Sunderland's next 3 fixtures: GW6 at home vs Brighton (FDR 3 — moderate); GW7 away vs Bournemouth (FDR 3 — moderate); GW8 at home vs Leeds (FDR 3 — moderate). Average FDR is 3.0 — a mixed schedule. Lower FDR means easier opposition.

Sunderland have a mixed fixture run (avg FDR 3.0). 1–2 differential picks can be rewarding; captaincy relies on form. As a general rule, FPL squads with 3+ players from one team risk blank GW exposure if that club is in a cup run. Spread risk unless fixtures are clearly favourable.
