Shield Players
FiveM Fake Players Service
Fill your FiveM server with realistic fake players, control everything from a private dashboard, and start with a free 25 FP trial for 30 minutes.
What are FiveM fake players?
FiveM fake players — sometimes called bot players or fake FP — are simulated connections that show up in your server's player count and player list. To anyone browsing the server browser, the server looks populated and active. Shield Players is a fake players service built specifically for FiveM server owners who want that population without running heavy scripts or exposing anything publicly.
Why empty FiveM servers struggle
Player count is the first thing people see. A server showing 0/64 rarely gets a click, and the few who do join usually leave within seconds because nobody else is around. It's a hard loop to break: you need players to attract players.
A healthy-looking population changes that first impression. When your server shows real activity, organic players are far more likely to join, explore, and stick around long enough for your community to grow on its own.
How Shield Players works
Shield Players is a private FiveM server population service. Each server you add is isolated and tied to its own license — nothing is shared or public. Once connected, your fake players appear in the player list just like real connections, and you decide exactly how many are shown at any moment.
- Private, per-server setup — no shared pools.
- Fake players appear in your live player count and list.
- Full control from the dashboard, in real time.
Dashboard features
Everything is managed from a clean control panel — no config files to babysit.

Custom names

Smart scheduling
Real servers aren't equally busy at 4am and 9pm — so your fake players shouldn't be either. With smart scheduling you draw a population curve across the week and pick the mode that fits:
- Static — holds each scheduled value until the next point, like clean steps.
- Gradual — ramps the count up and down smoothly between points for a natural rhythm.
Everything runs on your configured timezone, and hovering the chart shows exactly how many players will be active at any time.
Custom names
Generic bot names give the game away. Shield Players lets you set custom display names for your fake players so they read like genuine members of your community — a small detail that makes a populated server feel real.
Pricing
Plans start at 15 fake players and scale to hundreds, billed weekly or monthly with volume-based tiers — the more players, the lower the price per player. Pick the amount that matches your server and change it whenever you need.
