Which Teams Have the Best FPL Fixtures Right Now?
- Easiest runs, GW8 to GW13: Coventry (2.50), Spurs (2.67), Ipswich (2.67), Chelsea (2.83) and Nott'm Forest (3.00). The number is the average FPL difficulty, where 1 is easiest and 5 is hardest.
- Coventry start home to Fulham in GW8 (difficulty 2), home to Sunderland in GW9 (difficulty 3) and away to Everton in GW10 (difficulty 3).
- Toughest runs: Newcastle (3.50), Liverpool (3.33) and Man Utd (3.33). A new signing from these clubs needs a projection strong enough to beat the fixtures.
How to Read the Fixture Ticker
- Sort by easiest to bring the best runs to the top. Three or more green fixtures in a row is a transfer-target signal.
- Switch the horizon: 3 gameweeks for this week's call, 6 for the standard planning window, 8 to 10 to spot fixture swings early.
- Then pick the player, not just the team. FDR rates the club, so check each player's xPts (expected points) before you buy.
Fixtures Are Step One, Not the Answer
- Haaland is the best captain in the game whatever the colour of his fixture, because his ceiling beats the rating.
- Fixtures are a quick scan for value. Projected points are the decision, and the solver turns both into transfers for your squad.
- This week's picks on the same data are in the GW8 tips.

FAQ
What is a fixture swing in FPL?
The point where a club's run turns from hard to easy, or the other way round. Spot one three to six gameweeks out on the fixture difficulty ticker and you can move for its players before your rivals do.
Where can I see the FPL fixtures for every team?
The fixture difficulty ticker shows all 20 clubs' upcoming fixtures, colour-coded by FPL difficulty. Sort it by the easiest run over the next 3, 6, 8 or 10 gameweeks.
When is the next double gameweek in FPL?
A double gameweek comes when the Premier League moves a postponed match into a gameweek where both clubs already have a fixture, mostly in the second half of the season. The FPL double gameweeks guide lists every one confirmed so far.
Which teams have the hardest FPL fixtures?
Newcastle (3.50), Liverpool (3.33) and Man Utd (3.33) face the toughest runs over the next six gameweeks, GW8 to GW13, by average FPL difficulty. Buy from those clubs only when a player's FPL predicted points are strong enough to beat the fixtures.
Do FPL expected points include fixture difficulty?
Yes. Every projection is scaled by the opponent's strength and home or away, so a player's FPL predicted points already price in his fixtures. FDR rates the club and expected points rate the player, which is why the projections make the final call.
