FPL Tips FAQ
Who should I captain in FPL this gameweek?
The captain picks below are ranked by FPL’s own next-gameweek expected-points model, restricted to players who are confirmed available and have played regular minutes this season — check the availability list first, since a doubtful player is a risky captain choice.
What is an FPL differential?
A differential is a lower-ownership player with strong underlying stats, picked to gain rank on the overall FPL leaderboard rather than just following the crowd. The list below is capped at 5% ownership.
