How This Works

Each team's average Fixture Difficulty Rating (FDR) is calculated over their next 5 matches using the official FPL difficulty scale (1 = easiest, 5 = hardest). Teams are sorted from the lowest (easiest run) to the highest (toughest run), helping you identify which clubs to target for transfers and wildcards.

Data sourced from the Official Fantasy Premier League API. Player and fixture information updated regularly from the FPL data feed.
