Points: 57 · FPL avg: 43 · vs avg: +14 · Cumulative: +636 · Predicted: 55.5 xPts · Chip: — · Hits: 0 · Bank: £6.3m · FT: 1
The model called this gameweek almost perfectly, forecasting 55.5 xPts against an actual 57, with Gabriel the standout over-performer at 9 points against a 4.3 projection. The Szoboszlai transfer proved immediately correct — 11 points on debut in the squad — though his vice-captaincy means those points weren’t doubled, and the captain pick in Thiago returned a modest 6, close to his 5.6 xPts ceiling. The main sting came from the bench, where B.Fernandes sat out with 10 points while multiple starters including Rice, Semenyo, Anderson, and Alderete all underperformed their projections significantly.
