Points: 49 · FPL avg: 46 · vs avg: +3 · Cumulative: +111 · Predicted: 68.1 xPts · Chip: — · Hits: 0 · Bank: £2.3m · FT: 1
The model significantly overpredicted at 68.1 xPts against 49 actual, driven by a defensive haul that failed to materialise and Bruno Fernandes returning -1 points, but the squad still edged the week’s average by 3 courtesy of solid returns from Senesi and the captain. Captaining Semenyo for 14 points was defensible given his 7.9 xPts projection, but the vice-captain Haaland’s 16-point blank was the standout miss — swapping the armband would have added roughly 18 points to the total. No transfers and no chip kept flexibility intact, and the +3 week extends the cumulative lead to +111.
(No transfers this week.)
