How it works
Four steps. Then it is just Saturday.
FPL Desk wraps a mini-league you already run. Nothing moves on the FPL side — your league, your rules, your scores — the desk just gives the group somewhere to watch it happen and something to argue about afterwards.
01
Create an account
Email and password, or sign in with Google. Members make an account as well — it is how the desk knows which row is theirs — but nobody except the admin is ever asked for a card.
02
Wrap your FPL league
Open your mini-league on the FPL site, copy the address out of the bar, and paste it in. We check it while you type and show you the league name and how many managers it holds before you commit. No FPL password, ever — the classic table is public, and reading it is all we do.
03
Set the rules
If the group plays for money, set the stake, the currency and the gameweek the ledger starts from. Lowest score after hits pays in, ties split, and anyone who was not in the league that week is skipped. If the group does not, pick “no money, just the desk” and the pot never appears. Either way it is one switch in settings later.
04
Invite the group
Send one link — by message, by email, or straight into the group chat. Each manager joins, picks their team off the roster so the board can highlight them, and the desk is live for everybody at once. Up to 30 managers, and none of them pay a penny.
On the desk
What the group gets
Every member sees the same desk. Only the admin ever sees a bill.
The whole league, written up
NewsCaptains, benches, chips, hits, panic buys and the managers who did nothing at all — every side gets reported on, not just the ones who transfer. Same stories every refresh, written for the group chat.
Gameweek board
LivePoints after hits, chips in play, and who is currently wearing last place — refreshing while the fixtures are on.
Last-place ledger
The potOptional. Set the stake, an optional second-last, the currency and the week it starts from. Ties split, and we keep the running total — settling up is between you.
Who has glass left
ChipsWildcard, Free Hit, Bench Boost, Triple Captain — played or still sitting there, for the whole league.
Armband watch
CaptainsWho captained whom, who Triple Captained, and whether it is paying off this week.
Manager pages
SquadPitch, hits, bench and form for any team in the league. Claim your FPL side so the desk knows which row is you.
Worth knowing
Three things people ask before they start
We never ask for your FPL login
A classic mini-league table is public. Paste the link and we read it — that is the whole integration. There is no field for an FPL password anywhere on this site, because there is nothing we could do with one.
The pot is optional
Plenty of leagues run the desk with no money in it at all. If you do play for a last-place stake, we keep the ledger and nothing else — we never collect stakes, hold deposits or pay anyone out. Settling up is between you.
Built for 30 managers, not ten million
This is a mini-league tool. Past 30 managers a last-place pot stops meaning much and the per-manager detail stops loading quickly, so that is where the cap sits. Larger leagues can split into groups.
FAQ
Setting it up
Is this official FPL?+–
No. FPL Desk is an unofficial companion. We are not affiliated with Fantasy Premier League, the Premier League, or the FA. Scores come from the public FPL API.
Do you take the pot money?+–
No. The pot is a ledger so the group can see who owes what. We never collect stakes, hold deposits, or pay anyone out. Settle it in the pub.
Do we have to play for money?+–
No. The last-place pot is optional. Turn it on when you wrap the league, or leave it off and use the desk for live scores, chips and news only. You can change your mind later in settings.
How big can the league be?+–
Up to 30 managers. FPL Desk is built for classic mini-leagues, not the 10-million-strong overall table. If yours is larger, split it or pick a smaller group.
Do I need my FPL login?+–
No. Paste the public classic-league link (or the ID). Managers claim their team from the roster so we can highlight their row — we never see FPL passwords.
Someone already wrapped our league.+–
An FPL classic league can only sit on one desk. Ask them for the invite link and join theirs.
