How these picks are made

Expected points (xP) come from each player's expected goals and assists, minutes, defensive contributions, bonus and the opponent's strength, using FPL's official scoring. Before every deadline we lock our picks and publish them with a tamper-proof timestamp, then score them after the gameweek — check our record.
