Overview
Fantasy Premier League Player Stats Scraper
Scrape official Fantasy Premier League player stats, teams, gameweeks, and fixtures in one flat dataset. Every player row includes price, total points, form, ownership percentage, goals, and assists. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
The Fantasy Premier League website gives you a table you cannot easily export, and the official API returns nested JSON that needs cleaning before you can analyse it. This Actor reads the same public FPL API endpoints and flattens every record into a clean row. You get the data you need for your mini-league dashboard, weekly transfer decisions, or season-long model without writing a single line of code.

| Content creators | Pull the latest player stats to power a team-selection article or video. |
| Data analysts | Build a season-long dataset of player performance to train a points-prediction model. |
| Mini-league admins | Track team values and player ownership across a private league. |

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your Team and Position filters. If you set both to a combination that does not exist, such as a forward for a club that has none listed, the Actor returns an empty dataset. Clear the filters and run again.
The player prices look wrong.
The Actor returns the exact values from the official FPL API. Prices are in millions and reflect the current gameweek. A player listed at 12.5 costs 12.5 million.
I asked for 500 players but only got 200.
The FPL API returns only the players that exist in the game. If you filter by a single team, you will get at most the squad size for that club. Remove the Team filter to get the full player list.
The sort order is not what I expected.
The Actor sorts in descending order, highest first. If you sort by price, the most expensive players appear at the top. Check you have selected the correct field in the Sort Players By dropdown.
Can I get data for the current gameweek only?
The Players data type returns the season-long totals. For gameweek-specific deadlines and average scores, switch the Data Type to Gameweeks.
FAQ

|---|---|
| Where does the data come from? | It reads the same public API endpoints that power the official Fantasy Premier League website, so the numbers match the game exactly. |
| Can I get data for a specific team only? | Yes. Set the Team filter to any Premier League club and the Actor returns only players or fixtures for that side. |
| How do I sort players by form? | Set the 'Sort Players By' dropdown to 'Form' and the Actor orders the output with the most in-form players first. |
