Questions

What does the FPL chance of playing mean?

FPL marks players 75%, 50%, 25% or 0% likely to play the next gameweek, based on club news.

Should I sell an injured player?

Not always. If he is back within one or two gameweeks, rolling a free transfer can be better. The free planner weighs it for your team.

How often is this list updated?

Every three hours from FPL's own data.
