Sorted from easiest to hardest run. Difficulty ratings 1 (easiest) to 5 (hardest). "—" = blank gameweek; two opponents = double gameweek.
How our difficulty ratings work
- Scale of 1 to 5. Each fixture uses the official Fantasy Premier League difficulty rating, where 1 is the easiest and 5 the hardest. Dark green means a very favorable matchup, dark red a very tough one.
- Home and away matter. The same opponent can be rated differently depending on where the match is played, and each cell shows H or A.
- Sorted by average. Clubs at the top have the easiest average run over the next six gameweeks.
- Blank and double gameweeks. A dash means the club has no match that gameweek; two opponents in one cell mean a double gameweek.
How to use fixture difficulty in Sleeper and Fantrax
Fixtures matter less than role and minutes. A starter who plays 90 minutes and produces tackles, interceptions or chances every week should stay in your lineup through a tough run; fixture difficulty is a tie-breaker, not a reason to bench your best players.
Where fixtures earn their value is in streaming and waivers. When two options are close, pick the player facing the easier run, and look for goalkeepers and defenders whose clubs have two or three green fixtures in a row.
Plan trades three to four gameweeks ahead. The best time to buy a player is just before a run of easy fixtures starts, when his current owner is still looking at recent tough matches. Check player availability on our Premier League injury list before you commit.
Bottom line
Use this EPL fixture difficulty tracker to break ties, time your trades and pick your streams, not to overrule minutes and role. The table refreshes automatically, and our methodology for all InfoSport data is explained on the methodology page.
