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 backroom staff gathered around the tactical table

Most FPL advice hands you a crowded shortlist and wishes you luck. Your No.2 reads your squad and gives you one decision. You may still ignore it, naturally. Managers enjoy paperwork.

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. Fifteen players enter. Your previous decisions follow quietly behind.

Step 02

The call is made

Your No.2 settles the captain, transfer and bench calls. The recipe stays in the building, beside the spare cones and several regrettable wildcards.

Step 03

The room argues about them

Eight specialists take the call apart from their own remit: fitness, fixtures, value, ownership. The Assistant Manager rules. Conflicting signals get flagged, not politely buried.

Step 04

You get one verdict

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

Who's in the room

"I have prepared the differential memo. Nobody requested it. This has never prevented a memo."

What you actually get

Squad tier output

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. Green arrows by Sunday, or Klaus gets to file the memo.

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. Your No.2 makes the captain, transfer and bench calls before the staff explain them in character. The comedy is in the delivery. The decision still has to survive Sunday afternoon.

The backroom reads your actual squad, the fixtures, the team news and the bookmakers' odds, then gives you one call per decision. The recipe stays in the building. Every verdict carries a confidence level, and every call is logged so you can judge the record rather than admire a diagram.

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 the next deadline.
