Fixture Planner
How easy is it to score against each opponent? Green marks a weak defence, so target it.
Gameweek 10 deadline
UK time
Gameweek 10 closes Friday 6 November, 18:30 UK time. First kickoff Fri 20:00.
FPL closes transfers 90 minutes before the first kickoff of the gameweek.
What these ratings are built from
Difficulty here is expected goals conceded, not FPL's own fixed numbers. It is measured over completed matches, so before 2026/27 kicks off it is a read on how each defence played in 2025-26. Home fixtures get a 0.4 reduction for home advantage.

Goals and assists come from the match data, so a goal nobody is credited with, an own goal in almost every case, is counted separately rather than handed to a player. Clips are found by matching an upload title against both clubs, the exact final score and the right way round, so a fixture shows nothing rather than something that might be the wrong match. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play.
How to use the planner
Our difficulty ratings use expected goals data (xG) instead of FPL's static FDR. Ratings track how a defence has actually played, so a side conceding chances shows up as an easier fixture.
- Green (Easy) - Opponent has high xGA (weak defense). Great for attacking players and captain picks.
- Gray (Medium) - League average defense. Performance depends more on form than fixture.
- Orange (Hard) - Opponent has low xGA (solid defense). Consider benching attackers.
- Red (Very Hard) - Elite defense. Only fixture-proof players likely to return.
- Home (H) vs Away (A) - Home fixtures get a 0.4 difficulty reduction (home advantage).
- Past Results - Completed GWs show actual goals scored, so you can validate if our difficulty ratings match reality.
