GW23 Replay

Points: 58  ·  FPL avg: 44  ·  vs avg: +14  ·  Cumulative: +575  ·  Predicted: 64.7 xPts  ·  Chip: —  ·  Hits: 0  ·  Bank: £9.3m  ·  FT: 1

The model projected 64.7 points but the squad returned 58, with the shortfall driven by a cluster of defensive and midfield blanks — Gabriel, Collins, and Rice all returned just 1 point against xPts of 4.6, 5.1, and 5.7 respectively. The captain call on Bowen was the standout, delivering 12 points against an xPts of 7.2, and the Bruno G. to Semenyo transfer added incremental value with an 8-point return. Despite the model overshoot, the squad still beat the FPL average by 14 points, extending the cumulative advantage to +575.
