Fixture difficulty ratings (FDR) for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) defenders. For past matches (left of the thick line), the numbers are the actual average FPL points scored by defenders from the team shown in the 'Team' column at the start/end of the row. For future fixtures (right of the thick line), the numbers represent the FPL points an AVERAGE team's defender is expected to score against the opponent shown in the cell. Favour defenders from teams with future green fixtures and avoid defenders from teams with future pink fixtures! My Help page explains how the figures are calculated. Also see fixture difficulty for goalkeepers, midfielders, and forwards.
