Exactly as recorded in the pre-deadline snapshot (17 Sept, 04:09 UTC) — player values are projected points at decision time, not tonight's projections. The squad only changes at the next lock.

From GW3 onward every chip is scored before each deadline and played only when it clears its bar (GW1 and GW2 carry no chip evaluation — a process gap the decision log states rather than hides). Wildcard and free hit are judged on points gained over an explicit counterfactual — what free transfers would have recovered anyway. Triple captain and bench boost are judged against what this squad actually achieves in a typical week, because a projection is an average, not a haul: a double gameweek shows up as a large multiple and fires them. Bars ease as a chip nears its final eligible gameweek, so nothing expires unused.

How Metis FC works
Unlike the Metis Fantasy 11 — which rebuilds the best legal squad from scratch every gameweek — Metis FC lives with its history: purchase prices, selling prices, bank, free transfers, hits and chips all persist. Before each deadline the model solves for the best legal action from its exact current state over a multi-gameweek horizon, and the decision is persisted in an immutable snapshot before the deadline passes. Hard FPL rules (budget, selling prices, squad shape, three per club, chip state) are enforced in deterministic code.
2026/27 season note
2026/27 season note — the dedicated Metis FC entry was not registered before the opening deadline. The model-selected starting squad was independently entered in a private FPL account and is used as the season's initial state. From GW2 onward, Metis FC decisions are generated and timestamped by the model with no retrospective overrides; the private account did not follow the GW2 decision, so from that point Metis FC is scored from official player scores and carries no real-world overall rank. Personal account details are not published.
