Transfers
Reasoning: Cherki out, projects only 14.3 points over 5 weeks. Thomas out, calf injury - 50% chance of playing, projects only 15.5 points over 5 weeks. Gakpo (LIV, £7.1m) projects 21.4 points over the next 5 weeks; next: CRY (A), then MUN (H), then EVE (A); no rival owns him, so he gains ground on the league if he scores. Van Hecke is owned by 62% of the world's best managers (closing a template gap). Van Hecke (TOT, £5.0m) projects 24.4 points over the next 5 weeks; next: LEE (A), then IPS (H), then SUN (A); 4 of 12 rivals already own him. costs a 4 point hit, only worth it if the gain holds up

Why, confidence and risks
Ren is 12th of 13 in Velocita FC, 135 points behind Stranger Mings with 29 gameweeks left; the gap is now serious, so the plan deliberately favours differentials over safe picks. Cherki out, projects only 14.3 points over 5 weeks. Thomas out, calf injury - 50% chance of playing, projects only 15.5 points over 5 weeks. Gakpo (LIV, £7.1m) projects 21.4 points over the next 5 weeks; next: CRY (A), then MUN (H), then EVE (A); no rival owns him, so he gains ground on the league if he scores. Van Hecke is owned by 62% of the world's best managers (closing a template gap). Van Hecke (TOT, £5.0m) projects 24.4 points over the next 5 weeks; next: LEE (A), then IPS (H), then SUN (A); 4 of 12 rivals already own him. costs a 4 point hit, only worth it if the gain holds up. Haaland takes the armband for the best mix of expected points and goal threat this week (6.8 points expected, on penalties, NFO (A)). Your bench projects 13.6 points this week and everyone looks likely to play. Worth considering Bench Boost, but it is your call; the system never plays chips for you.
High confidence (88%): data fresh, squad healthy, clear best option
