FPL Review gives expert managers a powerful projection model and solver to work with. FPLHERMES is built for managers who want a straight answer for their own team, with the reasons explained.
Updated 16 October 2026
The quick version
- Choose FPL Review if you enjoy working with projections, running a solver and tweaking settings yourself.
- Choose FPLHERMES if you want to upload a screenshot of your team and be told who to sell, who to buy and why — based on your money in the bank and free transfers.
What FPL Review does well
FPL Review is widely respected in the FPL community for its projections and its transfer solver, and it is sold as a monthly membership through Patreon. It suits managers who already understand expected points and want a deep toolkit.
What FPLHERMES does differently
- Screenshot your squad — no setup, no spreadsheets
- Plain-English advice: who to sell, who to buy, and the reason for each move
- Says when to hold — including when a −4 hit is not worth it
- Captain picks with a safe floor and a high ceiling
- Live points tracking during the gameweek
- Public accuracy record: every past gameweek shows our predictions next to the real points
Price
FPLHERMES is $5 a week after a 3-day trial. FPL Review's membership tiers are listed on its Patreon page; check there for current prices.
Can you use both?
Yes. Plenty of managers use one tool for raw numbers and another for a second opinion on their own transfers. If the two agree, you can make the move with confidence; if they disagree, read the reasons and decide.
