The Pundit

What it does

Talk captain calls, transfer hits, bench points and rivalries with The Pundit. Answers draw on your league’s gameweek data, with the figures behind the verdict.

Three things run on AI:

• Questions about your league, asked the way you would ask a mate.
• A roast of one manager, on demand.
• A written gameweek roast for the whole league, in the tone you pick.

Everything else, the table, live scores, the bench receipt, lineups, ownership, head to head, awards, the player list, fixture difficulty, the planner, your week and your season, is free and stays free.

How it uses your league data

A useful verdict starts with facts. The Pundit looks up league data before answering, and written roasts are checked against the underlying results.

The numbers are worked out before it writes. Points, ownership, prices, transfer costs, fixtures and the rules of the game are all computed from the official Fantasy Premier League data. The Pundit supplies the commentary; the app calculates the numbers.

Roasts are checked against league facts. If a written roast fails those checks, you get the underlying data receipt instead. These checks reduce mistakes; they do not guarantee that every sentence is right.

It shows its working. An answer comes with the figures behind it, so you can check any claim before you paste it into the group chat.

It only sees your league. It reads through a small set of specific functions, each of which checks for itself what you are allowed to see. It cannot wander into somebody else’s league.

It stays on FPL. Programming, homework and general knowledge are turned down here, before anything is sent anywhere, so a wasted question costs you nothing from your allowance.

What it cannot do

It can still be wrong, and it can phrase something true in a misleading way. It has no idea what will happen on Saturday, and nothing it says is advice. It cannot see or change your real FPL team, and this product has no way to make a transfer for you.

Scores are provisional until a gameweek settles. Bonus points move, substitutions resolve late, and the game rescores goals days afterwards. Anything provisional is labelled as such, and the write-up is redone once the gameweek is final.

What happens to what you type

Your question, recent messages needed for context, and the league facts needed to answer it go to Anthropic, who run the model that writes the reply. They do not use it to train anything. BanterBoost does not keep a server-side chat history. We record that a request happened, which feature it used and what it cost to run, without the conversation text.

Your browser tab keeps recent chat history so you can return after navigating or reloading. It is kept separately for each viewer and league. Starting a new conversation clears that history.

A written league roast is saved so that a shared link opens without paying for it twice. That is published writing about a public league rather than a private conversation.

What it costs

• Signed in: 5 free questions to try it. That is 5 in total, not 5 a month, so it does not come back.
• Pro: 100 a month.
• Signing in is what switches it on. Everything else works without one.

That ceiling is a fair-use brake rather than an unlimited plan, and this product will not use the word “unlimited” about it. It sits at roughly ten times what somebody having a very good season gets through, so a person will not meet it and a script will.

Where the line is

Roasts are about football decisions: a captain who blanked, a bench that outscored the team. Never about a person, their appearance, their family or anything protected. If you see something that crosses that line, it is a defect rather than a matter of taste. See acceptable use for the rules and how to report it.
