Most FPL managers make captain picks in an information vacuum.

This is the briefing room.

Every gameweek, eight specialists analyse your squad and deliver one verdict. Not generic advice. Your team. Your decisions.

Free general briefing every gameweek. The full 8-character squad-personalised backroom is the Squad tier.

The FPL community runs on the same data. Fantasy Football Scout, Reddit, Twitter — same xP numbers, same differential threads, same consensus picks that finish mid-table. Your No.2 doesn't replace those sources. It synthesises them through eight specialists who only care about your squad, not the field.

What happens when you enter your team ID

Steps 01–04 describe the Squad tier experience. The free tier gives a general AM briefing without squad personalisation.

Step 01

Your squad is pulled

We read your current squad, captain history, chip usage, and upcoming fixtures direct from the FPL API.

Step 02

Eight specialists go to work

Each member of the backroom analyses a different dimension: fitness risk, fixture run, form, value, differential potential, squad balance.

Step 03

The room debates

The Assistant Manager hears every report and arbitrates. Conflicting signals get flagged, not smoothed over.

Step 04

You get one verdict

Captain pick, transfer recommendation, bench order. Justified, not hedged.

Who's in the room

Medical Officer

Dr. Rachel Okafor

"Gordon trained Thursday. I would not describe it as full training. The armband should not be on Gordon."

Chief Scout

Jimmy MacLeod

"A've watched him three times this week. He's got the thing. Cannae explain the thing. Pick him."

Sporting Director

Klaus Brandt

"My fixture-adjusted ownership model projects a 34.2% differential by GW33. Nobody requested this model. I am presenting it anyway."

The Morning After — Janet Moorhouse

HAALAND DOES WHAT HAALAND DOES AND THE TITLE RACE FEELS IT

The Assistant Manager — Captain Pick

Haaland. Double armband. Home fixture, title mathematics. Ferretti flagged the motivation angle on Wednesday. Sharma's underlying numbers agreed. Okafor cleared him medically on Thursday morning. We go again.

Dr. Rachel Okafor — Medical Flag

Gordon trained Thursday but I would not describe it as full training. Flagged as captaincy risk last week. Log updated. The armband went on Haaland regardless. For the record.

Before you ask

No. A decision engine makes every call from the FPL data: captain, transfer, bench order. The eight specialists explain that call in character. Strip the personalities out and the verdict is identical. The comedy is the delivery, not the maths.

It runs on the same public data everyone has: the FPL API, expected points, fixture difficulty, betting odds, injury and minutes signals. The difference is what it does with that data. A deterministic engine weighs it all into one call per decision, ranks your captain options, flags the transfer cases, and orders your bench. It is not trying to be the cleverest optimiser in the market. It is built to be sound, transparent, and accountable. Every verdict ships with a confidence level, and from GW1 we log whether the calls were right so you can judge it for yourself. No black box.

There is a free briefing every gameweek. The full backroom unlocks on the Squad tier. See the pricing page for the current numbers.

The advice is sound. The staff are not okay.

Get your squad briefed before GW1.
