Did your FPL team actually start?
Haaland is not in the squad. The armband passes to Salah if he plays. Rogers comes in from your bench if your captain stays on zero minutes.
Kudus is on the bench for Tottenham. If he comes on for even a minute, he keeps his place in your XI and scores himself.
Cucurella is not in our predicted XI for Chelsea. That is a prediction, not the teamsheet, and it settles when the official lineup drops.

- ALL FIFTEEN
Every pick checked against official lineups the moment they drop, and against our predicted XIs before they do.
- AUTO SUBS, PREVIEWED
Which bench player comes in, by the same rules FPL runs, tested against a full season of its published auto subs.
- CAPTAIN COVERED
A flag the moment your captain or vice misses the XI, so you know where the armband lands.
Zero minutes, not benched
A player is only replaced if he plays no part at all. One minute off the bench keeps him in your eleven, and he scores whatever he scores.
Your sub has to have played too
A replacement who also stayed on the bench cannot come in. If nobody on your bench played, the slot simply scores zero.
Your formation still has to be legal
FPL will skip a substitute who would leave you short at the back or without a striker, and move to the next one on your bench instead.
Keepers only swap with keepers
Your outfield bench cannot cover a goalkeeper. Only your second keeper replaces your first.
None of this happens when the teams are announced. FPL works it out once every match in the gameweek has finished, so anything we tell you before then is what is on course to happen, not what has.
Check any team any time, or connect once and never check again
The check above needs no account and stores nothing. Members connect their team once and get the alert by email instead, one per kickoff wave, only when something changes.
