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.

          Don’t get bogged down with premiums, go with who you think is the best, in currently starting the season with £2m in the bank

  3. FPL Equilibrium

    Which to start the season?

    A) White and Schade
    B) O’Reilly and Tzolis

      B by a lot but it's also more expensive.

  4. RedJive79

    Not too fussed about having a weak bench to start and think Isak could well grab a brace up at his old stomping ground. GTG?

    Kinsky
    Gabriel / Calafiori / Shaw
    Semenyo / Tzolis / Le Fee / Mbeumo
    Haaland / Isak / JPedro

    Dub / Davis / Thomas / Slater

      Interesting team. It's pretty good. I prefer Ndiaye over LeFee just about.

    Thoughts on this three premium team? Will probably BB2 and hope Slater can get me some defcon

    Verbruggen,
    Gabriel, Calafiori, Ballard
    Fernandes, Szoboszlai, Ndiaye, Sangare
    Haaland, Pedro, Calvert Lewin

    Kinsky, Rodon, Slater, Van Ewijk

    1. ShaunGoater123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 hour, 3 mins ago

      It's a nice 11, but a not so nice BB in my opinion.

      Personally i think you go without on premium and boost the bench and also Ndiaye / Sangare

      1. abcdef3

        Thank you sir. I’m planning on Bruno to Palmer/Rogers in GW4 so could use bench boost then I suppose

      1. Ze_Austin

        But I'd say Greaves atm

    No way my WC survives to the international break at this rate.

    Too many game-changing transfers, with more to come before the window shuts before GW3 I'm sure.

    1. Holmes

      focus on old players?

      1. Pompel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Gross, Henderson, Dubravka ....

    1. ShaunGoater123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 hour, 21 mins ago

      I prefer Thomas out of the two if thinking longer term and assuming you would play him next week.

      If not and would only play this week then Davis

    2. coriswrasse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 hour, 15 mins ago

      Davis has the better chance of occasional assists. Not often you would play your 5th defender.

    Apologies bottomed on the last page and would love any thoughts on the below:

    Think I'm set on BB1 > FH3 and then keep the wildcard for maybe 6, although I like the look of 7. Below would be my BB1 squad, thoughts?

    Lammens
    Ballard / Calafiori / White
    Mbuemo / Bruno / Tzolis / Semenyo
    Haaland / Thiago / Pedro

    Verbruggen / Le Fee / Rodon / Ajer

    Possible adjustments:
    A) Lammens / Ajer > Roefs / Shaw
    B) Lammens / Ballard / Ajer > Roefs / Maguire / Hume
    C) Lammens / Ballard / Ajer > Roefs / Maguire / Williams

    It has happened! I'm finally over the moon about my team. Plan is to wildcard in GW6.

    Lammens
    White – Maguire – Muharemović
    Tzolis – Bruno – Szoboszlai – Dango
    João Pedro – Thiago – Haaland

    Bench: Lecomte – Davis – Thomas – Slater

    What do we think, looking fire?

    1. coriswrasse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 hour, 12 mins ago

      Price points look flexible. I think we are all looking for who the best 8-9.5m midfielder will be and how to squeeze them in.

    2. Very similar to mine

    3. mad_beer ✅

      That's a lot of Brentford. Just saying.

      1. ResultatFar

        They play Tottenham, that's tempting - and they have looked so fire here in preseason

    BB W1, WC W2 - insane right?
    GTG?

    Raya, Verbruggen
    Gabriel, Tarkowski, Davis, Jacquet, Shaw

    DCL, JP, Isak (C)

    3. Ball Ake
      • 2 Years
      33 mins ago

      As far as I'm aware he's played zero pre season minutes so won't come in straight away. Once up to speed he'll replace Mosq I imagine, White is safe until Timber is back. Plenty of options for Arse now, Centre Back City (did Bowie sing that?)

  14. Kiwi Don
    • 14 Years
    1 hour, 12 mins ago

    Rogers or Wirtz

    Both playing in number 10 roles, I fancy rogers to do well and only 1 game a week for Chelsea helps but Liverpool have better opening fixtures.
    Help please.

    1. coriswrasse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Wirtz.

    2. FPL Equilibrium
      • 4 Years

      Gotta be Wirtz u til we know Rogers is starting. He should start GW1 but there is a doubt

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years

      Rogers is PL-proven, imo

  15. Pompel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 hour, 9 mins ago

    Konsa deal a spanner in the BB1 works. Makes sense to get him in now, but I not likely to play GW1 I presume

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      34 mins ago

      GW1 is in 52 hours, he will definitely not play Coventry

    2. Boring FC
      • 5 Years

      Just not include him. It might take some GWs for him to eventually replace Mosquera.

      1. Pompel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Or they might get rotated

    First post of the new season, good luck all.

    First draft. Thinking of using BB straight away.

    Thoughts?

    Kinsky - Verbruggen
    Calafiori - White - Maguire - Vuskovic - Diop
    Bruno - Mbuemo - Tzolis - Gross - Sangare
    Haaland - Pedro - DCL

  17. Kun Tozser

    B
    Semenyo
    MGW
    Moore

    1. FPL Equilibrium

    Roll FTs until Timber returns:

    Kinsky Dubravka
    Calafiori White Maguire Hume Konsa
    BrunoF Mbeumo Tzolis KDH Slater
    Haaland Pedro DCL

    Thinking of raising 0.5 for Dubravka to Verbruggen, but I don't like any of the possible downgrades... And Hume to 4.0 kinda defeats the purpose because I'd have no sub I'd happily play if there's a flag or two. No chip planned

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      31 mins ago

      Thomas possibly, but it doesn't really make sense. We have basically similar teams. I have Jacquet over Hume and ELF over KDH. I'd like to have Zlob

    2. Johnjo

  20. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    1 hour, 2 mins ago

    On the FFS scoutcast that is currently live, they said Jacquet is a too risky pick due to him only playing half a game in preseason. He is gonna be as nailed as one can be. He has trained with Liverpool for weeks and it was just precautionary. People thinking they brought Araujo in on loan to be compete with him are bit

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      1 hour ago

      are imo not right. They needed a back up CB in case of injuries which is standard procedure when you only for two fit centerbacks.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        55 mins ago

        I watched a YT video from the "competitor side" and the Liverpool analyst said that last game was audition for both and Jackuet was so good, that it has to be his place to lose now. Jacquet is locked in my team.

        Think Artetat mentioned he is on grass and expected to be in team training next week. Still probably weeks away from a start.

          "Jurrien is progressing really well. He is on the pitch, we are ramping up now with certain actions and especially the volume and the load. I think he is on a good trajectory, but there is still a few weeks to go… He needs to start to train with the group, and then we’ll see how he progresses."
