Frequently asked questions
How does the Sofascore Premier League optimal team work?
It uses your players' predicted points and the game's squad rules to compute the single highest-scoring legal line-up, including captain and bench.
Can I use it to plan a wildcard?
Yes — the optimal team is ideal for wildcard and free-hit planning because it ignores your current squad and finds the best possible team from scratch.
