FPL Fixture Difficulty

Clean-sheet planner

Opponent, venue and clean-sheet probability, sorted by average over the window you choose.
The small grey number is FPL’s own 1–5 difficulty rating for that fixture. A purple outline marks a fixture where the model and that rating disagree by two bands or more — hover it for both verdicts.

Where the model and FDR disagree

FPL’s 1–5 difficulty next to the model’s own view of the same fixture on the same scale. Gaps of two or more are listed here and ringed in the grids above — these are the fixtures where planning by FDR alone is most likely to mislead.
