FPL Player Ownership Percentages

The above table, by default, is sorted by the players with the highest pick percentage. That means whoever is currently highest will be displayed top.

The data is live so it will be frequently changing. You can also sort by any column by clicking its heading.

Additionally, there is also the option to filter. So, if you want to display Chelsea players only, select Chelsea from the team drop-down above the table.

Often, FPL managers will be searching for a player from a particular position, too. In that case you can do exactly the same thing with the position drop-down.

The table shows the top 50 players by default — use the button beneath it to show every player. If you’re looking for someone specific, just search their name.

Overall ownership tells you what the crowd is doing. Set against ownership among the top 10,000 managers, it tells you something far more useful: whether the best managers agree.

The Gap column is the difference between the two. A player owned by 4% of the game but 22% of the top 10k has a gap of +18 — the elite have found something the crowd hasn’t. That is a differential with evidence behind it, rather than simply a player nobody owns.

It works the other way too. A large negative gap means a popular player the best managers have moved off, which is often the earliest warning you will get that a template pick is about to stop working.

Sort by the Gap column to see both ends. For the full picture at each level, see our top 10k, 1k and 100 ownership tables.

Looking solely at high pick percentage players will give you a very good indication of the players you should own.

This is commonly referred to as a template team. However, using only these assets will mean you’ll miss out on potential differentials.

If you’re happy with a decent rank, then using players from the top of this list should give you a respectable overall ranking.

To go one further though, and push the illustrious top several thousand places, you’ll need to take some risks. This is how you differentiate yourself from the crowd.

Unless you find a gem, which for one reason or another isn’t already popular, then there is a natural risk incurred.

Finding a player that high-ranking managers haven’t got is a great way to give yourself an edge. Conversely, it can often do the opposite. Pick wisely!
