How the Predicted Lineups Are Built
- Expected minutes pick the XI. Each club's eleven are the players projected to play the most minutes, in a legal shape: one keeper, three to five defenders, two to five midfielders, one to three forwards.
- Team news moves them. Injury and press-conference news update the minutes through the week, so the lineups change on their own.
- The club's own shape wins ties. When two players are close on minutes, the formation the club used last time decides who starts.
- Rotation risks are named. A starter projected under 70 minutes is listed under his club's pitch.
Using Predicted Lineups in FPL
- Sixty minutes matters. A player needs 60 minutes for his second appearance point, and defenders and keepers need 60 for a clean sheet. A rotation risk in your XI is points you may not get.
- Bench the doubt, not the starter. Put the player least likely to start first on your bench, so the auto-sub covers him.
- Captain a nailed starter. The captain picks rank only players projected to start, and a Bench Boost needs all four substitutes in their XIs.
- Plan the whole squad on minutes. The solver uses the same minutes when it picks your best XI and your transfers, and Rate My Team flags any starter who might not play. Team news moves prices too: tonight's price changes show who managers are selling.
