How the points predictor works

For every player we estimate how likely he is to start and how long he'll play, his expected goals and assists, and how many chances his opponent gives away, home or away. From those come his chances of goals, assists, clean sheets, saves, bonus and defensive contributions, scored with this season's official FPL rules.

We tested it on every gameweek of 2025/26 using only what was known before each deadline: it ranked players more accurately than recent form at every position, and each week's top 20 predictions averaged 4.6 points against 4.6 actually scored.

Questions

Who has the most FPL predicted points for Gameweek 8?

+

Haaland (MCI) tops our FPL predicted points for Gameweek 8 with 5.2, against AVL (A). The top three are Haaland (5.2), Saka (5.1), Cunha (4.7).

How are FPL predicted points calculated?

+

For every player we estimate how likely he is to start and how long he will play, his expected goals and assists, and how many chances his opponent gives away at home or away. From those come his chances of goals, assists, clean sheets, saves, bonus and defensive contributions, using this season's official FPL scoring. A double gameweek adds both matches and a player without a match scores zero. Injury flags from FPL are included.

How accurate are these predicted points?

+

We tested the model on every gameweek of 2025/26, using only what was known before each deadline. It ranked players more accurately than recent form at every position and at every stage of the season, and each week's top 20 predictions averaged 4.6 points, against 4.6 points actually scored. Single gameweeks are unpredictable, so treat the numbers as a guide rather than a guarantee.

Is this the same as FPL's own expected points?

+

No. FPL's own expected points figure follows each player's recent form. Ours also looks at minutes, expected goals and assists, and the strength of each opponent home and away.

How often do the predictions update?

+

Through the week up to the deadline, so injury flags, team news and the latest results are included.
