The 15 players our expected-points model projects to score the most over the next 3, 5 or 8 gameweeks.
Starting XI, captain doubled, for the current squad — not a forecast of who will actually start.
A model estimate from our own projection engine (form, FPL's next-fixture estimate, and underlying minutes/involvement, adjusted for fixture difficulty) — not an official FPL figure. How this is calculated
The inclusion reason behind every squad slot.
Projected 32.1 pts over the next 8 gameweeks — recent form (5.0 pts/match); underlying minutes & defensive involvement model (3.4 pts/match est.); FPL's own next-fixture projection (5.0 pts); fixtures rated 2.9/5 difficulty over the next 5 across 7 fixtures (double gameweek).
Projected 28.4 pts over the next 8 gameweeks — recent form (5.0 pts/match); FPL's own next-fixture projection (5.0 pts); underlying minutes & defensive involvement model (2.4 pts/match est.); fixtures rated 3.3/5 difficulty over the next 5 across 7 fixtures (double gameweek).
Projected 44.6 pts over the next 8 gameweeks — recent form (8.0 pts/match); FPL's own next-fixture projection (8.0 pts); underlying minutes & defensive involvement model (3.4 pts/match est.); fixtures rated 3.3/5 difficulty over the next 5 across 7 fixtures (double gameweek).

Squad changes since Gameweek 2.
Ranks every player by FPL Template's expected-points model over the next 8 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.
