Every meaningful FPL analysis tool you will ever use — rank trackers, squad comparison tools, AI assistants, rival scanners — asks for the same piece of information first: your team ID. It is not your email, not your team name, and not your FPL username. It is a specific number buried in a URL that most managers have never had a reason to look for. This is a two-minute guide to finding it, on desktop and mobile, plus exactly why it matters and what it unlocks once you have it.
What Is an FPL Team ID?
Your FPL team ID (also called your manager ID or entry ID) is a unique numerical identifier assigned to your team when you first register on fantasy.premierleague.com. It is how the official FPL system, and every third-party tool built on top of it, identifies your specific squad among the 11 million-plus teams in the game. Your team ID never changes season to season on the same account, which makes it a permanent reference point for tracking your history and connecting external tools to your live data.
It is easy to confuse with other identifiers. Your team name ("Zlatan's XI") is just a label anyone can duplicate. Your FPL username is your login credential. Your team ID is the only one that is truly unique and the only one that analysis tools actually need.
How to Find Your FPL Team ID — Desktop
Log in to fantasy.premierleague.com and click on the "Points" tab in your team dashboard (this is usually the default landing page after login). Look at the URL in your browser's address bar. It will look something like fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1234567/event/20. The number immediately after /entry/ — in this example, 1234567 — is your team ID. It is always a string of 6 to 8 digits.
An alternative route: click on "Gameweek History" or "My Team" from your dashboard menu — any page that loads your specific team data will carry the same ID in the URL. It stays constant no matter which page of your own team you are viewing.
How to Find Your FPL Team ID — Mobile App
The official FPL mobile app does not display the ID as visibly as the website does, because there is no address bar. The most reliable method: open the FPL app, go to your team page, then tap the share or menu icon and look for a "View on web" or similar option — this typically opens your team in a mobile browser where the ID becomes visible in the URL exactly as described above.
If that option is not available on your device, the simplest workaround is to log in to fantasy.premierleague.com directly through your phone's browser rather than the app — the ID will appear in the URL the same way it does on desktop.
Why You Actually Need It
Your team ID is what allows any tool outside the official FPL app to pull your live squad, transfer history, chip usage, and rank data without you having to manually re-enter your 15 players every single time. This is the difference between a generic FPL tips article and a genuinely personalised recommendation.
Once you have your ID, you can plug it into tools that compare your squad against the top managers in the game, scan your mini-league rivals' teams to see exactly where you are exposed, or ask an AI assistant specific questions about your actual XI rather than hypothetical examples. Without the ID, every tool is guessing. With it, every tool is looking at your real team.
If you would rather skip typing a URL and hunting through browser tabs entirely, FPL Oracle's ID Finder tool does this lookup for you in a couple of clicks — enter your team name or login details and it surfaces the exact ID instantly, no URL archaeology required.
What to Do Once You Have Your ID
The team ID is the entry point to almost every serious piece of FPL strategy content on this site. Once you have it, you can compare your squad directly against the top 1k or top 10k template using a squad comparison tool — see our breakdown of what the top 1,000 managers' squads actually look like for what that comparison typically reveals. You can also feed it into a rank impact scanner to see which of your current players are quietly costing you rank right now — covered in our guide to the players protecting or wrecking your rank.
If you play in a mini-league and want to see exactly how your rivals' squads differ from yours, the same ID is what powers a rival scanner — the process is explained fully in our guide to winning your mini-league using rival data.
Your team ID is not a technical detail — it is the difference between an FPL tool that talks to everyone and a tool that talks to you specifically. Every serious piece of analysis starts with this one number.
The Oracle Takeaway
Finding your FPL team ID takes under a minute and unlocks every tool worth using for the rest of the season. The fastest desktop route: log in, open any team page, and read the number after /entry/ in the URL. On mobile, use the web browser version if the app does not surface it directly.
Three actions to take right now: find your ID using the method above, save it somewhere you can find quickly (a notes app or bookmark), and use it immediately to run a real comparison against elite squads rather than guessing where you stand.
FPL Oracle's ID Finder tool does this lookup for you automatically, and once Oracle has your ID it can answer specific questions about your actual squad — captaincy, transfers, chip timing — rather than generic advice. Find your ID and start chatting with FPL Oracle about your real team in under two minutes.
