Our team brings you predicted lineups for every Premier League team - reacting to press conferences, fitness updates and how each manager actually rotates, rather than generating XIs from a model. Formations, kit-coloured XIs, and the reasoning in plain English.
Out, Doubts (with chance-of-playing percentages where FPL publishes them) and suspensions for every club, plus the latest word on rotation risk - the pre-deadline Fantasy Premier League sweep in one page.

No - they are predicted lineups, put together by our team from press conferences, injury news and how each manager tends to set up. Confirmed Premier League lineups only arrive an hour before kick-off; these predicted XIs are built for planning ahead of the Fantasy Premier League deadline.
Continuously through the week as team news lands - each team section shows when it was last updated. The closer to the FPL deadline, the firmer the prediction.
Out is injured or otherwise unavailable, Doubts are fitness concerns (with the chance of playing where Fantasy Premier League publishes one), and Banned is suspension. The notes carry the detail - what the injury is and any expected return.
We mark our own homework: once the fixtures are played, every predicted XI is scored against the confirmed lineup, and the page shows our accuracy overall, gameweek by gameweek, and club by club - the percentage of predicted players who actually started. Scoring runs every Tuesday morning, once the round is complete.
