AI FPL predictions, graded in public
Onside is an AI engine for Fantasy Premier League: per-player point projections, weekly captain calls, a full squad optimiser and score predictions for all 380 fixtures — and unlike almost every other AI FPL tool, the accuracy record is published, misses included.
What does Onside's AI do for FPL?
What the AI actually does
One engine, many surfaces. Every tool below runs on the same projections that carry the graded record — and every one of them is free.
Nine signals, one number
For every player, every gameweek, the engine blends nine independent signals — covering form, fixtures, availability, team context and market information — into a single projected-points number. It retrains weekly, every Tuesday morning, so the projections always reflect the latest matches, injuries and price moves. The exact recipe stays private; the score doesn't. What we publish instead is the part that matters to you: how close the predictions land, measured in the open.
Graded in public, misses included
Across 83 decided World Cup 2026 matches, the model's favourite came through 68 times — a 81.9% hit-rate, graded match by match on a public scoreboard with every miss on display. On the FPL side, the same engine's projections carry an MAE of 0.86 across 51,518 out-of-sample predictions — ahead of FPL's own expected-points benchmark (0.896).
The AI + FPL questions, answered properly
FPL AI — FAQ
What is the best AI for FPL?
The honest answer: the one that shows you its scoreboard. Onside's AI is graded in public — MAE 0.86 points per player per gameweek across 51,518 out-of-sample predictions, beating FPL's own ep_next benchmark (0.896), plus a 81.9% favourite hit-rate across 83 graded World Cup 2026 matches. Most AI FPL tools publish no accuracy record at all, which makes "best" unverifiable. See /fpl-ai/best-tools-2026-27 for an honest shortlist including competitors.
How accurate are AI FPL predictions?
Onside's model predicts FPL points with a mean absolute error of 0.86 — measured out-of-sample across 51,518 predictions spanning two seasons, against FPL's own expected-points figure at 0.896. The same engine's World Cup 2026 record was graded in public after every match: 68/83 favourites right (81.9%). Full breakdown, benchmarks and honest limits at /fpl-ai/accuracy.
Can AI pick my FPL team?
Yes. Onside's squad optimiser builds a full 15-man squad within the £100m budget and FPL's position and club rules, using the same projections that carry the graded record. You can also use the weekly captain shortlist, the transfer planner and per-fixture score predictions for all 380 matches. All of it is on the site now — start at /squad-builder or the dashboard.
Is Onside free?
Yes. The projections, captain picks, squad optimiser, 380 score predictions, predicted table, set-piece intel, price-change tracker and the full accuracy record are all free to use at onsidearena.com. No sign-in is needed to read any of it.
