The broadsheet of fantasy football

Every player.
Every gameweek.
Predicted.

Play Index predicts every FPL player’s points — per player, per gameweek. Built on xG, form and fixtures, with the uncertainty shown rather than hidden. And it works inside Claude and ChatGPT.

Player directory & World Cup 2026 tools are free — no card needed.

The board updates each gameweek.

Projected points and match predictions land here as soon as the model runs for the next round of fixtures.

Predictions & compare

A number for
every name.

Projected points for every player, every gameweek — with boom and bust probabilities, ceilings and the reasoning behind each number. Sort it, filter it, argue with it.

Hits, priced
properly.

A full 15-man optimal squad under the real budget, transfer suggestions with the −4 maths done for you, and chip timing that’s argued from the fixture list — not vibes.

The FDR that
watches the
football.

The official 1–5 difficulty badges barely move all season. Our fixture outlook is built from rolling xG and xGA — so when a “hard” opponent stops creating chances, the model notices before the badge does.

Receipts culture

A range, not a single number — and the misses published next to the wins.

Every projection carries its uncertainty out in the open: boom and bust probabilities, clean-sheet odds, confidence bands. Where the model is unsure, it says so. When it’s wrong, it shows its working.

One model.
Two ways in.

Predictions for every player, the optimiser, fixture outlook, traits, and match predictions & model insights — everything the model produces, all season.

  • Per-player points projections, every gameweek
  • Squad, transfer & chip optimiser with hit maths
  • xG-based fixture difficulty outlook
  • Match predictions & model insights
  • Mini-league analysis & player deep-dives
