<h2>How do players become unavailable in Fantasy Premier League 2022/23?</h2>
<p>Players become unavailable due to injuries, suspensions, or leaving the league.</p>
<p>Their unavailability is indicated by either a red, amber or yellow flag &#8211; clicking on it will tell you why that player is unavailable.</p>
<p>Generally speaking, Fantasy Premier League will <strong>o</strong>nly flag a player when the player, manager or someone else closely associated with the club confirms a reason for doubt.</p>
<p>If a player is allegedly missing from training or holding a bottle of Night Nurse on their latest Instagram post, it might be a sign he&#8217;s likely to miss the next game, but unless this has been confirmed by a reliable source, the Fantasy Premier League won&#8217;t acknowledge it.</p>
<p>Rumours &#8211; however strong they might be &#8211; aren&#8217;t considered a dependable source of information by FPL HQ.</p>
<h2>How can I tell if an FPL player is unavailable?</h2>
<p>A red flag means a player is almost certainly ruled out.</p>
<p>Usually they&#8217;re carrying a serious injury, are suspended or their manager has confirmed  they won&#8217;t start in the next game.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s almost unheard of to see a red-flagged player start the next game.</p>
<p>Amber flags represent serious uncertainty. In other words, a player&#8217;s status is ambiguous, but the player remains unlikely to start.</p>
<p>We often see amber flags when a player is recovering from a more serious injury, or when the severity of a recently acquired injury is still unknown.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s very unusual to see an orange-flagged player start the next game.</p>
<p>Yellow flags are the least-severe warning. They tell us that whilst a player&#8217;s status is still ambiguous, he has a feasible chance of starting the next game.</p>
<p>Yellow flags often appear when a manager confirms that the player is carrying a minor injury or illness.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not unusual to see a yellow-flagged player start the next game, and often they&#8217;ll appear on the bench too.</p>

<h2>How reliable are the appearance likelihoods given by FPL?</h2>
<p>Fantasy Premier League also offer a likelihood of a player appearing in their next game.</p>
<p>For yellow flags, it will show a 75% chance of appearing in the next gameweek.</p>
<p>For orange flags you&#8217;ll see either 25% or 50%.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no percentage for red flags, but there&#8217;s an implied 0% chance.</p>
<p>These percentages are very vague, and should be taken with a pinch of salt. For a more reliable update on a player&#8217;s injury status, check out Ben Dinnery&#8217;s weekly injury updates here on Fantasy Football Hub.</p>
