FPL Vault Difficulty Score
1.0 – 5.0 scale
How we calculate it
- •Team Strength (30%) — FPL's own Elo-style ratings for attack & defence, home & away
- •League Position (30%) — Current table standing — 1st = hardest, 20th = easiest
- •Recent Form (25%) — FPL's rolling form average. Above 3.0 = good form, below 2.0 = poor form
- •Home/Away (15%) — Away fixtures are harder (+0.5), home fixtures slightly easier (−0.3)
Reputation floor: No team scores below 3.0 on strength alone — elite teams like Man City and Arsenal always represent a genuine challenge regardless of form.
