FPL Draft Assistant: Waiver Wire Rankings, Start/Sit & Trade Analyzer
FPL Draft is the Premier League's own draft game: every manager in a league drafts a 15-player squad, and each player can belong to only one manager in that league. There is no budget and no captain, so the game is won on the waiver wire, in the weekly start/sit decision and in trades with the rest of your league.
Import your league with its id and TheFantasyTool ranks every free agent by predicted points over the next gameweeks, picks the highest-scoring legal XI from your squad, and puts a predicted-points value on any trade. FPL Draft scores exactly like Fantasy Premier League, so these are the same predictions behind our FPL player picks - expected goals, expected assists, predicted minutes and clean-sheet probability from live match odds.
What the FPL Draft assistant does
Enter the number from your league's address (draft.premierleague.com/league/12345) and choose your team. Ownership is read live from FPL Draft, so a player picked up on waivers an hour ago is already off the free-agent list.
- Waiver wire - every unowned player ranked by predicted points over 1, 3 or 5 gameweeks, with the player in your squad he would replace and the points you gain
- Start / sit - the highest-projected starting XI from your 15, inside the Draft formation rules, and what changed from your last line-up
- Trade analyzer - pick the players you give and the players you get and see the predicted points on both sides
- League view - every manager's projected best XI for the next gameweek next to the table and the waiver order
How FPL Draft scoring works
Points are scored exactly as in Fantasy Premier League: appearance points for minutes played, goals by position, assists, clean sheets, saves, defensive contributions, bonus points and the usual deductions. Because there is no captain, a player's predicted points count once - which makes the depth of your XI matter more than in classic FPL.
- Appearance: 1 point under 60 minutes, 2 points for 60 or more
- Goals: goalkeeper 10, defender 6, midfielder 5, forward 4 - assists 3
- Clean sheets: 4 for a goalkeeper or defender, 1 for a midfielder
- 1 point per 3 saves - penalty save 5 - penalty missed -2
- Defensive contribution: 2 points at 10 for a defender, 12 for a midfielder or forward
- Deductions: yellow -1, red -3, own goal -2, and -1 per 2 goals conceded by a goalkeeper or defender
Squad rules, waivers and trades
Your squad is 15 players - 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 forwards - and you start 11: one goalkeeper, 3 to 5 defenders, 2 to 5 midfielders and 1 to 3 forwards. Any swap therefore has to keep those position counts, which the trade analyzer checks for you.
Claims on unowned players are processed as waivers before each gameweek - for Gameweek 6 the waivers ran 24 hours before the deadline and the trade deadline was 48 hours before it - in your league's waiver order, which the league view shows.
- Squad: 2 GK, 5 DEF, 5 MID, 3 FWD - 11 starters, 4 on the bench
- No budget and no prices - each player can be owned by one manager per league
- Leagues of 2 to 16 managers, classic (total points) or head-to-head
Frequently asked questions
What is FPL Draft?
FPL Draft is the official Premier League draft fantasy game at draft.premierleague.com. Managers in a league take turns drafting players, so every player belongs to at most one manager in that league. There is no budget and no captain, and squads change through waivers, free agents and trades.
Is FPL Draft scoring the same as Fantasy Premier League?
Yes. The scoring values FPL Draft publishes are the same as classic FPL's - goals, assists, clean sheets, saves, defensive contributions, bonus and deductions - so our FPL predicted points apply directly. The difference is that there is no captain, so nothing is doubled.
How do I find my FPL Draft league id?
Open your league on draft.premierleague.com. The number in the address, draft.premierleague.com/league/12345, is the league id. Enter it here and choose your team from the list of managers.
Who should I pick up on waivers?
The waiver wire tab ranks every free agent in your league by predicted points over the next one, three or five gameweeks, and shows which player in your squad at the same position he would replace and how many predicted points you would gain.
Is the FPL Draft assistant free?
Importing a league, the rosters, availability and fixtures are free. The predicted points behind the waiver ranking, the best XI and the trade values are included in Full Access - which has a 7-day free trial; a card is required and you can cancel any time before the trial ends - and in the FPL plan.
