Fantasy Premier League

Almost everything on this site comes from the public data behind the official Fantasy Premier League game: players, prices, ownership, injury news, fixtures and difficulty ratings, live match points, and FPL's own price-change projections.

  • Players, prices and fixtures: checked every 15 minutes.
  • Live points and bonus: every minute while a match is being played.
  • Match-by-match player histories: refreshed in rotation, every few hours.
  • Prices change once a night at the time FPL sets; Price Watch shows the next update in UK time.

Between our 15-minute checks and page caching, a page can trail FPL by up to about half an hour. All times on the site are UK time.

Your Team ID

When you enter a Team ID we fetch that team's public FPL page, the same one anyone can open on the FPL site, and keep a short-lived copy so repeat visits stay fast. The Team ID itself is saved only in your own browser. We do not ask for your FPL login.

Past seasons

To build and test our points model we use the 2022/23 to 2024/25 seasons from Vaastav Anand's open Fantasy-Premier-League dataset. These seasons are used for fitting and testing only; nothing on the live pages comes from them directly.

What we add

Model points, captain rankings, transfer suggestions and the analysis articles are ours. How the model works, how we tested it and where it falls short is on the methodology page.

FPL Picks is an independent fan site, not affiliated with the Premier League or Fantasy Premier League.
