About Fantasy Football Pundit

Fantasy Football Pundit has been building free Fantasy Premier League tools since 2016. Over those ten years we’ve grown from a blog into a set of data tools used by thousands of managers every gameweek — all free, with no account required and nothing behind a paywall.

The goal is simple: give managers the data they need to climb the global ranks, in the most digestible form we can manage. Our primary focus is Fantasy Premier League, and we cover UCL Fantasy in the same depth.

How Our Data Is Produced

Data sources

Our tools read the official Fantasy Premier League API and, for European coverage, UEFA’s own Fantasy feeds. Everything derived from those — ownership, price changes, form, defensive contributions — is calculated by our own models rather than taken from elsewhere.

Predicted lineups

Researched manually, not generated. Every XI is built from team news, press conferences, recent selections and injury reporting, and each club’s page shows when it was last updated so you can judge how current it is.

Points predictions

Our points predictor combines expected minutes, fixture difficulty, underlying attacking numbers and each player’s chance of starting into a projection for the coming gameweek and up to six ahead. Projections are weighted by starting likelihood, so a rotation risk is valued as one.

How often it updates

Prices and ownership refresh overnight, projections and odds before every gameweek, and predicted lineups whenever team news lands — including in the hours before a deadline. Where a dataset is maintained by hand, the homepage shows when it was last touched.

Where we might be wrong

Predictions are predictions. Our lineups are informed judgements and managers surprise us; our projections are models and models miss. Where a number comes from someone else’s judgement rather than observed fact — penalty orders, for instance — we say so on the page rather than presenting it as certainty.

No paid placement

Nobody pays to appear in our tables. Rankings, projections and recommendations are produced by the same models for every player, and we have no commercial relationship that could change what you see.

Our Team

Everyone here plays FPL, and has done for years. Their team IDs are linked below if you want to check the records for yourself.

Thomas Harris

Lead Writer
Education
Economics degree, University of Glasgow
Experience
Sports Editor of the Glasgow Guardian
Best finish
30,340th (2018/19)
FPL team
157541 (8 year veteran)

Thomas is an FPL veteran who believes in trusting statistics to steer his team decisions. He's a big Arsenal supporter, and Mesut Özil is his footballing idol.

On strategy, Thomas primarily sticks with the template but can be persuaded by the best differentials when a quick move up the ranks is needed.

Harry Kelly

Writer
Education
Sports Journalism degree
Experience
Business & research intern
Best finish
122,366th (2021/22)
FPL team
2067415 (14 year veteran)

Harry uses his sports journalism degree on the most important information in football: Fantasy Premier League stats. He has played the game for over a decade.

As a Rotherham fan, it's unlikely he'll have any club bias in picking his team anytime soon.

Sam Hunt

Team News Reporter
Education
PE and School Sports degree, Edge Hill University
Experience
Predicted lineups and team news research
Best finish
2,186th (2021/22)
FPL team
13002 (8 year veteran)

Sam is a self-confessed FPL addict who channelled the obsession into a 2,186th place finish in 2021/22 — a top 0.03% season.

He takes an analytical approach, basing selection on data. Outside FPL he spends weekends at the University of Bolton Stadium and is, you guessed it, a Bolton fan.

What We Build

Rather than list everything, here are the tools that do the most work for the most managers.

Everything is free and stays free. There is no premium tier, no subscription and no account to create — the site is funded by advertising, which is why it can be.

Frequently Asked

Do you offer personalised FPL help?

On X, yes — post a screenshot of your side with a specific question and we’ll answer what we can, particularly before a deadline. We can’t do it by email, where there are more requests than we can answer properly. See contact us for the detail.

Can I write for Fantasy Football Pundit?

Possibly. We publish a small amount and hold it to a high standard, so it depends on what you can bring. Our write for us page has the detail.

Is everything really free?

Yes. Every tool on the site is available to everyone with no account, no trial and no paid tier. Advertising covers the running costs.

How do I get in touch?

Email fantasyfpundit@gmail.com or message us on X. We read everything, including corrections — if something on the site is wrong, telling us is the fastest way to fix it.
