FPL Fixture Ticker: Fixture Difficulty Rating (FDR)

FDR stands for Fixture Difficulty Rating, Fantasy Premier League's 1 to 5 score for how hard each match is, where 1 is easiest and 5 is hardest. The ticker uses FPL's own colours: olive green for 1, bright green for 2, grey for 3, red for 4 and maroon for 5.

Sort the ticker by Easiest: the teams with the lowest average difficulty over the gameweeks you pick rise to the top. The best FPL fixtures guide names the players inside those runs.

Sort by Easiest to bring the best runs to the top, then pick the window: 3 gameweeks for this week's transfer, 6 for the usual plan, 8 or 10 to spot fixture swings early. A club code in capitals is a home game and lower case is away. FDR rates the team, so pick the player inside a good run with the FPL predicted points table.

FPL rates every fixture from 1 to 5 with its own formula, built on Opta data and each team's home and away form over its last six matches. The ticker shows FPL's official ratings, straight from its fixtures data.

Yes. FPL updates the ratings as form changes, so the same fixture can turn easier or harder over the season. The ticker always shows the current ratings.

FDR rates the opponent for a whole team. Expected points (xPts) forecast one player's score, with the fixture built in alongside his minutes, goal threat and clean-sheet chance. Find a good run here, then the player in it in the FPL predicted points table.

This ticker is one: every team's next 3 to 10 fixtures, colour-coded and sortable, free with no sign-up. To turn a good run into transfers for your own squad, the FPL planner plans up to 10 gameweeks ahead.
