FPL fixture planner — target the swing before everyone else

• Attack vs defence is the whole game. A team can have three easy games for its forwards and three tough ones for its defence in the same run. Rate for attackers when you're buying a midfielder or striker; rate for defenders when you're buying a defender or keeper.
• Buy the run, not last week. The best transfers are two or three gameweeks early — into a team whose fixtures are about to turn green, before the price rises and the crowd piles in.
• Rotate cheap slots. Two budget players whose runs are opposite — one green while the other's red — let you always start the kinder fixture and never take a hit to cover a blank.
• Double and blank gameweeks matter. A team playing twice in a gameweek is two chances at points; a blank is none. Those are flagged on the board.

Found your targets? Drop them into the team builder to check they fit your budget and club limits, or import your real team to see the exact transfer the model would make this week.

Each fixture gets an attack rating and a defence rating from the model's expected goals for and against that specific matchup — home advantage included — not the one-size-fits-all official difficulty. Green (1–2) is easy, orange (3) is medium, red (4–5) is hard. The player targets are ranked by each player's fixture-adjusted projected points over the window, so the run is already in the number; the colour ticker just shows you why.
