Frequently Asked Questions

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 pre-season 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, player expected points (xP) 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 differentials. It can also predict any match: the app uses machine learning models (Dixon-Coles + LightGBM ensemble) 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.

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.

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.

If you subscribed at our web checkout instead, email [email protected] and we cancel it for you. You can also tap Manage subscription in the app's Profile tab, which opens the same 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, email [email protected] and we cancel it immediately. Access stays active until the end of the paid period.

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 models are trained on historical match data (results, xG, recent form) and validated against past seasons. We tune the model continuously as more data arrives.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
