The 15 players our expected-points model projects to score the most over the next 3, 5 or 8 gameweeks.
The inclusion reason behind every squad slot.

Projected 24.4 pts over the next 5 gameweeks — season/career points-per-game (7.0) standing in for form; underlying minutes & defensive involvement model (5.3 pts/match est.); FPL's own next-fixture projection (2.0 pts); fixtures rated 3.0/5 difficulty over the next 5.

Next best next-fixture point projections per position that didn't make the squad.
Ranks every player by FPL Template's expected-points model over the next 5 gameweeks — a blend of recent form, FPL's own next-fixture estimate, and an underlying minutes/involvement model, scaled by fixture difficulty and the number of fixtures in the window — then builds the best legal 15 from those projections. A model estimate, not an official FPL figure. Pre-season, with little form/minutes data, projections are conservative and climb once matches are played.
