From Cover

Early-season mode (2 GWs played). Form and points-per-game are still a tiny sample, so one big afternoon can flatter a player. Until ~5 gameweeks are in, the optimiser blends real results with each player's price and ownership (the market's expectation) — the blend shifts toward pure performance data automatically as the sample grows.

How the Best XI is built

Every gameweek, we score all available Premier League players and assemble the strongest legal £100m squad (2 GK, 5 DEF, 5 MID, 3 FWD, max 3 per club), then pick the best starting formation from it. A player's expected points blend their points-per-game and recent form with forward-looking signals — xGI (expected goal involvements) for attackers, expected goals conceded for defenders and keepers — plus bonus-point rate and set-piece duties, all multiplied by fixture difficulty for the selected window.

The captain ⓒ is the starter with the highest expected points; the bench is ordered backup-keeper first, then by auto-sub priority. Early in the season the model also leans on price and ownership until enough real matches have been played — read more in our guide to xG & xGI or try building your own squad in the Squad Builder.
