Where these GW4 tips come from

Everything on this page is generated by the same model that powers the whole site: five-component Fantasy Ratings blended with expected goal involvement, projected over upcoming fixtures. Captain picks are ranked by projected points; transfer targets by value score (projected points per million); differentials are capped at £6.5m and 10% ownership. The page refreshes automatically as data changes - no hot takes, and the full methodology and three-season backtest are public on the methodology and accuracy pages.

Tips are a starting point, not a plan. To see what these picks mean for your squad - whether the move is worth a hit, this week or next - run the team planner on your own team.
