How to use your AI tips

Every Friday night the same questions come up. Who gets the armband, who sits on the bench and is the hit worth it. AI Tips answers them for your own squad, not for an average team that nobody actually owns.

What is in your tips

Once your team is linked, we build a set of tips for the coming gameweek. You get a captain pick, an advised bench order and transfer ideas, plus a three week transfer roadmap so one move does not undo the next. The player drop watch flags anyone whose minutes, form or fixtures are slipping. There is chip advice, a hit calculator for when a minus four is tempting, a list of your players on set piece duty and a differential finder for low owned players who could help you climb.

How to use them before the deadline

  1. Settle the captain first. It is worth more than any single transfer. Our guide on who to captain explains how we think about it.
  2. Read the drop watch next. If a name shows up there two weeks running, plan his replacement now.
  3. Follow the roadmap. When the next few weeks are already covered, saving a transfer gives you two to play with later.
  4. Be honest with the hit calculator. A minus four only makes sense if the new player should outscore the old one by more than four points across the weeks you plan to keep him.
  5. Check who takes the set pieces. Penalties and corners add up to a lot of points over a season.

How the tips are made

The tips come from Fantasy Premier League data: prices, fixtures, minutes, expected goals and assists, and how each player has scored recently. The software weighs those numbers against your squad and your budget. It does not sit in on press conferences, so late team news can still change the picture. When a manager rules a player out on Friday afternoon, trust the news over the model.
