Question 1

How is FPL fixture difficulty calculated?

Accepted Answer

Each fixture gets a 1-5 difficulty rating based on the opponent’s team Elo, home/away, and recent form. Colour-coded so easy runs (green) and tough stretches (red) are obvious at a glance.

Question 2

What is a fixture swing in FPL?

Accepted Answer

A team’s fixture difficulty changing sharply over the next few gameweeks. Spotting upcoming easy runs early is one of the highest-EV transfer signals in FPL.

Question 3

When are FPL fixtures updated?

Accepted Answer

Within one hour of any change from the official Premier League schedule. Postponements, double gameweeks, and blank gameweeks are reflected automatically.
