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.

    Which GW will you:
    A) BB
    B) MaxCap
    C) WC

    GW4 = unlimited transfers,
    GW5 = Before QF,
    GW6 = Before SF,
    GW7 = Before Final

    At the moment, I'm on
    A) 4
    B) 2
    C) 5

      Proboblay like this:

      A) final 16
      B) final 8
      C) third round

      A) 1
      B) Not sure yet but 5,6 or 7
      C) 3

      I really think MaxCap is better utilized in the later rounds, where you don't have the opportunity to switch your captain around much.

      I'm gonna BB week 1 as my bench have good fixtures.
      MaxCap in the final where I only get one shot at the captaincy and most teams will be similar.
      WC before GW3 if I feel rotation might be a problem, otherwise save for before QF or SF where I might lose a lot of players.

      1. palace ash
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Trouble with MaxCap in the final is you are picking a captain from one game. It could very well end with no one in double figures.
        I'd rather do it when I have multiple choices of players who can get double figures.
        GW1-4 for me.

        1. President Giggs
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          But you have 4-5 opportunities to get this right in weeks 1-4. You only get one shot in the final, or two shots in the SF. These are weeks where captaincy is all that will really set teams apart.

        2. The_Adam
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          You get two shots in the final with MaxCap as it includes the 3rd/4th place play-off as well.

    Thoughts on this team folks? Good to go?

    el kajoui

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      really good. Pavard in for Dalsgaard?

      1. The_Adam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Dalsgaard is more nailed to play the first two games, and decent fixtures too against Peru and Australia. France obviously have the same two opening fixtures but Sidibe could be back for Peru.
        Denmark have kept four clean sheets in a row (against Panama, Chile, Sweden and Mexico), so I'm backing them to get at least another one.

  15. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Just had this strange feeling that I want Griezmann in my team. Comes at the expense of no Brazil which is not ideal though.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Will he not be competing for goals with Mbappe & Giroud?

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

        Apparently he starts up top with Giroud on the bench. Dembele and Mbappe on the wings.

    2. kinghenry14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      same

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

      I've gone Mbappe over no Brazil (Did have Jesus).. Like France more for GW1. Switzerland solid.. Could make it difficult for Brazil.

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

        Yeah, but GW2 could be a problem.

    4. Moore FPL
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I'd rather have Jesus

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

        Not scared of him coming off in 65 every game for Bobby?

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

    Anyone with me on super budget keepers?

    Uzoho and Almuaiouf both 4m.

    1. GoonerByron

      Salah will tear the Saudi's to pieces 😉

    2. Moore FPL

    1. The_Adam
      • 9 Years

      You do know you can pick a different captain every day if you want to, right?

      I'll be starting with Cavani, and going from there to Jesus, Lukaku and J.Rod if required.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years

        Think he's playing a local game

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

          Where did you heard that one? Did he ever mentioned it or what?

      2. TaiwanHC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Yes, I am playing a local game so I only can choose one for the entire gameweek.

        It’s between Lukaku and Neymar. Leaning towards Lukaku.

        Thoughts?

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

          Got to be Lukaku

        2. The_Adam
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Lukaku vs Panama. Could be a big haul. Go for him.

          • 6 Years

          Lukaku 200%. Can see a 4-0 Belgium win. With carrasco, Meunier, hazard, Mertens with their crosses, could be a field day

    I've got both Pavard and Mendy in an auction type game; which one should I start for first round? Is Pavard in/Mendy out certain news or just rumours?

    Now that I have a settled WC team (McDonalds)...

    I'm thinking of going Bench Boost right from the off. GW1

    GW3 would be a no go for obvious reasons and the games become tougher after the group stage.

    Anyone else going straight in with a BB in the 1st 2 GWs so to speak.

      As our budget increases by 5 mul, round of 16 is the best bet i reckon. Round 3 is a 100% no go. Round of 16 better than round 1 I guess

        My only issue would be that it will be a higher quality of player you need to buy given the budget teams will likely have been eliminated. That 5m might not go all that far.
