This script picks the optimum team for the Daily Telegraph's Fantasy Football game, combining TFF's player stats with online injury lists. Useful so that people like me, who know nothing about football, have a chance! Note that it is only as good as the data it has access to, so it’s probably a bad idea to change your team according to its suggestions within the first few weeks of the season – wait until it has more data before trusting it.
It's hosted here, and runs automatically every 24 hours. You can see the team it's currently picking here:

Issues with this application are tracked on my Mantis server, which is open to anyone to sign up, report bugs and request features. Please report any issues you find! (The old, offline version of the TFF team picker maintained its own change log, which can be found here.)
