Getting started

The essentials: what the app does, where it works and how to set it up.

What is We Play FPL?

We Play FPL is a Fantasy Premier League companion for planning gameweeks, researching players and fixtures, comparing options, following live information and bringing connected FPL tools into one app. Version 5.0 includes the AI Team Optimiser, Fantasy Connect, the advanced Planner, player and team research, community features, widgets and English and Arabic support.

Is We Play FPL available on iOS and Android?

Yes. We Play FPL 5.0 is available for iPhone and iPad through the App Store, and for Android phones and tablets through Google Play. Features that depend on a particular operating-system capability may look or behave slightly differently on each platform.

How do I create a We Play FPL account?

Choose the sign-in method you want to keep using for your account. You can add an FPL Team ID during setup when offered, or later from Edit Profile.

  1. Open We Play FPL and tap Get Started.
  2. Continue with Apple, continue with Google, or enter a phone number and verify the six-digit code.
  3. Complete the profile details requested by the app.
  4. Add or confirm your FPL Team ID if you want team, league and connected features to use it.

How do I change the app language?

Open Settings, select Language, then choose Use Device Language, English or Arabic. Arabic uses a right-to-left layout. Your selection is saved until you change it again.

Is We Play FPL an official Premier League or FPL app?

No. We Play FPL is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or officially connected to the Premier League or Fantasy Premier League. The official service remains the authority for your team, points, rules, deadlines and submitted actions.

02Plan and connect

FPL tools

How connected actions, recommendations and future-gameweek planning work.

How do I connect my FPL account with Fantasy Connect?

Fantasy Connect is a We Play FPL Plus feature. It opens the official FPL sign-in experience inside the app. Your official credentials are entered into the official page, not into a We Play FPL form.

  1. Open the Planner and select the plan for the next actionable gameweek.
  2. Choose Fantasy Connect and continue to the official FPL sign-in page.
  3. Sign in to the official service and follow any verification it requests.
  4. Return to the plan and choose Apply Transfers or Apply Lineup when the planned squad is valid.

You can disconnect the official session from the device. Disconnecting does not delete your official FPL account or your saved We Play FPL plans.

What can Fantasy Connect apply to FPL?

Fantasy Connect can help place supported transfers and line-up choices from the next actionable Planner gameweek into the official FPL interface.

  • Transfers, Wildcard and Free Hit choices are prepared for review, but you must press the final confirmation control in the official FPL interface yourself.
  • Supported formation, bench-order, captain and vice-captain changes can be saved only after the app matches and validates all 15 planned players.
  • Future Planner gameweeks are not silently applied, and We Play FPL does not make background team changes.

Always check the official FPL page before the deadline to confirm that the intended action was accepted.

How does the AI Team Optimiser work?

The AI Team Optimiser uses mathematical optimisation, prediction data and the constraints you choose to build a recommendation. Depending on the mode, it can assess your current team, suggest transfers, or build Wildcard and Free Hit squads across selected gameweeks.

You can control inputs such as budget, planning horizon, locked or excluded players and club preferences. Recommendations are decision support, not a guarantee of points, player availability, price changes or rank improvement.

What can I do with the FPL Planner?

The Planner lets you create squad drafts and map transfers, chips, formations, captain choices and bench order across future gameweeks. You can move through gameweeks without changing your official FPL team.

A saved plan remains a We Play FPL scenario. It becomes an official action only if you separately complete it through the official FPL service, including a supported Fantasy Connect flow.

Why does some information differ from the official FPL service?

FPL and football information can update at different times after deadlines, matches, price changes or official corrections. The official FPL service remains the source of truth for your team, points, rank, prices and submitted actions.

If something looks stale, check your internet connection, compare it with the official service, then reopen or refresh the relevant screen where a refresh control is available. We do not promise a fixed refresh interval for every data type.

What should I check if Fantasy Connect or a plan will not load?

Start with the checks below. Error messages in the Planner often identify the specific squad or deadline issue that must be fixed.

  • Confirm that the device has a working internet connection and that the official FPL service is available.
  • Make sure your profile has a valid FPL Team ID and the plan is for the next actionable gameweek.
  • Check that the plan has 15 valid players, a legal starting XI, bench order, captain and vice-captain.
  • Complete any sign-in or verification request shown by the official FPL page.
  • Reopen the feature or disconnect and reconnect the official session if it remains stuck.

03Membership

We Play FPL Plus

What Plus includes and how store-managed purchases work.

What is included with We Play FPL Plus?

An active monthly or annual We Play FPL Plus subscription unlocks the current Plus entitlement, including:

  • full access to the AI Team Optimiser;
  • Fantasy Connect for applying supported transfers and line-up choices through the official FPL interface;
  • the ability to save AI recommendations as Plans;
  • unlimited FPL Plans;
  • predicted points for every gameweek;
  • full access to the AI Rotation Scout;
  • an ad-free experience; and
  • the option to verify your FPL account and display a verified-account badge.

Transfer confirmation remains your responsibility in the official FPL interface. The purchase screen shows the current plan and included features before you subscribe.

What is the difference between monthly and annual Plus?

Both durations unlock the same Plus entitlement while the subscription is active. The difference is the billing period and the price shown in the App Store or Google Play purchase screen. Both are auto-renewing subscriptions unless you cancel future renewal through the store.

How do I restore a Plus purchase?

Open the We Play FPL Plus paywall and select Restore Purchases at the bottom. Use the same We Play FPL account and the same App Store or Google Play account used for the original purchase.

Restoration works when the store and subscription entitlement recognise an active or restorable purchase. If a valid purchase is still not recognised, contact support and include the platform you purchased on—never send payment-card details.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions are billed and managed by Apple or Google. Open Settings in We Play FPL, choose We Play FPL Plus or Manage Subscriptions, then continue to the store’s subscription controls. Cancellation stops a future renewal; access normally continues until the end of the paid period.

Deleting the app or deleting your We Play FPL account does not cancel a store subscription.

How do I add a verified-account badge?

Account verification is a Plus feature. Add a valid FPL Team ID to your profile, open Settings and choose Verify Your Account. The app then opens the official FPL sign-in page on your device so it can confirm the connected team. Your official credentials are entered into that official page, not into a We Play FPL form.

When verification succeeds, the badge appears beside your We Play FPL profile name. Changing the linked Team ID removes the verification until the new team is verified.

04Make it yours

Widgets, alerts and account help

Personalise the app and find the right next step when you need help.

What home-screen widgets are available?

We Play FPL includes transfer-deadline and league-standing widgets on iOS and Android. Add them from your device’s home-screen widget gallery. The league widget needs a linked FPL Team ID and may ask you to choose one of your classic leagues in the widget settings.

Widget refreshes are managed by the operating system, so the exact timing can vary. Open the main app if a widget needs fresh account or league information.

How do I control notifications?

Open Settings, then Notifications, to choose available topics such as transfer-deadline reminders, expected price changes, news and articles. You can also change We Play FPL notification permission in your device settings and mute individual conversations from their chat controls.

Notification delivery is not guaranteed, so do not rely on an alert as your only reminder of an FPL deadline.

How do I delete my We Play FPL account?

Open Settings, choose Delete Account and reauthenticate with your current sign-in method. After reauthentication, confirm the deletion in the app.

Deletion removes or anonymises the core account information described in the Privacy Policy. Copies of messages already shared with other users and records needed for safety, legal or backup purposes may remain. Account deletion does not cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription.

How do I contact support?

Email support@weplayfpl.com with a short description of the problem, your platform and the screen or feature involved. Screenshots are useful when they do not reveal private information.

Do not send passwords, verification codes, payment-card details or official FPL credentials. For billing issues, include the store platform and a non-sensitive purchase reference if available.

Still need help?

Tell us what is getting in the way.

Include your platform, the feature involved and what you expected to happen. Never send passwords, verification codes, payment details or official FPL credentials.
