The buy score combines current form, points per 90 minutes, fixture difficulty, and transfer momentum into a 0–100 confidence rating. Alternatives are filtered to the same position within ±£1.5m of Welch's price and ranked by recent form. All data sourced from the official FPL API, refreshed every 3 hours.
