How to read it

Using fixture difficulty to plan transfers

The clubs at the top of this ticker have the easiest set of fixtures over the next 8 gameweeks. Their attackers and defenders are usually the best value transfers, because fixture difficulty affects both clean sheet odds and goal expectation.

Average FDR is the mean difficulty across the window. A blank gameweek counts as the worst possible score, since a player who does not play scores nothing. A double gameweek counts for slightly better than its face difficulty, because two fixtures mean two chances to return.

Fixture difficulty is a starting point, not a full answer. Pair it with predicted points so you are buying the right player at the right club, and check the wildcard planner for the clubs whose fixtures are about to turn.
