How to use
"Live" Dashboard
Well, actually, I do not want to set a false expectation here. Open FPL "Live" Dashboard is not really real-time but it is quite close though - match results and player points are updated every minute while, unfortunately, ranks are only updated after matches finished. This is mostly due to some technical limitations which are needed to keep Open FPL free and open for everyone while also does not put much workload on the data source side. However, Open FPL will keep improving and maybe one day it will truly be "live" while still free.
Anyway, the objective of this page is to give you a quick overview of the current and future FPL Gameweeks. It is packed with the information that you would want to know about in the ongoing matches - e.g. score, and player points, automatically updated without refreshing the page. It also shows you the fixtures of next gameweek, deadline and gameweek's top transfers to help you see the current trend and make a good decision based on it.

Player Explorer
This page explains the data embeded in Player Card and how to use each component in Player Explorer page.
Player Card
Player Card is the main way to display player statistics in this app. It is used in Player Explorer Grid view and Team Planner. The following describes the anatomy of a Player Card.
Player Data
Player data is scraped from FPL and Understat which is updated once a day around 02:00 AM - 03:00 AM GMT+0.
Search for players
Filtering
Player Search Bar supports free text search which will do fuzzy search on players' full name hence if you typed "Paul", the search results would show (Paul) Pogba and (Paul) Dummett.
It also supports search query syntax like when you do email search. For example, if you want to specifically find a player based on their name FPL page you can use field search name like shown below:
id- FPL IDname- FPL web namecost- FPL player's cost rangeposition- FPL positon (FWD, MID, DEF, GKP)team- FPL short team name (e.g. MUN, LIV, MCI)
You can also do field keyword combination to expand your search results, for example, if you want to search for players from Manchester United OR Liverpool you can do the following:
Or if you want to narrow down your search result you could append anoter field search query, for example, the following will show Manchester United midfield players
Sorting
You can sort the results by using the dropdown besides the search text box or the menu button on each table header column if you are on Table view mode.
Display mode
You can choose between three display modes: Grid, Table and Chart, each of which shows slightly different data to fit their visualisation.
- Grid consists of the most important player statistics that focuses on the recency and player form to give you a quick glance of how a player has been performed and what their next opponents are.
- Table shows more detailed statistics for each player to give your the overall player profile if you decide to dig deeper in each player performance.
- Chart shows alternative visualisation that aims to help you compare between different players easier.
Team Planner
Team Planner is where you plan your team lineup, transfer, chip usage, and captain strategy for upcoming gameweeks. It also supports adding your own custom players for your most anticipated players coming into your teams!

Simply input your FPL ID there and you're good to go! You can also set up multiple profiles if you have more than one team.
Please do note that all data is auto-saved on your machine and not on our server so no one can take a peek on your plan!
Team planning
Once you've set up your profile, you can plan your lineup for the next gameweek. Open FPL will automatically pull and sync data from your actual FPL team. However, due to a technical limitation, that we cannot pull your team data before FPL makes it public so your team will be synced only the morning after the current gameweek deadline has passed.
Each player is respresented by a card. The anatomy of the player card is almost the same as described in Player Explorer but displayed in a more compact form. It also shows player's selling price instead of their actual price, and there are buttons to set up captaincy, substitute players, and make a transfer on the right hand side of the card which will be appeared once you hover your mouse there. in a menu which will be appeared once you tap on the card.

Please do note that there is a limit of how many plans you can have depends on what browser you are using. Since some browsers have regular update and the size limitation can be changed any time so it is hard to say how many plans you can have.
