Season 2026/27 · unofficial FPL team planner

The FPL team builder that writes your deadline letter.

One email a week: who to sell, who to buy, who starts, who wears the armband, and whether a chip is worth playing this gameweek. You still make the clicks.

01 / What arrives

FPL Manager looks at the public Fantasy Premier League page for your squad, then solves the same problem the game poses: fifteen players, £100m, three from a club, eleven to pick, one captain. It never logs in.

  1. Transfers for this deadline, including whether a −4 hit pays over three gameweeks.
  2. Starting XI, bench order, captain and vice. The armband goes to the starter with the highest expected points this gameweek.
  3. Hold or play Triple Captain, Bench Boost, Wildcard, Free Hit, with the numbers behind the call.
  4. Risk notes for anyone starting with a shaky chance of minutes.

The fifteen that come out of this week’s transfers stay locked for the next five gameweeks in the model.

02 / A real letter

Gameweek 2, 2026/27. Same engine that writes to a subscriber. Formation 4-4-2, one free transfer. Leftover bank is ignored by the objective: it is worth nothing until you spend it.

GW2 · Fri 28 Aug 19:30 CEST T = 1 · hit = 0

Cherki → Ndiaye. Fernandes (C).

Cherki’s last outing was a 27-minute cameo. The solver will not pay five-week minutes on that. Ndiaye is modelled as a 90-minute start. Bench: Woodman, Shaw, Mateta, Lavia. Wharton delayed: he would sit this week.

XI with captain 47.1 ± 11.7. HOLD triple captain (5.10 now vs ~11.9 expected later). HOLD bench boost.

Figures from a dry-run of the live planner. Next week’s letter will differ.

03 / How it chooses

Player points are a Monte Carlo: minutes, Poisson returns, and one shared scoreline per fixture. Clean sheets come from that scoreline. If your team draws a blank, that player cannot be given a goal or an assist in the same world.

Where the book is liquid, team goal expectancy is blended toward public regular-time Over/Under 0.5 prices. Thin books are ignored.

The fifteen and the eleven are a mixed-integer programme: maximise five-week expected starter points, minus a small penalty on variance, subject to FPL’s rules. The full write-up is here: objective, hit rule, and chip stopping condition.

05 / Common searches

Is this an FPL AI team creator?

It is an automated FPL team planner, not a chat model. Expected points come from a match simulation; a mixed-integer programme then builds the squad. There is no prompt box, and nothing is posted to FPL for you.

Is this an FPL team builder?

Yes. Each letter names this week’s transfers, starting XI, bench, captain, and vice for your public squad. You copy the moves on fantasy.premierleague.com.

What kind of FPL planner is this?

A five-gameweek plan with this deadline’s clicks spelled out: hits, unused free transfers, chips, and a starting eleven. Unused bank is worth zero in the objective until you spend it.

Do I hand over my FPL login?

Never. Stripe takes the card. The mailer reads the same public team page anyone can open with your team ID.

Can I ask more about how the bot works?

Yes. Start with How it chooses. If you want a longer walkthrough of the model or of a letter, write to support@fpl-manager.com.

06 / Limits

  • You copy the moves on the official site.
  • Unofficial. No Premier League affiliation.
  • Price changes are left to FPL.
  • Public picks can lag a squad you changed mid-week, until the next deadline publishes them.
  • Clean-sheet points already sit in each defender’s mean. The planner does not add a covariance bonus for stacking a back line.
  • Haaland can still blank. The letter is advice.
