In Draft Premier League, timing is everything, and nothing shapes early-season momentum quite like the fixture list. We've run the numbers through our Fixture Difficulty Tracker for the opening five gameweeks of 26/27, split by position, and there are some clear winners and losers already.
Savvy drafters know the first five or six gameweeks can make or break a season. Load up on players with kind early matchups and you can build an early lead, ride the form wave, and flip assets before the market catches up. Whether you're aiming to dominate from day one or just avoid a slow start, drafting with early fixtures in mind isn't optional. It's essential.
Check out our 26/27 Draft Kit for all the pre-season information you'll need, and take a look at our Pricing Plans to unlock the Fixture Difficulty Tracker itself.

Fixture Difficulty Tracker
This remains one of the sharpest tools on the site for gaining an edge. The tracker gives you positional fixture ratings across customisable periods, with two toggles: one for position, one for number of fixtures. Looking for a forward with a soft run over the first three games? Set the toggles, and there's your shortlist. Simple to use, genuinely useful.
The tracker is for subscribers. If you want in, grab an Ultimate Pass here.
