FPL Gameweek 21 Preview: Clear Captaincy, Tactical Changes, and Positioning for the Next Phase
Gameweek 21 sits in an interesting part of the season. We are far enough in that most managers have a clear sense of their team structure, but still early enough that there is no need to chase marginal edges or force high-variance decisions. In weeks like this, the advantage usually comes from discipline rather than aggression. The themes for GW21 are familiar from the last couple of gameweeks. Captaincy is clear, transfers can largely wait, and the real value lies in prepari

FPL Gameweek 20 Preview: A Clear Captain, A Good Week to Roll, and Letting the Fixtures Do the Work
Gameweek 20 is a relatively calm one by FPL standards. There are no major shocks in the data, no obvious must-buy or must-sell moves, and no need to force anything. In weeks like this, the edge usually comes from doing less , not more. That makes GW20 a classic “stick rather than twist” gameweek. Captaincy: Haaland and Move On Captaincy is very straightforward this week. Erling Haaland is the clear standout at home to a Chelsea side that are out of form, currently without a

FPL Gameweek 19 Preview: Free Risk Captaincy, Final Chip Week, and Avoiding the Rotation Trap
Gameweek 19 is a pivot week . Not because of chaos but because of opportunity. This is the final week of the first half of the season, chips are expiring, fixture runs are turning, and for once the data points clearly toward a differential decision that doesn’t increase downside . That combination is rare. And when it appears, you take it. Captaincy: Cunha Is the Definition of “Free Risk” This week’s standout captain is Matheus Cunha (£8.1m) . In FPL analytics, we call this s

FPL Gameweek 18 Preview: Clear Captaincy, Bench Boost Window, and One Big Buying Trap
Gameweek 18 is less about chasing upside and more about structural decisions — captaincy discipline, chip timing, and avoiding transfers that look good on paper but rate poorly in the data. There are a few strong signals this week, and ignoring them is where managers quietly lose ground. Captaincy: Haaland Clear, Ekitike the Only Real Alternative Once again, Erling Haaland is the standout captaincy option. The projections are clear: he tops expected points and remains the m

FPL Gameweek 17: Key Algorithm-Led Tips & Targets
Gameweek 17 is one of those weeks where the data is unusually clear — and when that happens, the best play is to lean into it rather than overthink . Between a standout captaincy, under-owned transfer targets, and AFCON-driven opportunity shifts, there’s real edge available for managers willing to act early. Below are the key GW17 takeaways based on projected points, fixture difficulty, and role changes. Captaincy: Haaland Is the Clear Standout (Play your TC) This is one of t

Why The Algorithm Doesn’t Believe in “Form”
Each season, the same debate resurfaces: should managers trust “form,” or is it an illusion? This week, The Algorithm recommended selling Haaland, and many people have called it crazy because he’s been scoring recently. But to understand why that recommendation makes sense, it’s important to look at what “form” really represents, and what it doesn’t. What “Form” Actually Means In football discussions, “form” is often used to describe a player who has produced strong returns o
