Frequently Asked Questions

Last updated: 7 September 2026

Quick answers to the most common questions about GoalIQ. If you can't find what you're looking for, get in touch using the form at the bottom of this page.

What is GoalIQ?

GoalIQ is a free FPL assistant and football prediction tool, in the app stores as GoalIQ: FPL Assistant. Free FPL tools: clean sheet probability and fixture difficulty with separate attack and defence views, a player lookup with official availability news, start chance, set-piece roles, price and ownership, rate my team with a captain pick, a mini-league view with head-to-head win probability, a fit checker and draft rater with saved drafts, price watch, a watchlist for the players you are deciding on (three on the free plan), Beat the model: log your captain and transfer calls before the deadline and see them graded against the model's every gameweek, and the season race against the model's own squad, which is locked before every deadline and scored with official FPL points, and Catch your rival: how likely you are to close the gap to anyone in your mini-league with the gameweeks that are left. GoalIQ Premium adds an interactive team manager with a GW1 to GW6 gameweek planner, per-gameweek expected points (xP) for every player in the projection, with ownership, minutes outlook, the per 90 minute rate and CSV export (web), the captain ranker, chip timing, transfer plan chains, an edge mode for your mini-league, transfer suggestions, player value, a DefCon tracker with a gameweek-by-gameweek breakdown, a 50-player watchlist and who replaces a player, capped at your bank plus his current price when you enter your team ID. It can also predict any match: the app uses a Dixon-Coles statistical model to estimate match outcomes, expected goals (xG), and likely scorelines.

GoalIQ is not a betting platform. It is an analytics tool for football fans who want to understand match probabilities. Predictions are statistical estimates, never guarantees.

Does GoalIQ cover the Champions League?

Two different things carry that name. Match predictions: yes, the Champions League is one of the ten competitions the match model covers, so you can run any Champions League fixture and get win probability, expected goals and the most likely scorelines. UCL Fantasy: we publish prices, ownership and squad availability from UEFA's own public feed for free at goaliq.app/ucl. There is no expected points model for UCL Fantasy, in any phase of the season, and we do not publish one.

Does GoalIQ cover UCL Fantasy?

Yes, as a free data section at goaliq.app/ucl. It lists every player in the official UEFA Champions League Fantasy game with price, ownership percentage, position and squad status, read from UEFA's own public feed, plus the next matchday deadline and who is injured, suspended, doubtful or left out of a registered squad.

It is separate from the FPL tools and separate from the match model. There is no expected points model for UCL Fantasy, in any phase of the season, and we do not publish one. Free, no login.

Which leagues are supported?
  • Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1: supported now, seasons under way. Champions League: supported now, matchday 1 of the league phase is 8 September 2026.
  • Brasileirão Série A: live right now, playing through the European summer.
  • Championship, Eredivisie and Primeira Liga: supported now, seasons under way.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 was covered live during the tournament, and every published prediction is part of our public track record.

How much does Premium cost and what does it include?

Two ways to subscribe, one Premium: monthly through your app store (Apple App Store or Google Play) at the price shown in the app, or on the web at pro.goaliq.app for 3.99 €/month or 25 €/year (season pass, under 2.10 €/month). Premium is free on the web until the GW4 deadline on 12 September, so there is nothing to pay for GW1 to GW3. Cancel anytime. 30-day money back on web purchases. One subscription covers web, iOS and Android.

Premium unlocks:

  • Interactive team manager: formations, bench swaps, captaincy and a rolling six-gameweek planner
  • Per-gameweek expected points (xP) with ownership, minutes outlook, the per 90 minute rate and CSV export
  • Captain ranker with a differential pick and bonus expectation
  • Chip timing: the best Wildcard, Bench Boost, Triple Captain and Free Hit windows
  • Transfer plans that chain 1 to 2 moves over the coming gameweeks, hits priced in
  • Edge mode: rank-aware picks to protect or climb in your mini-league
  • Transfer suggestions with one-tap apply, player value (xP per million) for the top 50 with position and team filters, showing the scoring rate per 90 minutes and expected minutes separately so a high rate on low minutes reads as a bench risk and not a bargain, the full DefCon leaderboard with a gameweek-by-gameweek breakdown
  • Watchlist for up to 50 players; the free plan tracks up to three
  • Replacements that leave out the players you already own, with the replacement price capped at your bank plus his current price, player compare that flags the ones you own and predicted starting minutes
  • In the app: top-10 most likely scorelines, total goals and BTTS probabilities, form & momentum, head-to-head history
Can I get a refund?

Yes. If you bought Premium at our web checkout and it is not what you expected, email [email protected] within 30 days of the payment and we refund it in full. You do not have to explain why.

If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, Apple and Google handle refunds under their own policy, so that request goes to them rather than to us.

How do I cancel my Premium subscription?

If you subscribed in the app, GoalIQ Premium is billed through your app store, so you cancel in your device's subscription settings:

  • iOS: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → GoalIQ → Cancel.
  • Android: Google Play → Subscriptions → GoalIQ → Cancel.

The app's Manage subscription button in the Profile tab opens those same store settings. Your Premium access remains active until the end of the current billing period. You will not be charged again, and you can re-subscribe at any time.

GoalIQ Premium (web): if you subscribed at pro.goaliq.app, sign in there, open the Account menu and choose Manage subscription. That opens our Stripe billing page, where you can cancel. You can also email [email protected] and we cancel it for you. Your access stays active until the end of the paid period.

What is GoalIQ Premium on the web?

GoalIQ Premium is a web dashboard at pro.goaliq.app built for Fantasy Premier League. Free: clean sheet probability and model-based fixture difficulty for every PL team with separate attack and defence views, a player lookup with official availability news, start chance and set-piece roles, rate my team with a captain pick, a mini-league view with head-to-head win probability, a fit checker, a pre-season draft rater and price watch. Premium adds an interactive team manager with a rolling six-gameweek planner, per-gameweek expected points (xP) for every player in the projection, over the coming gameweeks, a captain ranker and per-gameweek breakdowns, chip timing, transfer plan chains and an edge mode for your mini-league, all from the same GoalIQ match model with a published track record.

Pricing: 3.99 €/month or 25 €/year (season pass). Premium is free on the web until the GW4 deadline on 12 September, so there is nothing to pay for GW1 to GW3. Sign in with your GoalIQ account, the same one you use in the app.

Does one subscription work on both the web and the app?

Yes. One account, premium on web, iOS and Android. If you subscribe to GoalIQ Premium on the web, premium unlocks in the mobile app when you sign in with the same account. If you already have Premium through the app store, sign in at pro.goaliq.app and Premium is active there too, no second purchase.

How accurate are the predictions?

Predictions are probabilistic, not deterministic. A 60 % home-win probability means that, across many similar matches, the home team would win roughly 60 % of the time. It does not mean this specific match will be a home win.

The underlying model is fitted on historical match results and validated against past seasons. We tune it continuously as more data arrives.

Is there an iOS version?

Yes. GoalIQ is available on both the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android), in both stores as GoalIQ: FPL Assistant. Coverage and features are kept in sync across both platforms, and one Premium subscription covers web, iOS and Android.

What data do you collect?

We collect the minimum needed to run the app: account email, subscription status, and anonymised usage analytics (PostHog). We do not sell data or share it with advertisers.

For the full breakdown, see our Privacy Policy.

How do I delete my account?

See the Delete Account page for the full process. In short: email us from your account email address and we will delete your data within 30 days.

The app shows a different price than what I was charged. Why?

All charges go through your app store (App Store or Google Play) or, for web subscriptions, through Stripe, at the price displayed at the time of purchase. If you see a discrepancy, contact us with the transaction details and we will investigate within 7 days.

What is the Beat the Model mini-league?

The GoalIQ model plays FPL in the 2026/27 season with its own public team, and anyone can try to outscore it. Join the Beat the Model mini-league with code jgi6j9 or via this auto-join link. The season winner gets a year of GoalIQ Premium, free.

Can I use GoalIQ for betting?

GoalIQ is an analytics tool, not a betting platform. We do not place bets, accept wagers, or partner with bookmakers. What you choose to do with the statistical estimates is up to you, but we recommend treating them as one data point among many, not as guaranteed outcomes.
