Odd question, but hear me out

Little background: Relatively new cyclist (<1 year competing), endurance running background, decent ftp (upper 200s)
Is there any prescient for doing 4 week periodization cycles if my only goal right now is to improve FTP?
For example:
Week 1: Mon/Wed/Fri = Sweet spot, Tues/Thursday/Sun = Recovery, Sat = Endurance
Week 2: Mon/Wed/Fri = Threshold intervals, Tues/Thursday/Sun = Recovery, Sat = Endurance
Week 3: Mon/Wed/Fri = VO2 max/anaerobic capacity, Tues/Thursday/Sun = Recovery, Sat = Endurance
Week 4: Mon/Wed/Fri = Recovery, Tues/Thursday/Sun = Recovery, Sat = FTP Test
My theory is that this type of training would specifically target FTP and allow for stepwise progression from month to month without stagnation.
Thoughts?

Although I've no idea what you mean by prescient in the context of this question.0
