FPL Fixture Difficulty Ratings
Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR) for players and teams in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game. The fixture difficulty ratings calculated by FPL themselves do not differentiate between attack and defence. But a team may both score a lot of goals and concede a lot of goals, or conversely may be poor in attack and great in defence.
My fixture difficulty ratings are separated by attacking difficulty and defensive difficulty, so they are more specific than the fixture difficulty ratings calculated by FPL, and therefore more useful in identifying opponents to target when choosing players for your FPL team. The figures are updated hourly.
Teams' Current Attacking & Defensive Strength
- Scoriness: How many goals this team is currently expected to score against an average EPL team, based on an optimised combination of actual goals scored and expected goals (xG). Higher numbers indicate opposition teams to avoid because of their attacking strength.
- Porosity: How many goals this team is currently expected to concede against an average EPL team, based on an optimised combination of actual goals against and expected goals against (xGA). Higher numbers indicate opposition teams to target because of their defensive weakness.

I use scoriness and porosity together to calculate predicted EPL team goals per FPL gameweek.
