The captain Haaland’s 8 points counted twice.

Sealed Before the Deadline

The squad was sealed at 2026-10-23T11:32:14.814Z, before the deadline, into a public hash chain (the seal), and scored afterwards with FPL’s points — never re-picked. The full receipt, with the table by position, is on the Gameweek 8 page; how the projections have scored beside FPL’s own is on the accuracy page.

How the TACTIX model’s published calls have scored is on the accuracy page; the running record is on the scoreboard, and the method is on the methodology page.
