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.

      THanks again!

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

    My team is set, but I still have some concerns.

    Got Pavard and Varela
    (Akanji, Mojica and Dalsgaard could be contenders for a spot)

    Got Belhanda
    (Meza could be a contender for a spot)

    I could go Meza, but with Pavard and Varela already with some doubts, I felt it would be too risky.

    Would you guys change any of those in defense or midfield? and why?

    Tkx and GOOD WC LUCK

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      i agree with you, stick with the ones you have

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

        tkx! WC should start already to avoid any last minutes doubts...

  9. Buck The Trent

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

      I don't you will get much out of that keeper pairing.

      Szczesny, Gallese, Trippier

      Pickford, Uzoho, Lovren/ Tagliafico

      1. Moore FPL
        • 9 Years

      Once it's on, it's on for good. It did ask you if you were sure...

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

      Make a new team. Forget that one.

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

      It's a good time to play it.

  18. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Lewandowski or Cavani?

    Can't decide this. Lewandowski is the talisman for his team and on pens whereas Cavani may share points with Suarez but arguably has an easier fixture.

    Thoughts?

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

      Cavani for me

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

      Cavani.

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

      Cavani for me

    Hi

    McD FF, does anyone know if the formation can be manually changed after each game day?

    I.E. have a 3-4-3 to incorporate the 11 players that play in the first set of games. Has the matches progress, i may wish to change to 5-3-2 so that i can drop poor-scoring players to include those yet to play.

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

      You can sub poorly performing player for players yet to play, as long as you stick to a minimum of
      3 defenders
      3 midfielders
      1 attacker

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

        Sorry 2 midfielders

        So you can play 5-2-3

      2. L'Aeroplanino
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        5-2-3 is also possible

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

      Yes, it's possible!

    3. Sweetboi
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yep, formation can change every day.
