Fantasy Premier League expert and football tipster Holly Shand is back to look at how you can use AI to back your selections ahead of the 2024/25 FPL season.


Use AI to Win at FPL

Fantasy Premier League is becoming increasingly difficult to succeed in, with the pool of engaged managers growing. But Fantasy Football Hub can help you win your FPL mini leagues.

AI is at the heart of Fantasy Football Hub: every player has a predicted point score for each gameweek and these are used to provide a team rating for Gameweek 1.

Members can access the recommended AI best team for Gameweek 1 and then their recommended AI transfers once the season is underway.

In 2023/24, Fantasy Football Hub managed a real FPL team using the AI best team as a starting point and then its own transfer recommendations and finished in the top 1% - beating 99% of human managers.

And that's not all - the new AI Assistant Chatbot is here to give you instant advice and answers to all your burning questions. Need to know who to transfer in? Struggling with captain choices? Just ask.

Rate our selections using AI

Each week here on Betfair, there are special FPL bets covering the biggest games and talking points of the gameweek.

Will Mohamed Salah hit double digits against a promoted team in Gameweek 1 for the sixth time when he visits Ipswich Town? He's averaged 11.8 points in his Gameweek 1 performances and AI predicts him to be the highest scorer on opening weekend, on 7.6 points.

Erling Haaland is favourite for the Golden Boot this season and typically starts fast, scoring a brace in his two previous Gameweek 1 appearances. He tops the AI predictions among forwards for opening weekend, with a prediction of 7.2 points.

Elsewhere, Arsenal look to be the best bet for a clean sheet when they entertain Wolves in Gameweek 1. Five of the top six AI predictions for defensive players are from the Gunners defence, with Gabriel and Ben White leading on 5.4 predicted points.
