FPL is full of opinions. We help turn yours into a plan.
Solio is the most advanced tool for planning FPL. It combines your football knowledge with Opta data and sharp betting markets, then uses a stochastic optimisation engine to inform your FPL decisions.
Solio FPL tool
FPL asks you a lot of questions each week:
- Which transfers to make?
- Should you take a risk?
- When to use your chips?
- Who gets the armband?
- Roll the transfer or use it?
- Is it worth taking a hit?
- When to Wildcard?
- Bench Boost or Free Hit?
- Is he nailed?
- Template or differential?
- Chase the mini-league or play it safe?
- Which defence to back?
- Sell before the price drop?
- Triple Captain the double?
- Who sits on the bench?
- Premium forward or midfielder?
- How to plan for the blank?
- Bring him in now or wait a week?
These questions get complicated fast. No single question is too difficult, but each one adds a new dimension to plan.
The Solio FPL tool is built to help you answer these questions and thousands of others.
It’s built to combine what you know about football with what we know about data.
Think a player will get more minutes?
Change them.
Fancy a team to do better than the market expects?
Adjust their strength.
Chasing in your mini-league?
Tell the tool that you prefer to engage with risk.
When you’re done adding your beliefs, the tool works through the possible outcomes to find the plans that make the most sense for your FPL team.
We call it “beliefs backed by data”.
How does it work?
At the core of the Solio FPL tool sits our projection model and our stochastic optimisation engine. Together, they turn a lot of information, uncertainty, opportunities for risk, and possible decisions into a plan.
Projections
Our projection model combines Opta data and live sharp market signals to predict team and player outcomes.
It’s composed of over a dozen machine learning components with hundreds of inputs, each crafted individually and backtested over many seasons.
As the information changes, so do the projections
We spend hours reviewing our minutes projections and making player-level updates before and after each Gameweek.
Fully editable and dynamic
Our projection model is fully editable and dynamic, so when you bring your own beliefs, all other projections are adjusted for consistency.
Never standing still
Because new information arrives all the time, neither the model nor its projections stand still. It isn't simply a record of what has already happened. It's our best estimate of what is most likely to happen next. And it updates in real time, so there's no need to refresh.
Stochastic optimisation
There is one slight problem with planning the future: we don't know what is going to happen. Rather than pretending otherwise, our tool accounts for uncertainty.
- Chip usage
- Transfers
- Fixture swings
- Injuries
- And so much more
Solio is the only FPL tool that lets you build and compare different strategies across possible outcomes, and see how each decision affects the bigger picture.
Many possible futures
Instead of assuming one set of projections will come true, stochastic planning considers different possible futures and how likely each of them is.
Decisions that adapt
Your future decisions don't have to be the same across every path. A player might get injured, lose their place, or suddenly become a much better option.
The value of waiting
The tool can recognise something surprisingly difficult to put a number on – the value of waiting for more information and keeping your options open.
The benefit over deterministic planning is simple:
Don’t just plan for what you currently think will happen, plan for what you can do when it doesn’t.
The result is increased flexibility and less fragility when FPL inevitably doesn't go to plan.
Pricing
For pricing, we like to keep things simple and think try-before-you-buy should be a given. We are offering two subscriptions:
Costs nothing and lets you learn and explore the tool with some restrictions.
Lets you use everything the tool has to offer, including customising every projection to match your own belief.
Solio has a global audience and local taxes or VAT may apply depending on where you live. These are calculated and shown at checkout before you purchase using Stripe.
