How to use this

1. 1The chances at the top are the bookmakers' match-result odds with the margin removed, averaged across the books; the likeliest score comes from each side's expected goals. A clean sheet chance is the chance the other side scores nothing.
2. 2The picks on each side are the likely starters ranked by expected points this gameweek: goals and assists from the player markets, clean sheets from the match markets, with the start chance applied. Top 10k is the share of the best 10,000 managers who own him.
3. 3The likely elevens come from recent starts and FPL's flags, the same as the line-ups page; a doubt is shaded. They move with the press conferences, so check back on Friday.
4. 4Once the match is played the page keeps the odds as they stood before the deadline, adds the result and every player's points, and says how the picks did.
