The model underestimated this gameweek by 10 points, with overperformance driven by B. Fernandes and Senesi combining for 19 actual points against a combined xPts of 10.1, and the Neto-to-Anthony transfer paying off immediately with a 10-point return against a 5.7 projection. Haaland captained solidly at 9 points (6.3 xPts), though the doubled return was modest by his standards and left points on the table given Anthony’s vice-captain performance matched him exactly. The main sting was Richarlison’s 9-point haul rotting on the bench — a reminder that bench depth created real opportunity cost despite the 70-point total.
