About the weekly page

Everything you need for one gameweek of FPL, on one page: the deadline, our captain pick, the injuries that matter, the best buys and players to sell, what to do with your chips, the top 100's most-owned team, and the fixtures. Each section links to the full tool.

The page updates every two hours until the deadline. Then it's saved as it stood, and once the gameweek has been played it shows how the advice went: what our captain pick and the top 100's captain scored, and how our best buys did. Past weeks are kept in the archive.

Questions

Why does the advice change during the week?
Every refresh brings new fitness news, press conference flags and price moves, and the projections update with them. The version saved at the deadline is the one we stand by.
