Gameweek 3

Deadline passed — Sep 4, 8:30 PM

Data updated: Sep 13, 2:31 AM

This gameweek already finished before these scores were generated - they reflect today's data, not a locked pre-deadline record.

Gameweek 3 deadline is Fri 4 Sep, 5:30 PM. Top captain pick: Haaland. Buy of the week: Wissa. Watch: Moore carries real sell risk. 3 squad-relevant availability concerns to check before the deadline.

What do these scores mean?

Buy Score: 0–100. How strong the case is to own this player right now - form, fixtures, and value all weighed together. Higher is stronger.
Sell Risk: 0–100. How much this player's role is fading - lost minutes, tough fixtures, injury doubt. Higher means more reason to consider moving them on.
Captain Score: 0–100. Expected returns if armbanded this gameweek specifically - not the same as Buy Score, since a great long-term hold can still be a risky captain pick this week.
Team Rating: 0–100. Your whole squad's overall health across starting XI strength, bench depth, captaincy, fixtures, and value - see the full breakdown for how each factor scored.
FDR (Fixture Difficulty Rating): 1 (easiest) to 5 (hardest), FPL's own official rating of how tough an upcoming opponent is.
Differential: A strong Buy Score player that few other FPL managers own - a real chance to gain ground, not just keep pace.

Per-player points below will show once Gameweek 3 kicks off - the season and Buy/Sell/Captain scores are still current.
