Best FPL Tools 2026/27: What Each One Is For
Six Fantasy Premier League tools, what each is known for, and which to pick for what you need. Written by FPL Dave, so not neutral: see how it was put together below.
The short version
- FPL Dave: You want projections, odds and a planner in one place without paying, and you want to see how accurate the projections have been.
- Fantasy Football Scout: You want to read expert analysis and discussion every gameweek, not just look at numbers.
- Fantasy Football Hub: You want Opta-level stats and to follow what named expert managers are doing with their teams.
- Fantasy Football Fix: You want deep stats tables to filter yourself, or price change predictions.
- FPL Review: You are an experienced manager who wants a solver to optimise transfers over many gameweeks.
- LiveFPL: Your main need is watching your rank move during a gameweek.
Most serious managers use two or three of these together: one for projections, one for reading, one for live tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best FPL tool?
There is no single best one. It depends on what you want: written expert analysis (Fantasy Football Scout), deep Opta stats (Fantasy Football Hub, Fantasy Football Fix), a transfer solver (FPL Review), live rank tracking (LiveFPL), or free projections, odds and planning in one place (FPL Dave). Many managers use two or three together.
Are there good free FPL tools?
Yes. FPL Dave is free, including projected points, clean sheet odds, fixture tools and the team planner. Several other sites have free tiers with a paid membership for extra features. The official Fantasy Premier League site and app are free and are where you actually make your transfers.
Do I need a paid FPL tool to do well?
No. Paid tools save time and add depth, but the decisions that matter most (captain, transfers, when to play chips) can be made well with free data. A paid membership is worth it if you will actually use what it adds, such as Opta stats tables or a transfer solver.
How do I know if a tool's projections are any good?
Ask whether it publishes a track record that was fixed before the matches were played. A projection site that only says it is accurate is asking to be believed. FPL Dave freezes its projected points before every deadline and grades them in public afterwards, next to two simple baselines.
Who wrote this comparison?
FPL Dave wrote it, so it is not neutral. To keep it fair, every description of another site is taken from that site's own homepage (checked on 8 October 2026), no prices are quoted because they change, and the page says where another tool is the better choice.
