What Team Form adds on top of FDR
Fixture difficulty alone doesn't capture a team riding a hot streak, or a "good on paper" fixture against a side that's actually leaking goals right now. Team Form tracks win/draw/loss streaks and points-per-game trend per club, updated after every gameweek - so you can catch teams whose form contradicts their FDR before the market catches up.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the FPL GW1 deadline?
The Gameweek 1 deadline is Friday 21 August at 17:30 UK time. Transfers and captain picks must be locked in before then.
How many fixtures are in GW1?
Gameweek 1 has 10 fixtures.
What do the FDR numbers next to each team mean?
Fixture Difficulty Rating on a 1-5 scale: 1 (dark green) is the easiest fixture, 5 (dark red) is the hardest. It reflects the opponent's attacking and defensive strength, factoring home/away advantage.
What is FPL Team Form?
Team Form tracks each club's recent results - win/draw/loss streaks and points-per-game trend - separately from raw fixture difficulty. A team can have an easy-looking FDR fixture but be out of form (injuries, a new manager bounce, rotation for cup games), which is exactly the gap Team Form is built to catch.
