# About FPL Review

fplreview.com was launched at the start of the 2018/19 season to provide data-driven tools for Fantasy Premier League managers. What started as a personal project has since become a trusted FPL analytics resource.

The original site was built around two ideas:

• Player projections based on bookmaker odds with editable expected minutes (xMins). Combining betting market inferrences with xMins into a single reference point that managers could adjust with their own knowledge.

• Feedback on decision quality using xG data and market odds, adjusted for minutes played. This became the Season Review tool, based on analysis comparing highly-regarded managers with actual top performers.

# Evolution Over Time

Since the site launch, some additions worth highlighting over the years have been:

• The Planner to complement projections, with pitch view format (August 2019) and multi-draft storage (2022/23)
• The Massive Data Model incorporating performance data, market information, and tactical shifts. Iterated annually since 2020, extending beyond the original bookmaker based modelling
• Transfer Solver starting as single-period (2019/20), then multi-period solving (2022/23), sensitivity analysis and chip timing (2023/24), and Linear Optimisation (2024/25)
• Season Review providing exact data-based ranks as of 23/24, having used estimates based on sampling in original versions

Development continues across the site with ongoing improvements and new features.
