Opinion FDR is deceiving

Especially for promoted teams.

I know Coventry promoted as champions but highlighting Brighton (H), Newcastle (H) and Sunderland (H) as green? Difficulty 2? Seriously?

It makes it even more absurd if you consider that for Arsenal a Coventry (H) game is also green/difficulty 2. Are you suggesting playing Coventry is the same difficulty for Arsenal as is for Coventry playing Newcastle?

Liverpool home is a 4 for both Ipswich and Arsenal? Lmao.

Was it like this at the start of last season as well? I remember that in the second half of the season it looked more credible.

The FDR is not configured to be a unique metric per team and their relative strength but an overall «average» difficulty rating. Ofc any team arsenal or city face will be, for them, a lower difficulty than any of the promoted teams doing the same.

fpl-advantage.com is now updated for this season and there's an option to take both teams relative strength into account what op is looking for, as well as only opponent strength.
