About this hub

FPLai News is a weekly Fantasy Premier League desk built around the deadline. Before every gameweek we publish captain picks: a safe option for protecting rank, a balanced option and a differential for chasing, each with ownership, fixture and the model’s final call.

After the final whistle, the gameweek review covers the heroes, the villains and the captaincy verdict, so you can see which calls paid off and why. Each week the AI also drafts a budget-legal wildcard squad before the deadline and scores it against real FPL points once the gameweek is done — no hindsight, every result kept.

The page refreshes on every build: new pieces land at the top of Every edition, and older gameweeks and seasons stay linked below. Read the newest captain picks first, then open the Captain Matrix, Buy & Sell or Fixture Difficulty tools, or run your own squad through the Team Analyzer before you lock in.

Protecting rank? Haaland. Chasing it? N.Jackson.
