Branthwaite started 5 of the last 5 gameweeks (90, 90, 90 minutes most recently). The chance of sixty minutes blends the site's own estimate (91%) with the xPoints model's (87%). Recent weeks count most; a solid bar is a start, a pale one is minutes from the bench.

GW5 estimates · 300 managers per cohort · Updated 3 Oct, 06:09 UTC

A daily sample spread across 20 rank bands in each cohort, using FPL's Overall standings at collection time (including its tie order). These are estimates, so small percentage differences can be sampling noise. Ownership counts all 15 players in the published GW5 squad, including the bench; transfers since the deadline are private. EO (effective ownership) uses FPL's scoring multipliers: captains count twice, triple captains three times, and only scoring players count. EO includes FPL’s finalized substitutions.

Daily since 9 Aug: blue is price, grey is ownership, dots are the days the price moved.
