Sam Fielding

What this byline is

Sam Fielding is a name, not a person. It is the voice of a small news desk that writes about Fantasy Premier League from numbers: expected points, clean sheet chances, captain picks and price changes, all built from the market's prices and scored in public. We use one byline so that the pieces read as one voice, and we say so here because a byline should not pretend to be something it is not.

The pieces are drafted with the help of a language model working from our numbers and from the reporting of trusted outlets, then read, checked and published by the desk's staff. Match-day reaction pieces go out at full time after an automated check of every number against the data; the desk reads them afterwards and pulls any that fall short. Reported facts are attributed to whoever said them. We never say a player is out unless FPL has flagged him or two trusted outlets agree.

If a piece is wrong, tell us at hello@impliedfantasy.com. It is fixed, and the correction is noted on the piece. The press page has the facts about the site and a logo pack.
