Team of the week — GW8
In gameweek 8 (Fri 23 Oct to Sun 25 Oct 2026), the best legal Fantasy Premier League XI scored 128 points, and the top scorer was Gabriel with 17.
The highest-scoring legal XI of gameweek 8, worth 128 points. Formation rules apply, so this is a side someone could actually have picked — not simply the eleven top scorers.
How the model did
The model's own XI returned 61 points against a projection of 60 — almost exactly what it expected. 2 of its picks made the perfect XI.
Low overlap isn’t a failing. The perfect XI is built from whoever happened to haul, and a projection is an average across outcomes rather than a bet on an explosion. Whether the model’s own XI scored close to what it projected is the more telling number — that’s the claim it actually makes.
Everyone who scored
The full gameweek, not just the XI — including the players who just missed out, which is where the selection actually gets interesting.
