Christmas is a wonderful time of year for many reasons; special and precious time spent with the family, the giving and receiving of well thought-out gifts and of course and most importantly, lots and lots of football.

Here at FPL Connect, we know how seriously you guys take FPL and we also know how crucial the next 10 gameweeks could prove to be for not just our seasons, but for the teams that we all support too.

Our teams will undoubtedly be making plans to navigate this period successfully, so that means we should too.

That’s why we thought it prudent to revise and update the fixture difficulty rating (FDR) schedule we made pre-season, to help you plan and tackle the chaotic festive period that we’re about to hit head on.

It’s unlikely to be a smooth ride, with plenty of rotation turbulence guaranteed along the way, but we like to think that little tools like this can help you plan ahead and get a nice structured view of what the overall picture looks like, rather than having to individually click on each team to view their fixtures, as you have to do on the Official FPL website.

The Link

So, we have a screenshot image above as the featured image (as well as on Twitter) and the actually link for those who want to tinker around with the Excel spreadsheet below – use it wisely and best of luck to you all.

Strap yourselves in, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
