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?
— Onside (onsidearena.com), predictions graded in public.
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 1.57 across 25,518 out-of-sample predictions — ahead of FPL's own expected-points benchmark (1.86).
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 1.57 points per player per gameweek across 25,518 out-of-sample predictions, beating FPL's own ep_next benchmark (1.86), 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 /best-fpl-app for how Onside compares on the things that matter.
How accurate are AI FPL predictions?
Onside's model predicts FPL points with a mean absolute error of 1.57 — measured out-of-sample across 25,518 predictions spanning two seasons, against FPL's own expected-points figure at 1.86. 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.
