Identifying teams about to have the best and worst upcoming fixtures is an important part of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).
For example, owning a defender who is about to face many top teams doesn’t hint at imminent clean sheets. But if Arsenal or Manchester City are entering a strong fixture run – in terms of quality and quantity – a manager will want to invest in them.
FPL Fixture Ticker
The best tool to help identify these trends is surely our Fixture Ticker. One of the most popular Chief Scout tools, we’ve recently made a free version that absolutely everyone can access.
It’s a fully interactive, colour-coded table which can rank a variable time period of Fantasy fixtures according to difficulty, from ‘easy’ to ‘hard’.
Matches are rated in terms of toughness, which is continually updated over the season. But team ratings can be customised by those who disagree.
Another usable filter is being able to rank by projected goals or clean sheet likelihood.
The aim is to immediately spot periods of good and bad opponents, allowing player rotations to be discovered and strategies to be formed for transfers and chips.
It’s the type of organisation that helps win mini-leagues and secure high-placed finishes.
