What is coachme?
coachme fpl — the short version, and the long one
coachme is a Fantasy Premier League sidekick for managers who love the game but don’t have hours to give it. Connect your team and, before each deadline, coachme does the reading on fixtures, form, injuries and the latest team news, then hands you a clear captain pick, a bench order and a transfer plan for your actual squad. The transfer call isn’t a knee-jerk one-in-one-out — it’s whatever sets your team up best over the next three to five gameweeks, whether that’s no move, one, or several, worked around your chip strategy and your own preferences so you stay in control rather than chasing last week’s points. Everything is explained in plain English, and you always make the final call. coachme is free to start, with an optional paid tier, and is not affiliated with the Premier League.
How it works
Connect your squad once with your FPL team ID. From then on, coachme follows the same team you do.
- Before each deadline, it does the reading — fixtures, form, minutes, injuries and the latest team news — and works out what each player in your squad is likely to return.
- It turns that into three calls: who to captain, what order your bench should be in, and a transfer plan for the next three to five gameweeks.
- You decide. Nothing is applied to your FPL team automatically. Every suggestion comes with the reasoning in plain English, and you make the final call yourself.
The transfer plan, not the transfer
Most FPL advice answers one question: who should I bring in this week? That question has a way of costing you points two gameweeks later — a knee-jerk move made after a bad Saturday, paid for with a hit, undone by a fixture swing nobody looked at.
coachme plans over three to five gameweeks instead. Sometimes that means no move at all and a banked transfer. Sometimes it means one. Sometimes it means several, in a particular order, over a particular stretch. It is worked around your chip strategy, so a transfer this week does not undo a Wildcard or Bench Boost you are building towards, and around your own preferences — lock the players you do not want moved and set how much risk you want to carry, and the plan is built around the team you actually want to run.
Frequently asked questions
What is coachme?
coachme is a Fantasy Premier League assistant that, before every deadline, gives you a clear captain pick, a bench order and a transfer plan for your squad — planned three to five gameweeks ahead around your chip strategy and explained in plain English — so you make a confident call in about ninety seconds a week. It’s free to start, with an optional paid tier.
Is coachme free?
coachme is free to start, and you don’t need a card to try it. The free tier gives you your captain pick, a first transfer suggestion and the deadline countdown each gameweek. There is an optional paid tier that adds the full multi-gameweek transfer plan, chip planning, per-player breakdowns, your gameweek debrief and deadline notifications. You can use the free tier for as long as you like.
How does coachme work?
You connect your FPL team with your team ID, and coachme pulls in your actual squad. Before each deadline it does the reading — fixtures, form, minutes, injuries and the latest team news — and works out what each player is likely to return. That becomes three things for your squad: who to captain, what order your bench should be in, and a transfer plan covering the next three to five gameweeks. Every suggestion comes with the reasoning in plain English, so you can see why before you act on it.
Does coachme pick my team for me?
No. coachme suggests; you decide. Nothing is ever applied to your FPL team automatically — the captain pick, the bench order and the transfer plan are all suggestions you can take, change or ignore, and you make the final call yourself in the official FPL site or app. You can lock players you don’t want moved and set how much risk you want to take, so the plan is built around the team you actually want to run.
How far ahead does coachme plan?
Three to five gameweeks. The transfer call is not a knee-jerk one-in-one-out: coachme looks at where your squad is heading over the next few gameweeks and suggests whatever sets it up best over that stretch — sometimes no move at all, sometimes one, sometimes several — worked around your chip strategy so a transfer this week doesn’t undo a plan two weeks out.
