Gameweek 6 deadline…
The highest-projected legal squad for GW5–9, within budget and the three-per-club limit. Swap anyone and every figure re-computes.
Bench points count only if a starter does not play, so the optimiser weights them lightly rather than spending real money there.
Chosen from 192 players who are currently available and have enough minutes history to project. Flagged and untested players are excluded, because an optimal squad full of players who will not start is worse than no suggestion at all.
This maximises projected points including the captain's double. It is a decision aid, not an oracle: it knows nothing about a manager's press conference, and every input is last season's form until this season has some of its own.
