Creating A Fixture Rotation Guide Using The Members Ticker

The Members edition of the Fantasy Football Scout season ticker allows users to create their own versions based on specific research about fixture difficulty. One of the things I like to do is to use this function to create my own rotation spreadsheet to pinpoint the teams with the easiest fixtures each Gameweek. This is particularly handy when looking for good defender and goalkeeper pairs to rotate. This brief guide aims to show you how to do this. More information about Fantasy Football Scout Membership can be found here. Please note this function is not available to non-Members.

When visiting the Members area, click on ‘season ticker.’  Once on the season ticker page scroll to the bottom and click on the  ‘fixture difficulties’ tab. To create a rotation version change all fixture difficulties to 0. This will turn the whole of the ticker white. Then if you think there is an easy fixture, such as playing Watford at home, then put a 1 in this section. This will make the fixture a dark blue on the ticker. If you think the fixture is ok, such as playing West Ham away, then put a 1100 in this section. This will make the fixture turn a light blue on the ticker. If you want to go a step further to add an extra colour in to mean something else (such as an incredibly easy fixture) then you can put a 9999 in which will make that fixture red. All white fixtures are those where you would not want to play a defender.

The above picture shows a snap shot of just four teams just to give an indication of  how your ticker will look in the end. This offers an easier way to see which teams have the easiest fixtures in a given time frame, which players to play each week and teams where you may want to invest in to offer a defensive rotation option for your squad.
