Owned
Effective ownership would add captaincy share on top. FPL publishes no captaincy figure, so this is ownership alone and is labelled as such.

What this projection could see
The player table shows no minutes against this player, but his record has 18 played seasons in it — FPL files a season under the club it was played at. Every screen in this product projects him from that record.
Strengths, measured
Each block names a quality, the figure that earned it, and where that sits among forwards with 450+ minutes on record.
There is nothing to describe him with. FPL has published no minutes for this player, so every per-90 rate on this screen would be a division by zero dressed up as a statistic. The projection above is the honest substitute, and it says so.
The schedule ahead
The schedule the projection above is spread across. Each cell is the opponent, home or away, and how hard the match is on FPL’s one-to-five scale, where one is the easiest.
Set-piece duty
FPL lists him in no set-piece order. That is real preseason information rather than a gap: the orders are published now and are one of the few things about 2026/27 that is already known.

Unspecified injury - 75% chance of playing
Predicted lineups are not modelled here. Nothing in the public API publishes them, and a guessed eleven would be the one number on this page nobody could check.

His price has not moved since the game opened, which is true of nearly every player right now. There is no price history to draw, and drawing a flat line would suggest there was something to see.
Effective ownership — what actually decides how much rank a return is worth — needs captaincy share, and the public API publishes none. The figure above is ownership alone.

Shown beside this product’s rather than instead of it. In preseason FPL’s figure is quantised to one decimal and tops out at 4.0 for the best player in the game, so agreement in order is mild evidence and disagreement in level is expected.
The engines behind this page
Built from FPL’s own published season data — the player list, the fixture list and the points table — read together as one snapshot of the 2026/27 season and its 38 gameweeks. Points are counted with FPL’s published values rather than with a copy of them. A player's rate of scoring, assisting and keeping clean sheets is pulled toward a fixed population of 279 players with a completed season, independent of which individual records this screen fetched, so a short record is not read as confidently as a long one. Everything FPL does not publish is at this product’s own stated default.
One player in isolation is not a decision. Put him in the squad and the rules answer whether he fits; put him beside the alternatives and the question becomes answerable.
