How this team is picked

Every week this one team does exactly what Pitch Gaffer's planner advises: up to three transfers over a six-gameweek view (−4 for each extra), then the best XI and captain for the next gameweek. FPL rules for free transfers, bank and selling prices; no chips. From GW7 each team is locked automatically in the hours before the deadline and never changed afterwards.
