Question 1

What is the best FPL tool in 2026?

Accepted Answer

The best FPL tool depends on what you need. For transfers: FPL Copilot’s HiGHS MIP solver plans 1-10 gameweeks ahead. For predictions: the xPts table updates multiple times a week with xG, xA, and minutes data. For chip timing: the chip optimizer tests every valid combo for your squad. For mini-leagues: the tracker shows rival squads and title win probability. Free to try with a Pro trial.

Question 4

How does the AI transfer optimizer work?

Accepted Answer

The solver formulates FPL as a mixed-integer programming problem: 15 squad slots, 11 starters plus 4 bench, captain, budget, club limits. It maximises projected expected points across 1-10 gameweeks while respecting every FPL rule. Uses the HiGHS solver to test many transfer paths and catches multi-week plays a manual planner misses.

Question 5

When should I play my FPL chips in 2026/27?

Accepted Answer

You get two sets of chips in 2026/27: Wildcard, Free Hit, Bench Boost, and Triple Captain in each half of the season. Bench Boost and Triple Captain are available from GW1, Wildcard and Free Hit from GW2, and the whole first set expires at the GW19 deadline; the second set covers GW20-38. Hold BB, TC, and FH for confirmed double and blank gameweeks, and play the first Wildcard on a big fixture swing. The chip optimizer tests every combo for your squad in 30 seconds.
