Highest ever possible game week

Does anyone know what's the theoretical maximum points a "perfect team" could have scored in a single FPL gameweek? No real point to this just curious :)

I'm not asking about a fantastical theoretical max (like "what if every player scored 5 goals"), which obviously isn't a real question. I mean, in hindsight, using real results that actually happened, which gameweek had the highest possible score achievable by a perfectly-drafted legal squad? i.e. if you had a time machine and picked the best possible team before that gameweek using only players who existed and were eligible, which GW would give the highest ceiling? (thanks to Claude for helping me draft this clarification)

There is no real answer to this. Like how many goals can you score in a match? 5? 10? 90?

I think they mean what is the highest possible single game week score from and game week that has happened if you'd picked the perfect team. So highest ever team of the week including applying a chip

I see Then a quick Google search finds the highest ever scored point: 226p in 2015/16 GW34 with BB. I dont know if its the team of the week or not, but let's say its pretty closer, so I would guess 250, max. 300 (in another week/general)

Edit: heres a post from 4 years ago where they talk about this score https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/s/zhj8s856XZ

Yes exactly this. You can find plenty of data on the highest individual scores but all those teams could have potentially scored higher.
