^this. I can test, go horribly because my heads not into it, test 2 days later and absolutely smash it.
For next season I'd like to find an alternative that works out my threshold via different training sessions rather than relying on a single test - isn't there something out there, Xert or something?

Yep, both Xert and WKO4 attempt to provide a mathematically modelled FTP based on your ride history/PD curve.
As ever, this will work ok for some and be miles off for others. They also require feeding with 'good' data. So, maximal numbers at various points along the PD curve and without good data can spit out numbers that aren't true.
TTM
If it's only your second ever FTP test, you're likely to have got better at doing the test.
