FPL Captain Analysis
Captain Analysis compares selected candidates using official FPL form, fixtures/FDR, minutes, goals, assists, xG/xA when present, and ownership. Optional AI insights interpret those structured facts — they do not invent numbers.

Is the AI an official FPL recommendation?
No. AI text is CrunchClash interpretation of calculated evidence and is clearly labeled.
What is the public chart showing?
Five available outfield players with the highest official form, scored with the same heuristic as the workspace. It is an example, not your shortlist.
Can I pick my own candidates?
Yes, after you sign in. The workspace search is not billed; running the comparison is.
