Team news sources — Fantasy Formbook

GW9 coverage

Our main feed follows official club X accounts and selected football reporters. We focus on injuries, availability, likely minutes, team selection and fixture changes. Official articles and press conferences provide context when an update needs verification.

FPL and community accounts help us find reports. Repeated claims are grouped for review; repetition does not make a rumour confirmed. No news is not an all-clear.

Evidence review

Review checks: running. Clear, standalone official absence statements can be checked against the current FPL player and fixture records. Other reports need editorial review.

Validated factual publication is enabled. 54 relevant reports await review. Last successful review check: Fri 30 Oct, 05:53 GMT. A successful check does not mean every conference has been reviewed.

When we check for team news

Club accounts are checked approximately every 15 minutes during pre-match monitoring windows, around verified announcements and in the final 24 hours before the FPL deadline. Outside those periods, checks are hourly. Provider limits and outages can delay a check; the actual last successful check appears below.

Expected windows follow each match date, including midweek and Monday games. All times use UK local time (GMT/BST). Historical slots are a small sample of reported times, not confirmed future appointments. Cup games, travel, manager changes and embargoed quotes can change the pattern.

Fixture data checked Fri 30 Oct, 05:43 GMT. FPL deadline: Sat 31 Oct, 11:00 GMT.

Only reviewed, current briefings can trigger squad alerts. An unconnected or overdue source is not live coverage.

Check the original context

Important claims are checked against the original post, official article or full conference. A training return does not confirm a start, and a reporter’s prediction stays a prediction until verified.

Only meaningful, reviewed updates can trigger alerts for squads owning the affected player.
