Points from the official FPL feed, after transfer hits. Winner compares our team with the FPL Experts.
The three sides. Our team is our real FPL entry — fifteen players, a bench, and only the transfers the rules allow. FPL Experts is the eleven the official Fantasy Premier League experts pick each week (published by the Premier League as the Scout Selection): a fresh team every week with no transfer limits. The Model XI is what our model picks automatically under those same fresh-eleven rules, with no human judgment. The FPL Experts lead the model 5–1 after six gameweeks, 365 points to 386. We keep it up because the misses are part of the record; Gameweek 1's Model XI is reconstructed, because the model did not exist yet. A gameweek is graded once FPL confirms its points. Our forecasting record for every player is on the scorecard.
