Frequently Asked Questions

FPL Analyzer is a free Fantasy Premier League analysis site at fpl-analyzer.com. It loads your squad and shows expected points (xPts) for every player, captain picks, transfer and chip planning, what the top 1,000 managers are doing, mini-league analysis, live Gameweek data and an AI assistant you can type or talk to.

All of its data comes live from the official Fantasy Premier League game, and the accuracy of its prediction models is published openly on the benchmarks page.

Yes. Every feature on the site is free for managers — there is no subscription, paid tier or paywall.

The only paid part is an optional API for automated AI agents, which pay a cent per request (see below). It never applies to people using the site.

The home page is open to everyone. To open the tools — My Team, Scout, Elite Meta, Mini League and the rest — you need a free FPL Analyzer account.

You can register with a username and password, or continue with Google, Apple or X. Your account is separate from your official FPL login: FPL Analyzer never asks for your FPL password.

You need to be at least 12 to use FPL Analyzer and at least 13 to have an account. The sign-in and register window asks you to tick a box confirming you are 13 or older, and the server checks that confirmation whenever an account is created. No date of birth is collected.

Open My Team and choose one of three ways:

• Manager ID — the quickest. On the official FPL site, open the Points page: your ID is the number in the web address (…/entry/123456/…).
• Upload screenshot — a screenshot of your FPL team. The vision model reads all 15 players and matches each one by name and price.
• Build manually — pick the players yourself.

Switching between them keeps what you already entered, and a failed load tells you why so you can try again.

Three views of the same data, chosen with the View switch at the top of the page:

• Simple — “just tell me what to do”: your squad on a pitch, the captain, quick transfers and plain-English advice.
• Normal — every key feature at one layer of depth on a single scrollable page.
• Pro — the full toolset, including multi-Gameweek planners, simulations and detailed breakdowns.

Changing view keeps your loaded squad. You can also open /simple or /normal directly.

Yes. FPL Analyzer works in any modern mobile browser, with a bottom dock for Home, My Team, Elite Meta, the Supercomputer and More. You can also install it to your home screen as an app (a PWA), and pages you have already visited open offline.

xPts (expected points) is how many FPL points a player is expected to score in a Gameweek. FPL Analyzer adds up the expected points from minutes, goals, assists, clean sheets, bonus and saves, minus cards.

Each projection comes from 10,000 simulated matches per fixture, built from the player's underlying numbers (such as xG and xA), likely minutes and the difficulty of the fixture. Small samples are pulled towards the average so a few lucky games do not distort a player's numbers.

The simulation is seeded, so the same FPL data always gives the same xPts — on the website, in the MCP server for AI assistants and in the benchmark archive.

Every model's accuracy is published on the benchmarks page: each forecast is locked before the deadline, then scored against the official FPL results once the Gameweek has finished. The page shows the share of forecasts that were close (within ±2 points for xPts), plus the average error (MAE and RMSE), Gameweek by Gameweek.

Gameweeks without a forecast locked before the deadline are never scored, because scoring them later would use hindsight. The results come from official FPL data, but the forecasting and scoring are run by FPL Analyzer itself — it is not an independent evaluation.

Once the official FPL site marks the previous Gameweek as finished, the next Gameweek's forecast is made from that final data and locked. It is never changed afterwards, so later team news cannot improve it.

The xPts you see on the site and through the MCP server keep updating with team news until the deadline. They match the benchmark forecast at the moment it is locked, and can move away from it afterwards.

From the official Fantasy Premier League game, live. Prices, ownership, fixtures, injuries and points are read directly from FPL, and live Gameweek pages refresh while matches are being played.

xG (expected goals) measures the quality of a player's chances: each shot is given the probability that a shot like it — same position, angle and type — becomes a goal. xA (expected assists) does the same for the chances a player creates.

In FPL, high xG and xA are a useful early sign of future returns. A player with high xG but few goals is often due more; one scoring far above his xG is likely to slow down.

An optional alternative to the official FPL fixture difficulty rating (FDR), switched on from your account (it is off by default). Instead of one rating per fixture, it rates the opponent from its last five Premier League matches:

• goalkeepers and defenders by the opponent's attack (goals scored per match), shown as A1–A5;
• midfielders and forwards by its defence (goals conceded per match), shown as D1–D5.

1 is easiest and 5 hardest. A match counts from full-time, and each fixture is adjusted for whether it is at home or away. Until a club has three completed matches the official FDR is used instead. When Position FDR is on, it also feeds xPts, captain picks and fixture tables.

FDR Changes works like FPL's Price Changes page, but for Position FDR. Predictions shows every club's attack and defence rating, how close each is to rising or dropping, and how likely it is to change after the club's next match. It also shows which old result is about to leave the five-match window — often what moves a rating. Recent FDR Changes lists the ratings that actually changed, with the match that came in and the one that dropped out.

A countdown shows when the next change can happen — the next full-time whistle — and the page refreshes every 15 minutes. No team needs to be loaded.

Because they answer slightly different questions. FDR Changes shows each club's overall rating, with home and away evened out. A player card shows the rating for one specific fixture, adjusted for its venue. Teams usually concede more away from home, so a club rated D2 overall can show as D1 on the card of a player hosting them, and D3 when they are at home.

After every Gameweek you get a review of your week: points against the average and the top score, rank movement, captain and bench points, the value of each transfer after hits and your chip.

In Beat the Supercomputer, the FPL Supercomputer picks a starting XI, bench order and captain from your own 15 players, using its forecasts locked before that deadline, so it has no hindsight. Every Gameweek you don't lose extends your unbeaten run, and a hat-trick of wins earns a Streak Wildcard that saves the run the next time you lose. Milestone badges and your run are shown in your account.

Elite Meta shows what the top 1,000 managers in the world own, start and captain. Elite Status tracks their live average points, transfers, hits, chips and squad value for the current Gameweek. Meta Squad turns their most-owned players into a legal 15-man squad, and you can compare your own team against the template.

Enter any classic league ID to see the table, this Gameweek's scores, every manager's transfers, chips and captains, rank movement, weekly awards, a deep dive on the league and a head-to-head comparison against several rivals at once. You can find the league ID in the address of the league's page on the official FPL site.

Yes, three ways:

• FPL Supercomputer chat — type questions about your team, players and fixtures; it knows your squad, bank and free transfers.
• Voice Mode — a real-time spoken conversation you can interrupt; every turn is also written into the chat.
• Assistant Manager call — a quick phone-style call. Nothing said on it is written down or stored.

The microphone is only ever used after you tap a voice button.

Yes, optional push notifications that arrive even with the site closed: overnight price changes, deadline reminders, your Gameweek review once points are final, and occasional FPL Analyzer news. Each one is switched on or off separately, per device, from your account. Your browser only asks for permission when you turn one on.

Yes. In your account you can choose each club's home, away or third kit (plus a few special editions), or let the kit follow the fixture. The free FPL Analyzer Chrome extension, downloadable from the account section, brings the same kits, optional FPL Analyzer-style player cards and Position FDR to the official FPL website. It reads only public FPL data and collects no personal data.

16 languages: English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, French, Arabic, Portuguese, Bengali, Urdu, Indonesian, German, Japanese, Nigerian Pidgin, Vietnamese, Turkish and Bulgarian. There are light and dark themes, and reduced-motion and higher-contrast settings are respected. See the accessibility statement for more.

Yes. FPL Analyzer runs a free MCP server at https://www.fpl-analyzer.com/mcp, which AI assistants such as Claude can connect to for live FPL data, xPts, captain picks, fixtures, mini-leagues and more. It uses the same xPts engine as the website. A plain-text summary for AI models is at /llms.txt.

An optional pay-per-request API for automated agents and bots, using the open x402 protocol: an agent pays $0.01 in USDC per request for xPts projections, captain picks or the top 1,000 managers' data, with no account or API key. Payment is only taken when the data is delivered. It has nothing to do with using the website, which stays free. Details are in /api.txt.

As little as it can. Analytics only run if you allow them in the cookie banner, and session recording has its own separate switch. For an account it stores your username and sign-in details, and only the time you confirmed you are 13 or older. The Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy have the full details, and you can change your choice at any time from Cookie Preferences in the footer.

No. FPL Analyzer is an independent tool. It uses public data from the official Fantasy Premier League game but is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the Premier League, Fantasy Premier League or any club. Transfers and team changes are still made on the official FPL site.

Different tools have different strengths, and many managers use more than one. FPLReview is best known for detailed multi-Gameweek transfer planning; Premier Fantasy Tools for reviewing your own season and live rank. FPL Analyzer focuses on getting from your squad to a decision quickly: xPts with published accuracy, captain picks, Elite Meta, mini-league analysis, Position FDR and an AI assistant you can talk to — all free. Check each tool's own site for its current features and pricing.
