Making good Fantasy Premier League (FPL) decisions often means digging through lots of data.

Who has the strongest underlying numbers? Which players consistently rack up defensive contributions? When does an asset’s fixture run improve? And when two options look almost inseparable, which one should you actually pick?

Our brand-new FPL Stats Centre aims to make those decisions easier by bringing a huge amount of useful information together in one place.

Available to Chief Scout Members, managers can deep-dive into player and team statistics, analyse attacking and defensive numbers, compare assets and use our Rate My Team (RMT) projections to plan ahead.

Whether you’re searching for a differential, planning several Gameweeks ahead or simply trying to settle a difficult 50/50 decision, here are some of the ways our new-look FPL tools can help.

FPL Stats Centre

EXPLORE HUNDREDS OF FPL PLAYER STATS

At the heart of the new Stats Centre is our sortable player database.

Managers can analyse hundreds of FPL assets across five main categories: Overview, Attacking, Expected, Defending and Involvement.

That means you can quickly switch between different areas depending on what you’re looking for, rather than having to sift through one enormous table.

There are also filters for season, position and team, while different data types allow managers to change how the numbers are presented.

The Players, Per GW and Teams tabs offer further ways to explore the data, while an Advanced search provides even more control.

There is also a Watchlist, allowing managers to save interesting players and quickly return to them later.

RATE MY TEAM POINTS PROJECTIONS

Identifying a good FPL asset is only half the battle. Buying them at the right time can be just as important.

Our Rate My Team projected points can help managers identify upcoming fixture swings and see when a player’s prospects are expected to improve or decline.

It can also help spot differentials with high projected points!

There’s much, much more here, too, including an ‘explosive v reliable’ plot chart!

IDENTIFY STRONG FIXTURE RUNS

The Fixture Runs tools can therefore help highlight potential buying and selling opportunities before they become obvious.

If a player’s rolling projected-points average is about to rise significantly, for example, managers can potentially move early rather than waiting for the good fixtures – and potentially the FPL returns – to arrive.

Equally, a downturn in projected points could help identify the right time to move an asset on.

For anyone who likes planning transfers several Gameweeks in advance, rather than simply targeting the next fixture, there is plenty to explore.

FIND GOOD ROTATION PAIRINGS

Looking for rotating pairs? We’ve got just the thing!

From £4.5m defenders to cheap midfielders, our tool will help you find a dream pairing:

You can increase the Gameweek range, too, depending on your lookahead:

TURN DEFCON DATA INTO BETTER FPL PICKS

The new Stats Centre also allows managers to dig into defensive contributions.

As well as each player’s overall DefCon numbers, the defending section breaks down the individual actions behind them, including recoveries, tackles won, interceptions, clearances and blocks.

But managers wanting to take their research even further can head to our dedicated DefCon Centre.

There, Tom Hadley’s DefCon boards focus on one particularly important area: consistency, rather than simply volume.

The Hit List shows the share of matches in which players have cleared the relevant threshold, with a minimum-start filter and the option to view the numbers on a per-90 basis.

That can help distinguish between someone who racks up defensive actions in occasional bursts and a player who regularly puts themselves in contention for DefCon points.

The Form Five, meanwhile, focuses on each player’s last five matches played – not simply the last five Gameweeks.

That distinction means an injured or rested player is judged on the matches they actually featured in, providing a clearer indication of recent DefCon consistency.

MORE THAN JUST THE STATS CENTRE

The Stats Centre forms part of a much wider collection of FPL tools available to our subscribers.

Alongside the Stats Centre and DefCon Centre, managers can access RMT Projected Points, Fixture Runs, Rotations, Team Profiles, the Fixture Ticker, Draft Tool and Rate My Team.

That means the research doesn’t necessarily have to stop after identifying an interesting player.

You can dig into their statistics, assess their upcoming schedule, compare their projected points with another asset and consider how they fit into your wider squad plans.

Whether you’re making one transfer or plotting a Wildcard several Gameweeks in advance, the idea is simple: put more of the information needed to make an informed FPL decision within easy reach.

  1. Best option here folks???

    A- Szob and Tzolis
    Or
    B- Mbeumo and Gross

    Cheers everyone!!

    Thoughts? BB1

    Lammens Kinsky
    Calafiori Palestra Vuskovic Muharemovic O'Nien
    Mbeumo Tzolis Wirtz Semenyo Schade
    Haaland Joao Pedro DCL

    1. Keep, gtg
    2. Downgrade defence and DCL to Isak
    3. Bruno and Isak over Haaland and Schade?
    4. Any improvements?

    1. Jstap94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2 or 3 (and maybe downgrade Semenyo to afford Isak to strengthen defence)

      1. BR510
        13 mins ago

        Which one would you go for

        1. Jstap94
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          9 mins ago

          I would go Semenyo to Sangare/Ampadu and DCL to Isak.

          But I like my BB midfielder to be a cheap defcon as a de-risking strategy

    2. Perhaps change Palestra to Mosquera, but Arsenal's fixtures are not easy.

      Like the Vuskovic / Muharemovic picks. I went Nico Williams as my 5.0 - looks like he's going to be used by Glasner in an advanced RB role ala Munoz.

      I upgraded my 6.0 MF (be it Schade / Ndiaye / Le Fee) to Tzolis (6.5) - he's having an unbelievable preseason and looks nailed on the left side.

      Though I see now you have him already.

      No Bruno could be an issue, but I think he and Semenyo will have similar output this season, and it allows you an extra 4.0 to upgrade your DF/GK.

      I really like your team, so could be it's GTG.

    Best option for BB1 (wildcard gw2) ?

    A) Hume
    B) Aina
    C) Mykolenko

      I don't understand the gw 2 wildcard. You have effectively just wildcarded! And you will have barely more information than now and 30 weeks before you can wildcard again

        30 weeks?

          Sorry, that was on the assumption that you wildcard before the DGWs, which i appreciate is not a given but is probably the optimum strategy.

          An analogous situation would be WC in GW19, BB in 20 and WC in 21. It just doesn't make sense to me

          1. Barnaby Wilde
            • 3 Years

            Wildcard in week 2 effectively gives you a Free Hit in week 1.

    I see lots on the no-Haaland risk, but the no Bruno risk feels underdiscussed.

    Realistically it wouldnt be surprising if he scores/assist against both promoted sides as a minimum.

    1. Amartey Partey

      He should do well in those games. Only owned by 49% of the game.

    Verbruggen Kinsky

    Haaland Isak JP

      Bruno?

    Your thoughts appreciated

    Verbruggen (Kinsky)
    Shaw-Calafiori-Van Hecke (O'Shea-De Ewijk)
    Bruno-Szoboslai-Semenyo-Le Fee (Groß)
    Haaland-DCL-J.Pedro

    1. I like it. Very similar to my team, with a few changes:

      Kinsky Steele
      Calafiori Nilliams Shaw Diop VEwick
      Bruno Mbeumo Wirtz Tzlois Gross
      Haaland JP DCL

      I like the Szoboszlai pick, but Wirtz is playing almost as a second striker. I feel like he's going to have a lot of G/A this season, for only 7.5 more.

      I had Le Fee, but upgraded him to Tzolis after downgrading Mosquera to Nico Williams.

      I can't stand rotating keepers, so I stuck with Kinsky who is a bargain at 4.5.

        They can have him, his form dropped off cliff after Man Utd batted their eyelashes at him last time. Now injured.

  8. GTG? Considering Bruno > Semenyo and upgrading my DF.

    Kinsky Steele
    Calafiori Nilliams Shaw Diop VEwick
    Bruno Mbeumo Wirtz Tzlois Gross
    Haaland JP DCL

      I would get Ballard instead of Nico.....Rest all fine

      1. Reason? Williams has more upside due to attacking returns, no?

        1. FPL Sanky
          • 2 Years
          9 mins ago

          Sunderland have IPS and FUL in the first two. Ballard nailed and good for defcons

          NFO don't have great fixtures plus Glasner might take some time to settle in

    Any Chelsea fans who can help me understand Reece James? How likely is he to put a string of starts together?

    I know he’s made of glass, but his stats are excellent and I’d love to have him. Trying to inject some selfish fun into my team, without being a complete fool.

    1. Looks like he's starting in MF like he did at the end of last season, with Gusto as RWB.

      1. Stykes
        • 13 Years

        Thank you. That’s my read too.
        Thinking that lack of European games might help his consistency...

    2. Gommy
      • 16 Years
      3 mins ago

      His chances of being a regular starter this season look very good with one game a week, most weeks. His versatility across the RWB/MF positions helps those chances also.

      I'd still imagine his chances of completing 90 mins regularly are still slim. I'd prepare for an early withdrawal more often than not, which may work for or against you.

    Good to go? BB 2 is the plan

    Kinsky

    Saka vs Semenyo is my only outstanding issue

    BB1
    WC between wk 5 & 6 (Int break)

    1. Stykes
      • 13 Years
      13 mins ago

      Don’t see Arteta needing to risk him - expect his minutes to be managed, since Madueke is available.
      On Semenyo atm for that reason, but would love to be convinced otherwise.

    2. Barnaby Wilde

      Will Saka start? Maybe not.

      Semenyo against his old club!

    This is first time I’m posting RMT this year, pretty settled on this squad the only change might be with Man Utd mids.

    Kinsky(Dubravka)
    Calafiori Ajer Neco Williams (Diop Van Ewijk)
    Mbuemo Bruno Tzolis Wirtz (Sangare Brentford one)
    Haaland JP DCL

    No early BB, viewe to reduce United mid after gw2 and get Chelsea one.

    1. Budweiser
      • 12 Years
      just now

      I'd be tempted to keep Mbuemo and do Wirtz to Rogers for your Chelsea cover. You could then do Mbuemo to MGW or Semenyo instead few weeks in

  17. Anyone here with me with Thiago instead of Mbeumo ?

        He’s overlooked because he’s competing with underpriced Joao Pedro and budget sweetheart DCL
