Questions

Which team has the easiest FPL fixtures right now?

+

Coventry City, over the next 5 gameweeks: FUL (H), SUN (H), EVE (A), CRY (H), LEE (A). Next easiest: Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town, Leeds. The toughest run belongs to Newcastle.

What is FPL fixture difficulty (FDR)?

+

Fixture Difficulty Rating is FPL's own score for how hard each match is, from 1 (easiest) to 5 (hardest), rated separately for the home and away side. This ticker uses FPL's official ratings.

How do I use a fixture ticker in FPL?

+

Look for clubs with a run of green fixtures to target for transfers, and plan away from clubs with a run of red. Sort by the next 3 gameweeks for this week's decisions and by the next 5 or 6 for planning ahead.

How are double and blank gameweeks shown?

+

A double gameweek shows both fixtures stacked and counts as an easier week, because players get two matches. A blank gameweek shows a dash and counts as the hardest possible week, because players can't score.
