Signals

A signal only influences a squad when it can actually separate players. When the underlying data is missing it is marked as not reporting, sits at a neutral 50 for everybody, and is said so plainly here rather than being invented.

Status

Every signal has at least two homes among the bots, so no single bot owns an idea and one bot's bad season never silences a signal outright.

Transfers

Squads move before the fantasy data catches up, so the live match feed is read for real club-to-club business as well as scores.

Where the data comes from

  • Players, prices, points, expected goals and ICT : the official Fantasy Premier League API.
  • Kick-off times, live and final scores, the real club table and club transfers: the live match feed, which is the primary source for real-world results. football-data.org is the backup for fixtures and remains the source for pre-season friendlies.
  • Fixture difficulty ratings: the FPL API, refreshed with every sync.
  • Weather at kick-off: Open-Meteo, keyed to each stadium's coordinates.
  • Bookmakers' odds: only present once an odds provider key is configured. Until then the market signal reports as inactive rather than guessing.
  • Team news and injury flags: blended from the official FPL status field and an external injury/press API when configured. If neither is present, the availability signal reports as not reporting and no one is guessed as fit.
