How to use fixture difficulty
Planning windows
Three Gameweeks highlights immediate punts, five is the practical default, and eight is useful for Wildcard planning. Lower average difficulty is better.
Rotation pairs
Pairs are ranked using the easier fixture available from either club in each Gameweek. Double Gameweeks include both fixtures and blanks show a dash.
What FDR misses
A club-level rating does not capture every injury, tactical matchup or likely rotation.
