Schedule Difficulty
The Schedule Difficulty tool helps Fantasy Premier League managers analyze team fixtures based on difficulty rankings. Whether you're planning for a specific range of gameweeks or the entire season, this tool provides a clear view of which teams have the easiest or toughest matchups ahead.
Each club's fixtures are ranked on a 0-10 difficulty scale, representing how challenging a match is expected to be based on predicted results. A rating of 0indicates the easiest matchup, where a team is expected to win comfortably by 5 or more goals, while 10 represents the toughest challenge, predicting a 5+ goal defeat. A 5 signifies a balanced fixture where a draw is the expected outcome.
Detailed Fixture Breakdown
For each fixture, users will see additional context beyond difficulty ranking:
- Gameweek (GW) – The scheduled gameweek for the match.
- Venue – Indicates whether the team is playing Home (vs) or Away (@).
- Opponent – The name of the opponent team.
- Opponent's Pre-Match Position – The opponent's place in table standings before the fixture, with future positions calculated using predicted match outcomes.
- Opponent's Movement in Standings – Along with the opponent's position displayed as an arrow indicator showing whether they have moved up, dropped, or remained in place before the match.
- Forecast – The predicted outcome of the match.
- Difficulty – A progress bar visualizes football match difficulty, filling from green (easy) to red (difficult) for quick identification.
- Current form – A snapshot of the opponent's last five results, helping assess their recent performance and momentum.
