How difficulty ratings are calculated:Overall uses the official FPL difficulty rating.
Attacking uses opponent xGC per game (how leaky their defence is) — weighted 60% season average + 40% last-5 form, with a home/away multiplier.
Defensive uses opponent xG per game (how dangerous their attack is) — same weighting.
All scores are min-max normalised across all 20 teams then bucketed 1–5. xG from API-Football, updated after every matchday.

Blank GW
i
A blank gameweek means this team has no fixture that week. Players you own from that club score 0 pts — plan around it with transfers or your Free Hit chip.
Double GW
i
A double gameweek means a team plays twice. Owning those players doubles your scoring chances — the best time to play your Bench Boost chip.
H = home · A = away · Home advantage is factored into the xG-based attacking and defensive ratings.
