Fixture-run analysis

GW1-GW4 attack and defence splits with earlier gameweeks weighted more heavily.

Fantasy suitability

A 0-100 score blending upside, fixtures, minutes, value, leverage, and role security.

Minutes risk

Expected minutes and role security separate draft locks from wait-for-lineup punts.

Launch caveat

Official 2026/27 FPL prices, positions, ownership, and final transfers should overwrite placeholders at import.

Automation

Auto-generated content queue

The scouting model produces shareable pick cards, fixture threads, value shortlists, and watchlist briefs directly from the latest rankings.
