Est. points on Copycat = form × fixtures

The formula

Estimated points = form × next-fixture multiplier.

Multiplier is 6 − FDR (easy FDR 1 → ×5, average FDR 3 → ×3, tough FDR 5 → ×1).

Optional minutes trim exists in the helper; Market and transfers use the simple form × fixture path.

What it is not

Not an FPL API field.

Not a machine-learning model.

Not permission to flame someone in chat because ‘the model said 8.2’.

Use it to compare relative upside this GW — then apply your own brain.

Where you’ll see it

Market player table (Est column).

Transfer suggestion IN targets.

Captain shortlist on Squad (same heuristic).
