MINI-LEAGUE DIFFERENTIAL MATRIX

Find the picks your rivals don't have

The matrix scans your mini-league's squads, finds the differentials, and ranks them by projection. The picks that move rank — not generic "differentials" that blank.

QUICK ANSWER

What is a mini-league differential?

A mini-league differential is a player whose ownership in your specific league is much lower than the global ownership baseline. Picking them gives you upside the rest of your league doesn't have — the mechanic that moves rank in small and mid-size leagues. The Onside matrix surfaces them ranked by projection edge, not just by low-ownership noise.

How the matrix works

  1. 01

    Connect your league

    Paste your FPL mini-league code from fantasy.premierleague.com. Free tier supports one league; Pro tier supports unlimited.

  2. 02

    Matrix computes deltas

    For every player, we calculate the difference between your league's effective ownership and the global ownership baseline. Players >15 percentage points lower in your league are flagged as high-leverage differentials.

  3. 03

    Filter by projection

    The matrix ranks differentials by Onside's projection edge: only picks whose AI-projected EV exceeds the baseline league average appear. No "differentials" that are merely cheap blanks.

  4. 04

    Captain divergence overlay

    For each gameweek, the matrix flags weeks where YOUR league's template captain has elevated blank probability AND a differential alternative has elevated haul probability. These are the 2-3 captain divergences per season that move your league rank.

  5. 05

    Chip timing tracker

    See which of your league rivals have used their Wildcard / Free Hit / Triple Captain in real time. The matrix recommends optimal counter-timing for your remaining chips.

Common questions

What is a mini-league differential in FPL?

A mini-league differential is a player whose ownership in your specific league is much lower than the global ownership baseline. Picking them gives you upside the rest of your league doesn't have — the precise mechanic that moves rank in small/mid-size leagues.

How does the differential matrix work?

The matrix fetches your league's standings + each manager's squad, computes effective ownership per player, and contrasts it against the global baseline. Players >15 percentage points lower in your league rank as high-leverage differentials, filtered by the Onside projection edge.

How many leagues can I connect?

Free tier supports 1 connected league. Season Pass (£24.99) supports unlimited connected leagues with the full matrix per league + a cross-league summary view that finds picks that swing multiple leagues at once.

Does the matrix update live?

Yes. The matrix re-computes every time FPL's daily ownership update lands (roughly 02:30 BST), and re-fetches your league's standings every gameweek deadline.

Why is mini-league strategy different from overall rank?

Overall rank requires owning the template. Mini-league rank requires owning what your specific rivals don't. The same squad performs differently in different leagues — the matrix shows you exactly where the leverage is in YOUR specific league composition.
