pts vs 6.02 xPts) was defensible by the model but Groß at 16pts was the better in-squad option in hindsight, leaving 5 points on the table from that decision alone. Gibbs-White’s 20pts is the most frustrating miss — the model’s 5.0 xPts underrated him but the form flag was visible pre-GW, making him a missed differential rather than a genuine surprise; Justin and Watkins were more speculative, with only a form signal on Justin and no particular indicator for Watkins.
