Three things worth knowing

The league position

The team remains 11th, unchanged from the previous gameweek.

Beyond the armband

The leading supporting returns were De Cuyper 9, Rogers 9, Havertz 9. The effective armband supplied 4 counted points.

The management ledger

GW09 transfers in: none. The unused bench held 3 points.

The useful takeaway

The recorded result is -2.3 points against the league net average. Captaincy, transfers, automatic substitutions and unused bench points are reconciled to the collector record.

Final collector metrics for GW09 · generated 3 November 2026 (Ontario). Gross points are before transfer hits; net points deduct hits. Unused bench points exclude players whose points entered the XI through automatic substitutions. Wildcard and Free Hit transaction counts come from the transfer list because FPL records zero charged transfers for those chips. Official standing and season total are from the finalized league record. Fixture records remain marked finished_provisional by the FPL API.
