Used on draft night

Four friends, one Fantasy Premier League draft, a 90-second clock per pick. Draftline sat next to the official draft room and kept the best legal picks on screen.

  • It reads only the public draft feed, works out the random snake order at kickoff, and drops players as they go.
  • Rankings come from a deterministic model: positional replacement levels, projections, injuries, and whether a player will survive until my next turn.
  • A language model explains the top choices in two sentences. It cannot change the ranking or make a pick. Picks stay manual.
  • Friends’ names are replaced before anything reaches the screen or the model.

Tests cover all 60 snake slots, roster limits, stale data, and the rule that it never sends a pick.
