Ownership
Percentage of FPL squads that have picked B.Fernandes right now.
Elo Glicko-style skill rating. It updates match by match and carries across seasons rather than resetting, so it is not a count of points scored.
It is built on 2 games, so most of this rating is still the starting assumption every player begins from, with about 17 per cent of it measured. Expect it to move a long way once matches are played.
FAPR Fixture-Adjusted Performance Rating. Adjusts PPG based on opponent difficulty faced.
PvE Performance vs Expected. Compares actual output to expected goals/assists. Shows if player is over or underperforming.
2026 World Cup load
B.Fernandes played 448 minutes for Portugal, short of the 450 minute line, so this rating is held a little less firmly than a player who had the whole summer off.
Every rating carries a second number for how firmly it is held, called the rating deviation. A bigger deviation means the rating is less settled, so it moves further and faster once matches are played. It is not a mark against the player.
None of this is scored into the Elo rating. A World Cup is played against different opposition under different conditions, so counting it as Premier League evidence would make the number harder to defend. What a summer changes is how settled a rating is, not what it says.
