Update: myfpl browser extension

I have created a browser extension for fantasy.premierleague.com also called myfpl, that provides a host of UI updates and also makes fpl real time.

myfpl calculates league standings and points in real time, by computing real time bonus and making auto-subs, during the actual gameweek.

The extension also lets you plan for future gameweeks natively and gives a useful browser popup to keep track of games and h2h matches.

You can find out more about the extension at https://myfpl.net/.

Currently the core commands are:

Live leagues

• See other people's teams and your league standings way before fpl updates. All standings and teams are based on real time scores, which are adjusted for bonus and substitutions. Output also includes every players captaincy choice and transfer hits. It can be used on leagues of any size, inclduing the overall league.

Fixture

• Get real time scores from PL fixtures, including goals, assists, cards and bonus.

Gameweek

• See how your gameweek is going by viewing your real time score, adjusted for bonus and substitutions.

Team

• Team command is intended for users who want to plan for future gameweeks. It will correctly display the team you have selected for next gameweek, transfers made and chips available.
• You will be prompted for your team id, fpl email and password, the first time you use this command, as your current team line up is private. Your email and team id will be cached locally, but never your password. The next time around you will only be promtped for your password. You can always clear the cache by running myfpl -c.

Note

Information about all commands can always be found by running:

$ myfpl --help
