GW6 to GW11
FPL fixture difficulty, GW6 to GW11
Each fixture is rated 1 to 5 on the opponent alone, so a team's own strength never colours its fixtures. A 1 is more than 20% easier than an average opponent, a 3 is within 5% of average and a 5 is more than 20% harder. The rating is the same home or away; home games are worth about 18% more goals. xG and xCS are each team's own projected goals and clean sheets over these weeks, with their strength and home advantage included.
For attackers: how leaky is the opponent?
Easiest first. Use this for midfielders and forwards.
