Glossary
Words used on this site, in plain language. Agents can treat each heading as a term.
xP
Expected points: the pre-cutoff forecast of FPL points for a player or squad. In the 2025/26 replay this comes from the locked forecast file, except Gameweek 1 which had none.
FDR
Fixture Difficulty Rating from the FPL fixture export, 1 (easier) to 5 (harder). Reconstructive pages use the final-season export, so mid-season revisions may not match what managers saw live.
T-120 freeze
Live product rule: lock odds, minutes and the plan two hours before the official FPL deadline, hash the JSON, and do not edit after results. Not used for the 2025/26 reconstructive pages.
Reconstructed cutoff
Historical rule used for 2025/26: first kickoff minus 90 minutes, rebuilt after the season. Honest for “what the artifacts contain”, not a live freeze.
Approach / arm
One policy run on the same cutoff. Template rolls transfers. Optimiser is the selected forecast plan. Evidence is the same-state evidence arm (identical to the optimiser in every 2025/26 gameweek folder).
Hit
Four points deducted per transfer beyond free transfers. Gameweek 34’s 8-point hit means two extra transfers.
Net points
Official FPL points for the starting XI (captain multiplied) minus hit cost. Bench scores only with Bench Boost or auto-subs.
JSON snapshot
The downloadable twin of a page, at the same path plus /snapshot.json, with a SHA-256 digest in the trust strip and X-Snapshot-Hash header.
Illustrative sample
