Metrics explained
What Score, xGI, FDR and the other labels mean across Pitchline.
Pitchline rankings & player stats
- P. score
- Pitchline’s own ranking score. It blends form, expected involvement, value for money, and the next fixtures — then flags availability risks.
- Form
- FPL’s form rating based on points in recent gameweeks. Higher usually means hotter.
- xGI
- Expected goal involvements — how many goals and assists the underlying chances suggest, not just what finished.
- Own%
- Ownership percentage — how widely held the player is across FPL. Low ownership can mean a differential.
- £
- Player’s current Fantasy Premier League price, in millions of pounds.
- Why
- A short summary of what’s driving the Pitchline Score — form, fixtures, ownership, or fitness flags.
- Pos
- Playing position: goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, or forward.
Squad advice
