The short answer
In 2026/27, FPL points become final when the Gameweek locks at 09:00 UK time on the day after its final match.
Until then, points, ranks, projected bonus, defensive contributions, auto-subs and vice-captain changes can remain provisional.
What updates live?
| Item | During matches | At Gameweek lock |
|---|---|---|
| Player points | Live and provisional | Final |
| Overall and league rank | Updates live | Confirmed |
| Bonus points | Projected from around 20 minutes | Final after review |
| Auto-subs | Predicted | Applied |

Why can points change after full-time?
Opta reviews match data after the final whistle. That review can affect:
- Assists
- Bonus Points System totals
- Defensive contribution counts
- Minutes
- Cards and other match events
The later 09:00 lock gives those reviews more time to be included in the official Gameweek score.
