How does the AI FPL team builder work?

It uses projected points (Fantasy Rating + xGI ensemble) and a mixed-integer linear program to pick the 15-player squad that maximises points for the next gameweek, under FPL’s £100m budget, three-per-club limit, and position quotas.

Is the AI team builder free?

Yes - free, no signup required.

Does the AI team builder pick captain?

Yes. The builder picks captain and vice-captain automatically by projected points for the next gameweek.

When should I use the AI team builder?

Best for season-start drafts and wildcard weeks when you’re rebuilding from scratch. Use the Team Planner instead for week-to-week transfer planning around your existing squad.

An AI team builder that solves the squad, not just the stars

Anyone can name the three best players in FPL. The hard part of a team builder is the other twelve: which enablers free up the budget, which £4.5m defender actually plays, and how to spread three-per-club risk. This builder treats that as a mathematical optimisation - it searches every legal 15-player combination under the £100m budget and position quotas and returns the squad with the highest total projected points, captain and vice-captain included.

Builder or planner?

Use the AI builder when you are starting from a blank slate: the pre-season draft, a wildcard, or a free hit. It answers "what is the best squad money can buy this week?" with no attachment to your current team. During the season, the team planner is usually the right tool - it starts from the squad you actually own and finds the best path forward, transfer by transfer. The projections behind both are identical (validated on the accuracy page), so the builder makes a good wildcard sanity check: if its dream squad shares 12 players with yours, your wildcard can wait.
