ONSIDE AI COACH · BETA

Ask anything about your FPL squad

Captain calls. Transfer paths. Chip timing. Grounded in your live 15-player squad — never generic, never hallucinated, never stale.

QUICK ANSWER

What is the Onside AI Coach?

The Onside AI Coach is an FPL-trained assistant that answers any question about your squad using three live data sources: your 15 players, the Onside projection engine, and the live fixture + set-piece database. It refuses to answer if the data is stale so you never get hallucinated player names. Free tier includes 3 questions per day; Season Pass (£24.99 early-bird) unlocks unlimited.

What Coach can do

Q

Captain decisions

Ask "should I captain Haaland or Bruno this week?" and get a numeric verdict with the model's reasoning — fixture difficulty, form, set-piece exposure, head-to-head history.

Transfer paths

Plan multi-week transfer chains. The coach evaluates 2-3 transfer alternatives against the projection engine and shows you EV deltas plus the rank-change probability.

Chip timing

When should you Wildcard? Free Hit? Triple Captain? Coach reads your remaining chips and the live fixture calendar to recommend optimal weeks.

Differential research

Coach knows which players are below 10% ownership AND projected to over-return. Ask "who's the best £6m midfielder I don't already own?" — get a ranked answer.

Live decisions

During live gameweeks, ask about late team news, injury swaps, and bench discipline. Coach has access to the live squad data and pre-deadline price changes.

Demo: how Coach answers

YOU ASK

Should I bench Saka if Arsenal away to Manchester City?

COACH RESPONDS

No. Saka has 7 goal involvements in his last 6 vs Man City, and FDR-adjusted projection still ranks him as your #3 starting attacker even in this fixture. The bench candidates with lower projections are: [Player A, Player B]. Confidence: high (8/10).

YOU ASK

When should I use my Wildcard?

COACH RESPONDS

GW10. Your squad has 5 players with FDR ≥4 across GW10–GW14, and 3 of them are <70% ownership (meaning the rank reset opportunity is genuine). Wildcarding earlier wastes information; later means rivals do it first.

YOU ASK

Who's the best differential midfielder under 8% ownership for the next 5 GWs?

COACH RESPONDS

[Player X] at 7.3% ownership. Projection: 5.8 pts/GW over the next 5 (vs the £6.5m bracket average of 4.1). Set-piece role confirmed Tuesday. Captaincy upside in GW3 only — pair with a template captain for ceiling.

Examples illustrate format; live data populates Player A / Player X / etc. once your squad is connected.

Common questions

How does the FPL AI Coach work?

The Coach is an LLM grounded in three live data sources: your 15-player squad, the Onside projection engine, and the live fixture + set-piece database. It refuses to answer if it lacks data, so you never get hallucinated player names or stale stats.

Is the AI Coach free?

3 questions per day on the free plan. Unlimited questions are included in the Season Pass (£24.99 early-bird). Both tiers have full coach capabilities — only the daily limit differs.

Does the Coach know my actual FPL team?

Yes, after you connect your FPL team ID in /account. The Coach reads your live 15-player squad before every answer, so "should I captain Haaland?" gets a personalised response based on your specific squad context.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT has no access to live FPL data — no ownership %, no live form, no set-piece confirmations, no your squad. Coach has all of it. Coach also cites which Onside model it's using and gives confidence scores; ChatGPT cannot.

When does the AI Coach launch?

Free-tier beta is open NOW. Unlimited tier opens when the FPL season opens (mid-August). Join the waitlist to be notified the moment the unlimited tier is available.
