Gameweek 27 · April 14, 2026

GW27 Replay

Points: 50  ·  FPL avg: 45  ·  vs avg: +5  ·  Cumulative: +600  ·  Predicted: 73.6 xPts  ·  Chip: —  ·  Hits: 0  ·  Bank: £5.6m  ·  FT: 1

The model badly overestimated this gameweek, projecting 73.6 xPts against an actual return of just 50, with the damage concentrated at the top of the lineup — captain Thiago returned only 2 points against a 7.7 xPts projection, and vice-captain Wirtz blanked entirely and was auto-subbed out for Mané. The Virgil transfer was the clearest bright spot, delivering 11 points on a 6.0 xPts projection and partially offsetting the captaincy disaster. Beating the FPL average by 5 points in a week where both captaincy options failed points to reasonable squad depth, and the cumulative +600 edge remains intact.
