What is FDR?

The Fixture Difficulty Rating (FDR) scores each Premier League fixture from 1 (easiest) to 5 (hardest) based on the strength of the opponent. FPL managers use FDR to plan transfers and captaincy picks — targeting players from teams with an easy run of fixtures, and avoiding those facing a tough stretch. This tool ranks every team by their average FDR over your chosen gameweek range, so you can quickly spot the best and worst runs coming up.
