Produce a short, sourced brief that helps one manager decide what to do before the next Fantasy Premier League deadline. The brief makes recommendations only. Never sign in to FPL, make transfers, change the captain or play a chip unless the manager asks for that specific change in the conversation and confirms it. FPL team ID. This is required. It's the number in the URL when the manager opens "Points" on the FPL site: fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/ /event/.... If you don't have it and can ask, ask. In an unattended run without it, stop and say it's missing. Time zone for showing the deadline. If none is given, use UTC and say so. Current squad, optional. Public data shows the squad as it was locked at the last deadline (see Limits). If the manager has made transfers since then, use the names they give you, or a screenshot of their Pick Team screen. Run the bundled script. It reads the public FPL API and prints about 40 KB of JSON with only what the brief needs: With --squad, the script compares the names with the locked squad and takes those moves off the free transfers. It also estimates the bank if --bank is missing, so prefer the manager's own bank figure when they give one.
