Question 1

What is the expected points board?

Accepted Answer

It is Demon's table of predicted FPL points (xPts) for the next few gameweeks. Each player has a number per gameweek and a total, so you can see who looks strongest over the run you care about. Tap a player to open their breakdown.

Question 2

What does xPts mean?

Accepted Answer

xPts is the points we think a player will score in that gameweek, on average. It is not a promise — a high xPts player can still blank. Use it to rank options first, then check minutes if something looks off.

Question 3

What does xMins mean, and how do I change it?

Accepted Answer

xMins is how many minutes we think they will play. If you disagree — rotation, a rest, or a locked start — tap the player and use the slider under Your Edits in the breakdown. The xPts on the board updates and turns yellow so you can see it is your call.

Question 4

What happens when I tap a player?

Accepted Answer

You get that gameweek's breakdown: where the points come from, such as goals, assists, clean sheets, DefCon, bonus and cards. Flip gameweeks with the arrows, change xMins if you need to, or jump to their profile or Compare.

Question 5

How does this board feed the rest of Demon?

Accepted Answer

These are the same projections the rest of the site uses. Planner uses them when you build or tweak a squad. Solver uses them to find a high-xPts team or transfer plan for the gameweeks you pick. Compare uses them when you put two players side by side. You are not looking at a different model on each page.

Question 6

How should I use the board?

Accepted Answer

Choose how many gameweeks to show, then filter by position, team or price. Sort by a gameweek or by Total. Tap anyone you are considering. If the minutes look wrong, fix them in the breakdown before you trust the number.

Question 7

Is the board free, and what should I open next?

Accepted Answer

This board is free. When you have a shortlist, Compare two options, open Planner to fit a pick into your team, or run Solver if you want Demon to build the squad from these numbers.
