How This Works
Each defender is scored using a weighted composite formula: form (2.05x), points per game (1.95x), fixture difficulty over 6 gameweeks (2.2x), value efficiency (0.08x), and start probability (0.04x). Lower average FDR means easier upcoming fixtures. The score helps identify defenders who combine strong recent output with a favourable fixture run, making them ideal wildcard targets.
