What matters in this GW1 snapshot
01
Final draft, not transfers. GW1 squad changes were unlimited before the first deadline, so the optimiser ran from scratch rather than treating the auto-pick squad as a transfer baseline.
02
Manual input was explicit. Dubravka, Kusi-Asare, Scarlett, Neave and Guehi were excluded after team-news/minutes checks, and Beto was locked to avoid a dead no-history bench forward.
03
Main model caveat. Preseason fallback is still active, and Anderson/Senesi carry new-club minutes risk because their projection inherits old-club minutes history.
