Straight talk
Good at
- Free to start, and it never asks for your FPL password
- Planning five gameweeks ahead, not just this one
- Showing the working behind every number
- Spotting flagged players before the deadline does
- Telling you when a -4 isn't worth it
- Timing your chips across both halves of the season
- Keeping an eye on your mini-league rivals
- Publishing its misses on the Accuracy page
Not so good at
- Crystal balls. One match is mostly luck, and nobody told Haaland about our model.
- Press conferences. It can't decode a manager's injury riddles, so check team news before the deadline.
- Being right every time. The Gaffer can be wrong (just like a real one), and his answers use credits.
- Pressing the button. It's read-only, unofficial and about an hour behind FPL, so the transfer (and the blame) is still yours.
- Double gameweeks and head-to-head leagues: untested, like a summer signing. Your free transfers are its best guess too, and you can correct it.
