Fixture Swing Planner
Fixture swings are one of the most reliable edges in fantasy football. When a team's next 4–6 opponents shift from hard to easy (or the other way), the value of their attackers and defenders moves with it.
Spotting A Fixture Swing
- Compare the next 4–6 fixtures' difficulty to the previous run.
- Look for clusters of green (easy) matches in a single window.
- Check home/away balance — three home games beats three away.
Using Swings In Your Plan
Plan transfers in so you own swing attackers before the easy run starts, and out before the difficulty rises again.
