But if that's the case, I still do not buy that he didn't see anything about what harm his plan was gonna bring to his friends. Whether he could've changed their fates or not. But it also shows how much he's screwed up by not telling anyone about what he saw in his visions. A costly mistake. Are their deaths just another cog in his plans? Especially if that theory about not dodging Gabi's shot holds water? Because we all know what happened in order for her to get to that point where she blew his head off and bam, landed him in the palm of Zeke's hand.

This time loop is so badly ill-advised in its application to this story due to the aforementioned questions and so many more it raises. Eren can't see the whole future. And even if he did see something specific he might want to stop (like Sasha's death) and try to prevent it, his actions would only contribute to making the future happen exactly as he saw it. That's the nature of a fixed time loop.

Thinking about from another angle, he can't possibly see something that doesn't end up happening because in that case he wouldn't have seen it in the first place due it not actually happening in the future, which is all he can see.
