Benefits

• You don't have to browse through the fantasy premier league website to find the latest points for each manager, with just one command you will get the immediate update.
• whohas makes it easy for the user to just simply use one command /whohas <playerName> instead of going through on each and every manager page one by one which is very time consuming and frustrating. In a smaller league with 10 Manager that will probably take about 7 minutes but with this feature, output will be in seconds.
• /captains again is an amazing feature that gives you list of all the captains with one command
