SOURCES & METHOD
An open formbook.
Useful evidence, with room for your own judgement.
Your decision workspace
Edit your 15 players, selling values, bank and remaining transfers. Compare holding, single and paired replacements after hits; inspect the XI, bench, captain and a joint chip calendar. Fixture projections combine FPL histories and flags with separately reviewed news. The search is bounded and estimates are uncalibrated; small gains are uncertain. Releases update every 15 minutes and rebuild after editorial changes. Private saved decisions preserve selections before the deadline and are graded only after FPL checks all required results.
Open your squad planner →Player photographs & conferences
Nine player photographs have individually verified reuse licences and visible credits. Archive pictures may show former clubs or international kits. Other players use initials. Conference videos use dated official-channel embeds; discovery does not automatically publish player advice.

Short, sourced manager quotes sit alongside the question or context, our FPL interpretation and the remaining unknowns. The current registry covers all 20 clubs; four have automatic written-source discovery and the remaining sources need manual review. an editor reviews sources before publishing advice. The Press Room shows collection coverage and preserves dated editions in its archive. Advice expires at its gameweek deadline. The readings do not alter the numerical Formbook Score.
How we read managers →Your team
We read your public FPL squad using your team ID. The returned picks are the latest available gameweek snapshot, so they may not include transfers you have just made. A screenshot scan is available as an alternative.
Open your team →Fixtures & team news
Fixtures, results, injury flags and playing-chance estimates come from Fantasy Premier League. Updates can lag events on the pitch. A 75% playing chance is an FPL estimate, not a confirmed team-sheet place.
See the fixtures →Player stats
Minutes, expected goals, expected assists, defensive contributions and penalty order come from the official FPL data. Our tables make those fields easier to compare. Early-season samples can be small.
Explore the stats →Formbook Score
A forecast covering up to five remaining gameweeks combines playing time, attacking output, fixtures, role and defensive work. It includes a likely range. Forecasts are stored before the deadline and assessed when gameweek results are checked. The public record preserves forecast timestamps and shows actual starts, minutes and points when available; its per-gameweek points share is an approximation of the longer forecast.
Inspect the forecast record →Elite ownership
Public squads from the top of the overall FPL league are compared with overall ownership. Each table reports the gameweek and sample size. This is a snapshot of what those managers own, not an endorsement of every pick.
