Fixtures

Premier League fixtures announced for 2018/19

The Premier League fixture list for 2018/19 was released today at 9am, giving Fantasy managers an early idea of which teams to target in the opening few Gameweeks.

Manchester City’s initial fixtures particularly stand out: the reigning champions begin with an away trip to Arsenal before they encounter all six of the sides promoted from the Championship over the last two seasons.

Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea only meet one of their fellow “big six” clubs in their opening half-dozen fixtures, meanwhile.

Newly promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers (EVE, lei, MCI, whu, BUR, mun) and Fulham (CPL, tot, BUR, bri, mci, WAT) have mixed starts, while Cardiff City have a decent trio of matches (bou, NEW, hud) to begin with before their fixtures toughen considerably: the Bluebirds then face six of last season’s top seven in their subsequent seven matches.

Wolves and Cardiff also have tricky-looking final-day encounters away at Liverpool and Manchester United respectively.

Southampton and Everton assets might be among those to consider in the opening months of the season: they are the only two clubs not to play any of last season’s top six sides in the first five Gameweeks.

    With Rashford possibly injured is Sterling as a MID better than James in midfield? At least two easy matches

    1. Holding Matip
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Sterling isn't the main player for England, James is for Colombia, he's in most of thier goals

    Hi all !!
    does my team need any changes ?
    Muslera (Uzoho)
    Danilo Kimmich Varane (hegazi,Lovern)
    Casemiro Eriksen JRod Belhanda (meza)
    Jesus Lewan Luku
    Thank you and good luck all !!

    1. Gullit
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Good imo.

      1. chriscosta
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        thanks m8 🙂

  3. FPL ElasticO
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    G2G for first round?? Need some opinion guys....

    Caballero
    Kimmich/ Marcelo/ Meunier
    Coutinho/ Muller/ J Rod/ Carrasco/ Miranchuk
    Jesus/ Mbappe

    Bench:: Uzoho/ Tagliafico/ Diaz/ Sakai

    1. Gullit
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      different..

      I wish I could afford Kimmich + Marcelo + Meunier

      But I couldn't sacrifice a 9.0ish attacker.

      1. chriscosta
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        that what i did,downgraded coutinho for casemiro
        to upgrade to kimmich...

  4. some witty pun
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Is Trippier nailed? Or could Walker move back to RWB

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

      I guess he should be nailed

    2. Gullit
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I believe Tripp got it

  5. Gullit
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    a) Is Varela good to go?

    b) Pavard really nailed it?

    1. Root
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yes
      No

    2. Holding Matip
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Most predict Varela to start, I have him

      Pavard is a one week punt - maybe he gets 2 weeks but no one knows for sure

      1. Gullit
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I got both.

        Should I kick Pavard out, and bring Mojica or Dalsgaard?

        1. Holding Matip
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          The reason I'm avoiding Pavard is I'd have to waste a transfer to take him out for GW2, and that could be used for something more useful

        2. 007 [RoboKlopp]
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I evet got Pavard, Varela and Dalsgaard.

        3. Holding Matip
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I would look at Akanji from Switzerland, the has good fixtures GW2/3

  6. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Would you rather have Ljajic Carrasco Cueva or Ziyech 6.5 Meza ?

    1. Holding Matip
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Isn't Carrasco 6.5?

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        He is

        1. Holding Matip
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          So Ziyech Carrasco Meza then

          1. Atimis
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            On this now

    2. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Ljajic, Carrasco and Meza from that lot

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Problem is that Im not totally sold on any of these mids

    3. liam rist
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I have Cueva asnd bellhanda in my team

  7. itwaswritten
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Imagine thinking England will even make it past the group...

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      For Kane in my team.. so I can Imagine that

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Got*

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I'll buy you a membership if they don't get out of the group.

  8. LosBlancos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    When do u plan on BB and WC?

  9. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    RP - No love)

    A little help? I need to bench one of these players

    A) Granat
    B) Taglifiaco
    C) Meza
    D) Danilo

    Note: Russia plays twice in the first round in my domestic fantasy league.

    Currently on C

    1. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Don't know who the first 3 are nor who they play for or what positions...

      But if they're defenders- wouldn't expect more than a CS from Danilo; 2x Russian player is probably better.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Taglifiaco is Argentinian LB and Mesa RW

  10. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    No Neymar in teams !? So what do you think who will be a top scorer ? 😀 😀 😀

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      A humanbeing is very likely

    2. itwaswritten
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Jesus will steal his shine.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Jesus Will be massively rotated with firmino

        1. Jebiga
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          this !!!

          Firmino fantasic season can not be forgotten

      2. Gullit
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I have faith in HIM!

    3. UshFPL
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I think it'll be Neymar but I don't have him as I think Jesus + 3m is better

      1. Jebiga
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        60 minutes of Jesus with Switzerland and Serbia upcoming !? No way 🙂

        1. UshFPL
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I'm taking Mbappe for round 1 and getting Jesus for Costa Rica. Wildcarding before round 3

          1. Jebiga
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Thats something other 🙂

    4. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I've got him.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Mind helping me out above?

  11. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Forgot to mention my budget last time.

    Best 5th mid under 5.5m?

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Meza. Looks likely to start in a front three for Argentina. Sorted.

      1. Jebiga
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        this

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

        Cheers! 🙂

    2. Holding Matip
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Layun is an interesting pick, as is Yotun

  12. zhi zhi
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    I have hardly seen Tadic in anyone's team here? Why?

    1. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe for GW8.

      1. zhi zhi
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        hehehe... He gonna score 2 goals minimum in round 1.

      • 5 Years

      Too expensive

      1. zhi zhi
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        hmm... i have him for round 1.. lets see could be a differential.

    3. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      expensive, Ljajic and Kostic better options with Mitrovic as well

      1. zhi zhi
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        hmm... thats true.

    Hi all!

    For the love for football and celebration to World Cup finally starting tomorrow I decided to make my latest iteration a special one! All of my players are from different country! Please tell me if you have any suggestions to this team:

    El Kajoui | Uzoho
    Meunier | Trippier | Kolarov | Tagliafico | Kurdiashov
    Muller | JRod | Coutinho | Eriksen | Al-Dawsari
    Cavani | Mbappe | Sarr

    Happy best time in every 4 years to everyone!

    1. noquarternt

  14. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Hi, prefer Inui, A.Ndiaye or C.Sanchez as 4.5 mid?
    Ta.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Wont make a huge difference I think

    2. Christina.
      • 14 Years

      2 pts incoming. Start again.

      More value in a 4.5m def

  15. ManLikeMeyler (Team Argenti…
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    My team:

    El Kajoui;
    L. Hernandez, Varela, Dalsgaard;
    Eriksen, Miranchuk(C), Ljajic, Meza;
    Suarez, Lukaku, Jesus.
    Subs; Uzoho, Meunier, Trippier, James.

    I'm winning the whole thing and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

    1. unlethal

      Congratulations

  16. Rohirrims
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    A) Rodriguez (SUI) + Nandez + Meza
    B) Pouraliganji + Vecino + Lo Celso

    Only one of these will end up playing the gameweek.

    1. itwaswritten
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      A.

  17. milanista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Would you downgrade Akinfeev to upgrade Nandez to Meza?

    1. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      yes

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I would find a way to upgrade Nandz to Mexa that doesn't involve getting 2 4.0 keepers...

  18. TheProfesssor
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    A. Neymar + Ziyach

    B. Griezmann + Coutinho

    1. UshFPL
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      B and you know it.

    3. TheProfesssor

      thanks

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Honestly, A for me. I really rate Ziyech.

  19. Snapes on a Plane
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Best mid for 5.5?

    A) Cueva
    B) Belhanda
    C) Meza

    1. UshFPL
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Cueva is 6.0

    2. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      meza

  20. UshFPL
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    G2G?

    Schmeichel
    Pavard Danilo Meunier Varela
    Muller Eriksen Belhanda
    Cavani Lukaku Mbappe
    (Uzohu Rodriguez Mojica Ndiaye)

    My plan was to go Mbappe -> Jesus after round 1 but should I do that now so that I have a FT to remove Pavard if Sidibe is fit? Or just leave Pavard on the bench if he's dropped in round 2?

    1. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Keep as is and see what happens! Mbappe v Peru isn't the worst thing in the world.

      1. UshFPL
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        True, thanks

  21. noquarternt
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Muslera
    Umtiti Varane Godin Giminez Varela
    Isco Eriksen Di Maria Pogba
    Griezman Cavani Suarez Smolov

    Will all these players start their first group game?

    Not RMT- Rate My Nailedness instead.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Will all start if fit.

    • 12 Years

    Kramaric likely to start for Croatia?

  24. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    How many transfers do you need to transfer out Jesus to Neymar if Firmino start to play at least a half of a minutes (around 45 minutes)?

  25. HamezMace
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Please can someone confirm my team is okay so I can get on with my actual day job;

    Almuaiouf - Uzoho

    Meunier - Granqvist - Varela - Mojica - Sabaly

    Muller - James - Willian - Cueva - Meza

    Cavani - Greizmann - Lukaku

    Obviously budget keepers, but I actually slightly favour Almuaiouf (Saudis vs Egypt) than the El Kajoui against Spain in GW3.

    I'll start both Meza and Cueva and sub one of them out for James before COL play.

    3 - 4 - 3 system.

    Anything drastically wrong?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Nothing drastically wrong. Good team.

      I don't understand your reasoning though. There's two whole weeks before GW3 to worry about first and El Kajoui has Iran in GW 1

  26. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    I've lost count of the number of times i've changes this

    Pickford, Uzoho,
    Kimmich, Meunier, Miranda, Verela, Mojica
    James, Eriksen, Cueva, Honda, Aldawsari
    Cavani, Kaku, Jesus

    Biggest concern is no Muller but Eriksen gives me a good captaincy option on all match days in the group stage.

  27. geese01
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Isnt GW1 a great time for Maximum Captain? Many of the big teams are playing with weaker opposition (uruguay, belgium, germany, france, colombia) If say I have lukaku or neymar and kimmich or meunier or James does much better ( and high chance that they will) isnt it a good idea to guarantee your best points on this particular week ?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Not really compared to later.

      Imagine it's the semi finals and you only have 2 shots at captain and like 5 German players. If say Kimmich scores and you captained a dud Werner you're completely SOL compared to in GW1 where you can hopefully twist to someone who will score big 5 bites at the cherry vs like 2

      1. geese01
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Hmm that makes sense also. Thanks !
