Which FPL Team Rater Should You Use?

1. Try a free rater first; three in this guide cost nothing to use.
2. Enter your team ID, not your password. No tool here needs the password.
3. Rate your team after the deadline, when FPL publishes your locked picks.
4. Check whether a tool publishes its accuracy before you trust its rating.
5. Pay only if you want a move for your team, not just a score.

A team rater looks at your squad and gives it a score, so you get a quick second opinion without building a spreadsheet. It is a health check, not a crystal ball. A good rating should leave you with a sense of where the squad looks strong and where it looks thin.

The rating is only as useful as what sits behind it. That is why it is worth knowing what each tool actually offers around the rating, and whether it tells you how it has performed.

Fantasy Premier League publishes every manager's picks only after the deadline passes. So between deadlines, any tool that reads your team is reading the squad FPL last locked, not the transfers you have lined up in your head.

That is true for every tool in this guide, so it is no reason to rule one out. It does mean the best time for a straight reading of your team is just after a deadline, and that any changes you are planning need to be judged separately.

To load your team you only need your team ID. It is the number in the web address of your Points page on the official FPL site. No tool needs your FPL password to read your team.

Here is what each tool lists as free, as of 25 October 2026:

• Fantasy Football Scout: Assistant Scout is free and includes key articles, news, community, basic fixture data and a team rating.
• Fantasy Football Hub: an AI team rating is free, though you need to give an email address.
• FFIQ: a free team rater called FPL Rate My Team, with no account needed.
• FPL Review: the free projection model in the planner.
• LiveFPL: live rank, leagues, price predictor, planner and ticker, all free.
• Fantasy Football Fix: a free account.

For FPL Review, LiveFPL and Fantasy Football Fix, the free offering as listed is not described as a team rating, so check what you get before you sign up.

If a rating is all you want, you may never need to pay. If you want more, here is what the others charge:

• Fantasy Football Scout: Chief Scout from £3.25 a month, billed annually. It suits people who like articles, a community and a podcast alongside data tools.
• Fantasy Football Hub: Starter from £2.49 a month, billed yearly, which is a 50%-off sale price. It suits those who want AI transfers, a planner and podcasts.
• Fantasy Football Fix: Premium at £3.48 a month, billed yearly, a limited-time price. It includes ChatFPL, which lets you chat about your team.
• FPL Review: paid access goes through Patreon. It suits people who want projections, a planner and a transfer solver.
• LiveFPL: an optional subscription removes ads. It suits anyone who mainly wants live rank and the price predictor.

The ticket prices are not the whole story, because a sale or limited-time price can change. Check the current price before you commit.

Ask whether the tool publishes how it has performed. Among the tools here, Fantasy Football Scout, Fantasy Football Hub, LiveFPL and Fantasy Football Fix are listed as not publishing accuracy. FPL Review does not publish it as a figure. That does not make their ratings wrong, but it means you cannot check them against a record.

Also ask whether you can talk to the tool about your team. Fantasy Football Fix lists ChatFPL for this. FPL Review and LiveFPL are listed as having no AI chat about your team, and Scout and Hub do not list one.

Finally, treat any score as one input. Your free transfers, the four-point cost of each extra transfer and your chip plans all matter more than a single number.

FFIQ's FPL Rate My Team is free and needs no account, so it costs you nothing to try alongside the others. The free side also gives you a projection for every player six gameweeks ahead, predicted line-ups, and the weekly captain and transfer calls.

Premium is for people who want the move for their own team before every deadline: captain, transfers, chips and line-up, in the War Room. It also includes IQ, an AI you can ask anything about your team, your mini-leagues, and price-rise alerts the night before. Every call combines 34 calculations with an algorithm that keeps updating as the scenario changes.

It is not the cheapest option. Premium is £5.99 a month, the Founding Season price, which is 60% off the standard £14.99, or £59.99 a year. Your first month is free; a card is needed and you can cancel any time. FFIQ publishes its record, with picks made before each deadline and scored on FPL's results, misses included. It never asks for your FPL password, and a Scout member can run FFIQ alongside their Scout membership.

Start free. Run your team through a couple of raters just after a deadline and see whether they agree. If they point the same way, you can be fairly confident in the reading.

If you enjoy reading and talking FPL, Scout or Hub may suit you. If you want a solver and projections, FPL Review is worth a look. If you want live rank, LiveFPL is hard to beat on price, because the core tools are free. If you want a specific move for your team each week, that is where FFIQ is aimed.
