The Briefing

The week, read for you

What the numbers noticed this week — rising form, purple patches and the players whose underlying game has changed before their points have.

The EasyFPL Scout's Desk, ranking the players whose form is turning.
What it does

What lands on the desk

Rising form

Players whose underlying numbers have turned upward before the points have followed. This is where a transfer is cheap, because the market has not moved yet.

Purple patches

Runs that are outperforming what the chances justify — useful to sell into, and the opposite signal to rising form.

Routes to points

The different ways a player can score: a defender on set pieces, a midfielder taking penalties, a forward who gets bonus for shots on target alone.

Read without a Team ID

The desk needs nothing from you. It is the one part of the site you can use before deciding whether to paste an ID at all.

Every claim traces back to a number

Nothing on the Desk is an opinion with a byline. Each piece is written off the same board the rest of the site runs on, so a sentence about a player in form is a rank you can go and look at.

  • Written from the projections, not around them
  • Every player named links to his own page
  • Rewritten each gameweek, never left stale

Worth knowing

Why it is not a tip sheet

It shows the working

Every entry names the number that put it there. If you disagree with the number, you should disagree with the entry.

It is not ranked by points

Points already scored are what everyone else is looking at. This ranks by what has changed underneath them.

It updates with the data

Rebuilt four times a day, so it reflects Thursday and Friday press conferences rather than last weekend.
