Deadline FC is a companion tool for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, made by Pocket Forge Studios in the United Kingdom. It shows statistics, projections, transfer and captaincy suggestions, and an optional AI assistant ("Ask the Gaffer"), built on data from the publicly available FPL API.
Deadline FC is unofficial. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Premier League, Fantasy Premier League, or any football club. Player names, team names and fixtures come from the public FPL API and belong to their respective owners.
Projections and suggestions are estimates generated from public statistics. Football is gloriously unpredictable: nothing in this app is a guarantee of points, rank, or outcome, and you use any suggestion at your own judgement. Deadline FC provides no gambling services and its content is not betting advice.
You need an account (Google sign-in or email/password) to use the app. Keep your login to yourself; you're responsible for activity on your account. You can ask us to delete your account and its data at any time by emailing the address above. We may suspend accounts that abuse the service (see fair use below).
The AI assistant has monthly usage allowances per account to keep the service affordable. Automated scraping, reselling access, or attempting to misuse the assistant for non-football purposes may result in suspension without refund of any unused allowance (a refund of the pass itself will be considered under clause 4).
Deadline FC depends on third-party services (the FPL API, hosting providers, the AI provider). We aim to keep it running smoothly but can't promise uninterrupted availability, and features may change as the app evolves.
To the extent permitted by law, Deadline FC is provided "as is" and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the previous 12 months. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
We may update these terms; material changes will be flagged in the app. These terms are governed by the laws of the United Kingdom, and disputes belong to the courts of the part of the UK where you live.
We use Vercel Web Analytics to see aggregate page-view counts. It's cookieless, doesn't use a persistent identifier, and can't track you across other sites — it just tells us roughly how many people visited which pages. No advertising and no ad trackers of any kind.
For signed-in accounts, we also count squad saves and Pro views once per account per day, plus checkout sessions and confirmed purchases. A hashed daily reference prevents duplicate activity counts; these analytics do not contain your squad, chat text or email address. Private payment and usage records are kept separately to deliver purchases and enforce chat allowances.
We use browser local storage and Firebase's sign-in cookies to keep you logged in and remember your settings. No third-party marketing cookies.
Under UK GDPR you can ask for a copy of your data or ask us to delete it — email PocketForgeStudios@proton.me from your account email and we'll sort it within a month (usually much faster). Deleting your account removes your profile data; payment records are kept as long as tax law requires.
Deadline FC isn't directed at children under 13, and Pro purchases require the ability to enter a contract — if you're under 18, get a parent or guardian's permission before buying.
Questions about any of this? Email PocketForgeStudios@proton.me — a human (and his AI gaffer) will reply.
