Fixture Ticker Preview Video

With attentions turning towards the start of the Premier League campaign, we’ve published a new video previewing our Fixture Ticker tool.

The Fixture Ticker is long established as a key component on the site and has evolved into a vital tool for all our visitors, not least our Members, who enjoy a host of features to aid fixture analysis and selection strategies.

This video acts as both an introduction to the Fixture Ticker, highlighting how it’s launched and how the free version can be used, plus a guide for those with access to the Members version. It can be viewed as a whole or you can jump to the chapters that may interest you.

Those familiar with the Fixture Ticker should certainly note the chapter on rotation, which demonstrates how the Members ticker can be used to analyse potential pairings – a new feature for this season. You can see that element of the Ticker explained in full here.

This really is a powerful addition. By selecting any team and hitting “sort by rotation”, the ticker now ranks those teams most appropriate for rotation with the highlighted team over the Gameweek range you choose to display. You can apply this using both the attacking and defence filters to analyse rotation pairings in attack and defence. View this chapter to see this explained in full.

Here’s a rundown and links to all the chapters included:

    Popcorn time!

  2. Red Reddington ⚽

    RMWCT (And I am 0.5 over, need to cut):

    Patrico, Lloris

    Gia, Meunier, Sagna, Evra, Guerreiro

    Hazard, KDB, Renato, Payet, Nainggolan

    Ronaldo, Griezmann, Lukaku

    Cheers, please help! Where can I cut the 0.5?

    1. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Nainggolan easiest downgrade

      1. Red Reddington ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        6m not many options..

        1. Kun Tozser
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Italy mid

    2. milanista10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'd say either Nainggolan (not sure what would you get for 6M though) or one of the French defenders 🙂

      1. Red Reddington ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers Mil! You're doing extremely well man!

        1. milanista10
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          Thanks Hazanovic! How far are you from top man?

      2. ducksfly2gether
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Ah, you're the one in 2nd eh? 6 points ahead of me...

        Coming for you 😉

        1. milanista10
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Exactly! Looking forward to that, at least one from this site has to win it 😉

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Evra to Hector

      or

      Lukaku to Gomez/Giroud

      1. Red Reddington ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers Jaks, max French players, so can't do Giroud. Think Italy will win against Germany but one of Hector/Gomez sounds ideal.

  3. Tommytour
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    A Sagna Kos Renato
    B Vertonghen Guerreiro Draxler

    B looks better at first glance but with A France cleanie looks easiest points to pick up

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B

    Would appreciate someone to sense check this for me.

    I've the WC still in tact. Sitting 5 points in the lead of cash league.

    My strategy is,
    Use 4 transfers to get rid of 4 eliminated players
    Keep hold of Rami
    Spread my bets across most teams (ie Not gamble on teams I think go through)
    Use the WC after 1/4s

    That's sound enough logic isn't it...?

    1. Sauzée
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      If you are WCing after this round just keep it simple and bring in players you think will score well this week.

    2. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Gamble on teams then use wildcard to sort it out if goes pear shape

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Rami is as good as eliminated seeing you have a WC.
      Defenders have been king so far and you are limiting yourself to 4 chances and 3 must be played.

    Crystal Palace have agreed a fee of €38m (£31.6m) with Marseille for the Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi.

    O_o

    1. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      let's see if he agrees

      1. Tommytour
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        What are the chances of Renato starting?

        1. Konig Luther
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          it will depends if Santos wants to start Quaresma or Renato (assuming Andre gomes and Moutinho will not play). he can keep him on bench and keep him as "super sub."

          1. Konig Luther
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            nothing clear atm

      2. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years

        Don't take he will, he wanted a big salary

  6. melvinmbabazi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    RMWCT 0.3ITB

    Patrico, Lloris

    Gia, Meunier, Sagna, Boateng, Guerreiro

    Hazard, KDB, Payet, Draxler, Renato

    Ronaldo, Griezmann, Gomez

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good, template

      1. melvinmbabazi

        Cheers

  7. Elijah's Wood
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    How does this look (no wildcard available)?

    Nuer
    Bonucci Fonte Meunier
    KDB Hazard Kroos Payet
    Bale Muller Ronaldo(c)

    Pazdan R.Sanches (+2 dead weights)

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Late check on Fonte

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        What does that mean? Can always play Pazdan instead

  8. yakirh
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Who to keep?
    A - Muller
    B - Bale

    1. ..RL..
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Bale

    2. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Muller more likely to go through

      1. yakirh
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Sure, I'm only asking for this round, who is more likely to score?

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Has to be Bale

    4. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Muller

    RP:
    Guys, I'm confused. When I click on 'make transfers' it says 'Points deducted: -16". I've yet to make a transfer…

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Come out go back in again

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Log out, back in and try again.

      1. alexcapel
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Logged or and back in, but still no change. It says
        'Transfers made: 0'
        'Points deducted: -16'

        WC has been used, but I don't want to make any changes and end up losing 16 points. Nobody else getting this?

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Try from a different browser/device and see if it's still doing the same thing.

          The site is pretty crap tbh.

        2. Judas

          this was happening to me. was it on the app?

          1. alexcapel
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Yea sorry, it's on the app.

  10. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    She with WC available, are you definitely using it now?

    Or tempted to save for the Semi Finals?

    My team doesn't look too bad as it is. 4 with no fixture.

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      If I had a WC, I'd definitely use it now to maximise its potential.

      1. tm245
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Hmmm.

      2. BENOIT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        How do you mean maximise? Or, hat I man is, how can you maximise now more than pre semi finals?

    2. tm245
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I have 4 w no fixture plus a GK. Am tempted to hold and just let the guys I have play another game.

      Does the 3rd place game count? If so, all the SF teams will have a guaranteed two games, might be a nice time to wild card then.

      1. BENOIT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        It's quite a tough call.

        I was all set on WCing now, but my team looks okay...

        1. tm245
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I am on
          Hennessey
          Sagna Giaccherini Jedre Chester Alderweireld
          Payet Ozil Blaszt KDB Ramsey
          Bale Muller Nani

          Without the WC -- not sure how much better it gets if I move pieces around.

        1. tm245
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Thanks, had no idea there wasn't a 3rd place match.

          1. Konig Luther
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            only in World Cup

  11. A.T
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I love that new ticker, it's the best feature in the members section IMO.

  12. A-S-H
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Rui, Lloris
    Sagna, Koscielny, Meunier, Vertonghen, Giaccherini
    Draxler, Payet, KDB, Hazard, Kapustka (Budget option)
    Eder, CR7, Griezmann

    Thoughts on this wc?? Is the lack of Germans to much of a risk.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      You should predict the results of each match and make your team based around those predictions.

      1. A-S-H
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Poland v Portugal
        Italy v Germany

        very difficult to predict.

        Gonna back france and Belgium to win

    2. zon
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Needs more german in the defense

  13. zon
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    A) Lloris/Courtois (which?), Guerreiro, Hazard, Joao Mario
    B) Halldorsson, Guerreiro, Hazard, Draxler
    C) Courtois, Koscielny, Draxler, Grosicki

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A with Courtois

  14. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    A. Ronaldo and Giroud
    B. Bale and Griezmann
    Which one? Thanks.

    1. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'm going with B, but that's because I already have Bale. if you still have your WC, I'd go with Ronaldo and Giroud.

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B

    3. Sauzée
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A.

    4. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A, if you're going to captain KDB/Hazard over Bale in their match.

  15. Bøss ⭐
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I'm going with Griezmann Gomez and Lukaku as my forwards, do you think it's a big risk going without Ronaldo and Bale?

  16. Magic Hamster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    So WC still available but with FT I can get

    Hennesey Neuer
    Hector Muenier Sagna Gia Jedrzejcyk
    Ozil Blazsczykowski Hazard Payet Draxler
    Giroud Griezmann Lukaku

    Does this seem decent...risk is no Rolando...or any Portugal for that matter?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Giroud Griezmann might be an overkill upfront but it can work. Looks good otherwise.

      1. Magic Hamster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yeh I was thinking the same, I could get Ronaldo for Griezmann and downgrade somewhere else, probably be Draxler that would be dropped...think that'd be a better option?

        1. Pariße
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Grizmann > Ronaldo
          Draxler > Renato
          perhaps

  17. Judas
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Muller, Pelle or Gomez up front?

    To go beside Lukaku and Ronaldo...

    1. Judas
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      actually no. I dont want any. Lukaku, Giroud/Griez/Ronny

  18. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Any idea on who will replace Rami for France?
    Mangala or Umtiti

    Also, Fabianski or Patricio? I already have Jedrzejecyk and Guerreiro.

  19. Ajmain
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Fabianski. Probably Mangal would be playing

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks

  20. Judas
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Griezmann or Giroud?

    1. Critical Observer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Obviously Griezmann if budget is of no concern. We have seen it by now that long balls into the box are no good vs. Iceland.

  21. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Any improvements you'd make? I'm on my wildcard.

    Fabiański
    Giaccherini Hector Meunier Guerreiro
    Kroos Błaszczykowski (C) De Bruyne Hazard
    Bale Gomez

    Bench: Lloris, Payet, Giroud, Koscielny

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      This is too similar to mine 🙂

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Good side, possibly Sagna instead of Koscielny. For 2 reasons. Koscielny 1 yellow card away from missing the semi and Sagna will put more crosses into box and I think it is more likely goals will come from crosses into the box against Iceland.

    3. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks guys!

  22. SeantheYank
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I've gotta drop Morata and Rakitic. My plan is to exchange Morata for Giroud, then Rakitic for Draxler. Puts me at 1.1 in the bank. Then take Ramsey and turn him into Nainggolan, which puts me at 2.2. Then I drop Bale for Ronaldo. Thoughts?

    My only concern with my team is I'm relying on the Germans and Belgians. I'd like more Italians, but I can't see anywhere to add them since I don't trust their mids/forwards. I've got my WC, so Rami for Gia is the going to give me 1 Italian. But that's it. Any suggestions? My defense has Boateng, Hector, Jed, and Meunier, along with Rami right now.

  23. Johnny Drama
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Reppar.
    Guys, what's your transfer-tactic. Are you thinking about players who plays in a good time that probably will go through, or just at players with great form in worse teams that probably won't go trough so you later need to transfer them out?

    1. Johnny Drama
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Repost*

    2. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      My first draft is mostly of players I think will play in the next round.

  24. melvinmbabazi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    On a WC - Who to buy?

    A) Jedrzejcyk
    B) Guerreiro

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A because B isn't nailed

      1. Critical Observer
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        How is he not nailed, who do you foresee taking his place? He has been one of the 3 best Portugese outfield players in every match he has played.

        1. DantheManinaPan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I've heard from others on the site that he hasn't trained today or yesterday. If anyone can disprove me then I'd love to put him in my team.

          1. Epic Fail
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Was there a source?

      2. BENOIT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Why isn't B nailed?

        Seems it to me.

    2. Critical Observer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Guerreiro. More involved in attack and more likely to go through IMO.

      Disclaimer, I have and will keep holding both of them.

  25. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Guerreiro fit for the next game?
    Same question for Szczesny.

    1. Johnny Drama
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Fab will probably start anyways

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Good, thanks 🙂

    WC Team:

    Rui Pat, Hennessey
    Sagna, Hector, Giaccherini, Meunier, Pazdan
    De Bruyne, Hazard, Payet, Blaszczykowski, Renato Sanches
    Ronaldo, Griezmann, Gomez

    Currently unsure on Sanches, Blaszczykowski and my keepers. Any thoughts?

    I think I have a shiiiid team... like really shiiiiid. Fancied Croatia and Spain - no WC and left with this lot...:

    Neuer / Hennesey
    Juan Fran** / Rami** / Jed / Meunier / Hector
    Fabregas** / Perisic** / Rakitic** / Payet / Ozil
    Mueller / Bale / Lukaku

    What on earth do I do? I think I want Hazard and Giachirini in my team - but what else? And should I use 4 or 5 transfers with a point deduction to have a full 15 playing folks?

    Do yellow cards count right up until the final?

      Such a dumb rule. The only yellow card ban rule I would implement is if a player gets 3 yellows in consecutive games.

        Players would aim for 3 in 4 or 4 in 5.

          Don't see a problem with that, especially in big tournaments. We want to see the best players play full out -- not cautiously. Perfect example was in the Spain - Italy game when Ramos just let the Italian guy go right by him because he didn't want to risk a yellow and a ban. For only 2 yellows across 4 games?? Ridiculous. It's a contact sport. Let the players be aggressive.

            Forgot free flowing football. Would just be a yellow card a thon. Ramos was selfish and paid the price. Rami took one for the team and misses a game.

              A very good point there.

      This is the last round that they count.

    Perhaps in any team change worth having eye on players one yellow away from ban http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/news/newsid=2385046.html

    For example Koscielny, Giroud, Grosicki,Jed,Ramsay,Vertonghen, Meuier, Witsel, Ozil, Boateng, Hummels and most of the Italian team
