Greasemonkey script to display team data on FPL league page

Post by nickchild »

Been working on this script today after being woken up early and not getting back to sleep...

From the league page in FPL it adds the following data to the table for each team:

- Live gameweek score
- Live total score (including any transfer hits for the gameweek)
- Gameweek captain (and vice-captain on rollover)
- Team value
- Bank funds
- Total value (team + bank)
- Total transfers
- Gameweek transfers
- Gameweek transfers points hit
- Wildcard availability
- Associated H2H league position (see below)
- Starting XI and bench (see below)
- Playing stats (rollover to show who has played, yet to play, didn't play, plus number of games remaining in the case of a double gameweek)

NEW FOR 2015/16
- Chips - shows which chips have been played with an alert if one is active for the current gameweek)
- Quick picks - quickly select a default data set (see below)

Each of these values can easily be turned on or off using a panel below the league. There are also shortcuts to turn all options on/off as well as two quick picks; one for 'Live Data' which is best used as soon as a gameweek goes live (shows captain, live points, playing stats and chip info) and the other for 'Team Info' which is best used once all games are complete and the build up to the next gameweek has started (transfer stats, wilcard and chip info and team/bank value).

You can sort the table by clicking any of the column headers.

You can see the starting XI and bench for each team by clicking on the corresponding position movement indicator (far left arrow icon). Click on the column header to show all teams squads. You can hover over each player here to see their current gameweek score.

The 'Associated H2H league position' is calculated by looking for a H2H league name that starts the same as the current league. For example, FISO X League 2014/15 has a H2H named the same, I am also in another league with an associated H2H - '£10 league option' which maps to '£10 league option:H2H'.

If you think you might find this useful, you will need the Firefox add-on 'Greasemonkey'. Once this is enabled you can install my script by clicking the following link: https://openuserjs.org/install/nickchil ... fo.user.js


Version 1.1 update: Added an option to view the starting XI and bench

Version 1.2 update: Added option to display 'Live Total' based on the live gameweek score.

Version 1.3 update: Fixed a bug with player or team names with special character returning no data.

Version 1.4 update: Added option to make table and containers extra wide so everything fits cleanly.

Version 1.5 update: Added option to show how many players are left to play in the gameweek (and those who have already played). Added 'Reload' button to config panel.

Version 1.6 update: Combined played/to play into one option and added 'didn't play' to the table (enabled under same option).

Version 1.7 update: Added option to show the points hits acquired from transfers for the gameweek.

Version 1.8 update: Added sort capability to the table.


I've also now made a start on another script to show extra info in the 'Data View' on the 'My Team' page. Will also work when viewing other players teams. At the moment it adds PPG, PP90 and average H/A scores. If it grows much bigger I will add a similar config but for now it's just all or nothing and can be enabled/disabled via the Greasemonkey menu. Install it here: https://openuserjs.org/install/nickchil ... fo.user.js

The script may work in other browsers using the equivalent extension (Safari - GreaseKit, IE - Trixie, Chrome - native) but these are all untested.

Edit: Has now been confirmed to work with Tampermonkey in Chrome (thanks Dram!).

Please let me know if you come across any bugs or suggestions for extra features.

Enjoy!

Bug 1 fixed!

The Associated H2H league position was actually displaying the position of the team in their first H2H league in the list.

Fixed now to use correct league

Only 3 installs so far, but you may want to reinstall if you're using this feature and are one of those early ones

This is awesome thanks Nick!

Especially like the live score, great at this time of a gameweek waiting for FPL databases to update.

No probs deafleopard, glad you like it!

I have just added an option to view the starting XI and bench for each team by clicking on the corresponding position movement indicator.

You will need to reinstall using the link in the OP to update an old version.

Love it!
Any chance of adding a live updated total?
I know it's easy to just add the total and live score in your head but a column would make it easier (especially after a few glasses of red on a Saturday night!)

Hi Nick, This is amazing! So helpful!

I am quite computer illiterate so I don't know if the following is a bug or just stupidity on my part but all the additional details for my team are not coming up in league tables.

Regardless this is such a helpful add-on and saves so much time

EDIT: Upon further investigation, the additional details don't show up for anyone with an apostrophe in their name.

OK, that's done, however it's not accurate at this precise moment as FPL are updating their data;

The 'live total' is taken from values from the existing table like so: TOT + (Live - GW)

So it is taking the reported total score from FPL, then adding the difference between the Live score and the reported GW score.

This way it will work during matchdays 2 and 3 by taking the total and GW scores at the start of the day into account.

However, once FPL start to update their data, the GW score is updated before the TOT, so the 'live total' will simply reflect TOT during this time. FPL's warning message will let you know if this is the situation: League tables are currently being re-calculated. The table below may still contain old data.

Thanks for letting me know. The reason it was doing this is that the players name contains HTML characters on the team page where it doesn't on the league page (so the apostrophe was showing as ' on the league page but ' on the team page).

As I was using the players name as the identifier it wasn't finding a match when the data was being returned.

I knew I had to change this anyway just in case there are 2 people with the same name in 1 league, so it is using player and team name now. You just forced me to do it sooner!

This is now fixed so reinstall for the update

Yep that was the main factor behind writing the script in the first place. Checking everyone's team value and how many transfers they've made, then everyone's captain, then everyone's score once it all gets going.... then you forget it all and have to start again. It's all there now!

I've just added another option to allow you to increase the width of the table and the containing boxes. It was annoying me when lots of options were enabled and the table was overlapping the league table.

It also means less chance of players/team/captains names wrapping and making the table look ugly with double height rows...!

This is fantastic, thanks!

Just thought I'd share that it works perfectly on Chrome with the "Tampermonkey" extension.

Thanks Dram, I'll update the OP.


I have fixed a bug with the H2H rollover. It had the name of my H2H league that I had originally hardcoded before changing it to check for an associated H2H based on league names. I haven't updated the live script yet, but the fix will be there in the next version

Very handy! In flash I can see that in my position of 5th in the fiso league the people head of me are all captaining Costa and me putting the arm banned on Ageuro is a real differential! This could go horribly wrong! :lol:

You need grease monkey, not sure if its compatible with chrome or not. The script manipulates they way the FPL page is displayed.

Re: Greasemonkey script to display team data on FPL league p

Glad this is being so well received. Think I might try to add a column showing how many players each team has left to play so you don't need to trawl through each starting XI. I say 'trawl' - it's hardly that any more! But a quick glance I think would be useful...

For those struggling to install:

You need to install a separate add-on for your browser first. I have built this using Greasemonkey in Firefox so I would suggest you go that route. In theory it should work in Safari and Chrome but I haven't tested these myself (Dram has said it worked for him using Tampermonkey in Chrome).

Here is the step-by-step guide to use this in Firefox:

1. Download Firefox if you haven't already - http://www.getfirefox.com

2. Launch Firefox

3. Install Greasemonkey
3a. Visit https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... asemonkey/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
3b. Click 'Add to Firefox' button
3c. This may or may not require you to restart the browser but do so anyway just in case
3d. You should now see a little monkey face icon in your toolbar. Click the arrow next to it for the Greasemonkey menu and make sure it is enabled (you can also enable/disable by clicking the face).

4. Install my custom user script
4a. Click the following link - https://openuserjs.org/install/nickchil ... fo.user.js
4b. If you have successfully installed Greasemonkey you will now get a dialog window popup asking you to confirm install of 'FPL get team info'
4c. If the file attempts to download instead of installing via Greasemonkey, then you didn't do parts 1-3 correctly.

5. Visit any league on the FPL site to see the extra stats


Feel free to try and replace Firefox and Greasemonkey for the following browsers and let me know if you have any luck:

Chrome - Tampermonkey (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... fkfo?hl=en" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
Safari - Greasekit (http://8-p.info/greasekit/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) - sounds like you may need to install SIMBL too (link on same page)

I won't suggest IE as there is bound to be bits that are broken but by all means if you are, for some reason, bound to IE there may be an equivalent add-on you can try.

I couldn't get GreaseMonkey download for Chrome to work...I got "send yourself an email reminder"...clicked through back to the same page..

Installed Firefox OK...Clicked GreaseMonkey add on..."GreaseMonkey is incompatible with Firefox 32.0.1".

I can see Nick's script in Firefox...looks good. I will try to get it working on laptop tomorrow. :?

For me (using Chrome) I've just installed the tampermonkey extension then downloaded the script from nickchild's link above, it was recognised automatically by tampermonkey and installed. Two clicks and everything is working fine.

Have added option to display the number of players left to play in the gameweek.

The number is based on players who's team haven't played, or players who have played 0 minutes of their teams game. So the number will go down as soon as a player starts playing their fixture in a gameweek.

You can roll over the numbers to see exactly who is left to play.

I can see I will have to tweak this once we get to a double gameweek but will be fine for now.

You can also show the players who HAVE played for the team so far.

Also added a 'Reload' button in the config panel.
