How This Works

Each defender is scored using form (2.0x), points per game (1.9x), and an inverted 4-game average FDR (2.4x). The fixture difficulty rating runs from 1 (easiest) to 5 (hardest), so lower average FDR means a more favourable run. This approach finds defenders who are both in-form and facing weak opposition, giving you the best chance of returns over the next four gameweeks.
