Team news
Automated from public club news feeds. Keyword cues are routing hints, not classifications, and nothing here changes any projection on this site. FPL's own status is shown beside every player and is the authority on availability.
Items come from three kinds of public feed — each club’s own site, the BBC and the Guardian — and each is labelled with which. The coloured tags are keyword routing, not judgements: they say a phrase appeared, not that a manager meant it. That distinction matters more than it used to. Richer feeds mean far more players get mentioned, and also far more keywords that do not mean what they look like, which is why the agreement rate above is low and printed anyway. Where FPL has published a status for a player it is printed beside them and is the authority. How we measure things.
