Fixture Difficulty Rating

Next 7 GWs

The Fixture Difficulty Rating (FDR) is based on a complex algorithm developed by Fantasy Premier League experts. A set of formulas process key Opta data variables, along with each team's home and away form (past six matches), in order to generate a rank for the perceived difficulty of each Gameweek opponent. The FDR is designed to help FPL managers plan their transfer and team selection strategy and is reviewed on a weekly basis.

Difficulty:
1(Very Easy)
2(Easy)
3(Medium)
4(Hard)
5(Very Hard)
