Forward-looking Fantasy Premier League tips

We are automating some very simple calculations, trying to work out which players are likely to do well in the Fantasy Premier League over the next 3 Gameweeks.

Using data from the game, we're looking for the most in-form players with the 'easiest' run of fixtures coming up ‐ similar to what many FPL managers will think about.

Combining home and away team fixture difficulty with player form, a rating is generated for every player, each Gameweek.

Adding these up provides us with an overall, albeit basic, near-term view.

The Fantasy Premier League returns on Friday 21 August 2026.

As it is the beginning of a new season, there is no form data for any players.

Confidence in each team can still be calculated and players will begin to amass form after the end of Gameweek 1.
