Over the course of three months, more than 200 testers have kindly dedicated their time and efforts to beta test our FPL tool. It’s time for the next step. Let’s press play and go live.

5 August

That’s the date we release. That’s the day we go public. What a rush it is to write just that. If you haven’t already, we’d suggest following our socials: @solioanalytics on Twitter and Bluesky. From now until launch, we’ll post updates, some definitely in the “you don’t want to miss this” category. 

Oh, you can’t wait and want a sneak peek of something coming up next week? How about a real-life exclusive with @robtFPL? On Wednesday 30 July, we’re releasing our second YouTube video, featuring the content premiere of RobT. Together with Pras and Jonny, they’ll talk about market odds, decision-making, projections, and much more. Well worth the wait, and the watch, on our YouTube channel.

 You heard about that on Twitter already? Well...

The Beta Test

As mentioned at the top, the beta test is now complete. From the completion of our MVP last autumn, and through the final few weeks of phase 3, the level of dedication and feedback has been both heartwarming and impressive. Those are the best words for it. When you work on something for a long time, it’s always a bit scary to let others try it out. Turns out our fear wasn’t warranted.

If you didn’t take part, believe us when we say that the number of hours these testers have put in to improve, break, comment, test, and engage with our FPL tool is remarkable. Their efforts have had a real impact on what others will see come 5 August. We couldn’t be prouder to be part of a community willing to go the extra mile, and then some.

Phase 3 of our beta also included a small competition. Testers were asked to play through the first eight gameweeks of this year’s FPL. The three overall winners, one from each testing phase, were Filip, Ted, and Tish. Congratulations! We hope you enjoy a full-season subscription to the FPL tool. And if you're looking for one insight from those eight gameweeks: Chris Rigg of Sunderland has probably used up his share of positive variance for at least a couple of seasons.
