> GW10: 88 points spent on transfer hits. The patient won anyway, which is unbearable.

Gameweek 10, 2026-27: 794 managers in 25 public mini-leagues covered by Fantasy Pundit averaged 56.7 points. The highest score was 103 and the leader changed in 5 of 24 leagues.

## The scores: What the week was worth

- Average Gameweek score: 56.7
- Median score: 57.0
- Highest score: 103
- Lowest score: 4

The best week in the sample beat the worst by 99 points. Both managers will describe theirs as “process”.

## The table: Who moved, and who merely talked about it

- Leagues with a new leader: 5 of 24
- Weekly top scorer already led the league: 4 of 25
- Biggest climb: 63 places
- Biggest fall: 50 places

Somewhere, a manager dropped 50 places in a single Gameweek and is now calling it a long-term project.

## The gaps: How close it is at the top

- Median lead at the top: 16.0 points
- Leagues led by 10 points or fewer: 8 of 25
- Average top-to-bottom gap in a league: 43.8 points
- Widest top-to-bottom gap: 91 points

A ten-point lead is one captain decision. Nobody at the top is relaxed, whatever they say in the group chat.

## Week on week: Transfer hits and form swings

- Managers with consecutive editions: 288 in 19 leagues
- Took a transfer hit: 20 of 288 (7%)
- Points spent on hits: 88
- Hit-takers’ average before deductions: 64.0
- Hit-takers’ average after deductions: 59.6
- Everyone else’s average: 59.8
- Biggest week-on-week rise: 51 points
- Biggest week-on-week drop: 25 points

After paying for their transfers, hit-takers averaged 59.6 against 59.8 for everyone else. Patience remains annoyingly effective.

## Methodology

- Sample: This is a sample of public classic leagues that use Fantasy Pundit, not all FPL managers. 28 published league editions were considered; 25 leagues and 794 distinct managers are included. A manager in more than one sampled league counts once.
- Exclusions: 3 editions came from leagues with fewer than 4 managers.
- Gameweek score: Official FPL Gameweek points as shown in the league table, before transfer deductions.
- New leader: The manager or managers ranked first after the Gameweek differ from those ranked first before it.
- Lead and gaps: Lead at the top is the gap in total points between first and second. A league’s top-to-bottom gap is its highest minus its lowest Gameweek score.
- Transfer hits: Derived from consecutive published editions of the same league: previous total plus this Gameweek’s points minus the new total. Values that are not a multiple of four are excluded. Reported only with at least 5 leagues and 50 managers.
- Thresholds: Issues are published only with at least 10 leagues and 100 managers.
- Data source: The official Fantasy Premier League API (public classic-league standings), as captured in each league’s published Fantasy Pundit edition. No AI model produced any figure.
- Privacy: No league, manager or team names or IDs are published, and nothing here identifies a single league.
- Frozen: Sample closed and figures frozen on 12 November 2026. Published issues are never recalculated. Methodology hindsight-v1.
