FPL 2025 Gameweek Points Predictor
Welcome to the Fantasy Premier League 2025 Gameweek Points Predictor! This tool helps you estimate a player's potential FPL points for a single gameweek based on your predictions for their performance. Whether you're planning transfers, captaincy choices, or just curious about a player's potential, input their expected stats below to get an instant points forecast.
Understanding FPL Points and How to Use This Calculator
Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is a global phenomenon where millions of managers compete by picking a squad of 15 real-life Premier League players. Points are awarded based on their actual performances in matches. Mastering the FPL scoring system is key to climbing the ranks.
The FPL Scoring System Explained (Key Points):
- Playing Time: Players earn 1 point for playing up to 59 minutes, and 2 points for playing 60 minutes or more (excluding stoppage time).
- Goals: Goalkeepers and Defenders get 6 points per goal, Midfielders get 5 points, and Forwards get 4 points.
- Assists: All players receive 3 points for an assist.
- Clean Sheets: Goalkeepers and Defenders earn 4 points if their team keeps a clean sheet (no goals conceded) while they play 60 minutes or more. If they are substituted off and a goal is conceded later, they still get the clean sheet points if their team was clean while they were on the pitch for 60+ minutes.
- Bonus Points: At the end of each match, a Bonus Points System (BPS) awards 3, 2, and 1 extra points to the top three performing players in that game. This is based on a complex algorithm considering various on-field actions.
- Saves (Goalkeepers): Goalkeepers get 1 point for every 3 saves made.
- Penalty Saves (Goalkeepers): Goalkeepers get 5 points for saving a penalty.
- Conceding Goals (Goalkeepers/Defenders): Goalkeepers and Defenders lose 1 point for every 2 goals conceded by their team (if they play 60+ minutes).
- Yellow Cards: -1 point.
- Red Cards: -3 points.
- Own Goals: -2 points.
- Penalty Missed: -2 points.
How to Use the FPL 2025 Gameweek Points Predictor:
This calculator simplifies the prediction process by allowing you to input your best guess for a player's performance in an upcoming gameweek. Here's how to get the most out of it:
- Select Player Position: Choose the correct position (Forward, Midfielder, Defender, Goalkeeper) as point allocation for goals and clean sheets varies.
- Expected Minutes Played: Estimate how many minutes you expect the player to feature. This impacts playing time points and clean sheet eligibility.
- Expected Goals/Assists: Based on form, opposition, and player role, predict their attacking returns.
- Clean Sheet Achieved: For Goalkeepers and Defenders, tick this box if you expect their team to keep a clean sheet.
- Expected Bonus Points: This is often the trickiest to predict. Consider the player's BPS history, their role in the team, and the expected competitiveness of the match. A star player in a dominant win might get 3, while a solid but unspectacular performance might yield 1 or 0.
- Disciplinary Actions/Own Goals/Penalties: Input any expected negative events. While rare, these can significantly impact a player's score.

Example Scenarios:
Let's look at a couple of examples using realistic FPL predictions:
- Scenario 1: Star Forward (e.g., Erling Haaland)
- Position: Forward
- Expected Minutes: 90
- Expected Goals: 1
- Expected Assists: 0
- Clean Sheet Achieved: No
- Expected Bonus Points: 2
- Expected Yellow Cards: 0
- Expected Red Cards: 0
- Expected Own Goals: 0
- Expected Penalties Saved: 0
- Expected Penalties Missed: 0
- Calculated Points: 2 (minutes) + 4 (goal) + 2 (bonus) = 8 points
- Scenario 2: Attacking Defender (e.g., Trent Alexander-Arnold)
- Position: Defender
- Expected Minutes: 90
- Expected Goals: 0
- Expected Assists: 1
- Clean Sheet Achieved: Yes
- Expected Bonus Points: 1
- Expected Yellow Cards: 0
- Expected Red Cards: 0
- Expected Own Goals: 0
- Expected Penalties Saved: 0
- Expected Penalties Missed: 0
- Calculated Points: 2 (minutes) + 3 (assist) + 4 (clean sheet) + 1 (bonus) = 10 points
- Scenario 3: Goalkeeper with Saves (e.g., Alisson Becker)
- Position: Goalkeeper
- Expected Minutes: 90
- Expected Goals: 0
- Expected Assists: 0
- Clean Sheet Achieved: Yes
- Expected Bonus Points: 0
- Expected Yellow Cards: 0
- Expected Red Cards: 0
- Expected Own Goals: 0
- Expected Penalties Saved: 1
- Expected Penalties Missed: 0
- Calculated Points: 2 (minutes) + 4 (clean sheet) + 5 (penalty save) = 11 points
