What FPLai Learned From 2025/26
This is the honest review page: what signals deserved more weight, where FPL managers overreacted, and how the 2026/27 preseason workflow should be stricter because of it.
Captaincy lesson
Safety still matters most when the obvious captain has a strong role and fixture. Chasing upside works better after the baseline is understood.
Transfer lesson
Sideways moves need a high bar. The summer workflow should reward structural improvements more than player-for-player noise.
Ownership lesson
High ownership is information, not proof. The 2026/27 pages should separate template safety from actual upside.
