How FPL Peek works
FPL Peek turns public Fantasy Premier League data into planning views, comparisons and decision-support tools. This page explains what is factual data, what is calculated, and what is only an estimate.
1. Data sources
Most player, team, fixture, manager and Gameweek information displayed by FPL Peek comes from data made publicly available by Fantasy Premier League. Live Gameweek views can combine manager picks with event-level player points so captain multipliers and bench status are represented correctly.
FPL Peek does not ask for an official FPL password and does not submit changes to an official team. Planner and Team Builder actions are simulations.
2. Facts versus estimates
We separate observed data from estimates wherever possible. Examples of observed data include player price, ownership, transfers in, transfers out, minutes, official points and fixture results. Examples of estimates include projected points, price-change likelihood and some recommendation labels.
An estimate should never be read as a guarantee. Football team selection, injuries, tactical changes and the exact FPL price mechanism can all create outcomes that differ from a model.
3. Price Change Prediction
Price-change predictions use public market signals such as transfer movement and current player information. The exact FPL price-change algorithm is not published as a simple public formula, so FPL Peek presents likelihood bands rather than claiming certainty.
Transfer Stats is intentionally separate: it reports official transfer-count fields without turning those counts into a prediction.
4. Captain Picks and projected points
Captain recommendations should combine expected minutes, fixture strength, player role, recent involvement and multiple routes to returns. Ownership may be shown as risk context, but popularity alone is not treated as proof that a player is the best captain.
Projected points are decision aids. They are most useful when comparing players under the same assumptions, not when interpreted as an exact forecast of the next score.
5. Team Rating
Team Rating compresses squad quality into a 0–100 signal. The useful inputs are availability, minutes security, fixtures, captaincy, squad structure and the concentration of obvious weak spots. The rating is designed to identify where to inspect next, not to rank managers by skill.
6. League Analyzer
League Analyzer fetches public classic-league standings and manager Gameweek information to show patterns such as captaincy, chips, bench points and weekly scoring. During an active Gameweek, official league event totals can update at a different pace from other FPL endpoints, so live calculations may refresh as data settles.
7. Corrections and feedback
If you spot a calculation that appears inconsistent with official FPL data, please include the tool name, Gameweek, player or Team ID and what you expected to see. We use those reports to distinguish an FPL data delay from an FPL Peek calculation issue.
