Frisking the Fixtures

Which teams have the best and worst upcoming fixtures?

We take our regular “frisk” of the Premier League fixture list ahead of Gameweek 7.

In this feature, we assess the top-flight clubs with the strongest and weakest runs of league matches over the coming weeks.

Although our primary focus will be on a six-Gameweek lookahead, we will scrutinise the long-term fixtures beyond that point where relevant.

We’ll be using our Season Ticker to help – Members using this tool can sort by difficulty and teams that rotate well, filter home and away fixtures, and separate attack and defence.


The Strong

Chelsea

Next six: BHA | sou | NEW | bur | wat | CRY

Chelsea avoid not only the other big six sides over the next half-dozen Gameweeks, they also dodge any other club that finished in the top half of the Premier League table last season.

Further beyond this lookahead, a daunting trip to the Etihad in Gameweek 13 is a cloud on the horizon but there are still appealing home fixtures against West Ham, Aston Villa and Bournemouth before we get to the busy festive period.

The games at Stamford Bridge are particularly enticing as the Blues don’t meet any of last season’s top six clubs in west London until late-January.

Chelsea’s backline hasn’t convinced so far and they are still without a clean sheet under Frank Lampard but the next six matches look attractive from a defensive perspective.

Five of their next six opponents are currently scoring at a rate of one goal per game or worse, with all of the teams they face in Gameweeks 9-12 in the bottom six for big chances created.

Most of us are concerned with Chelsea’s attacking assets, of course, and the fixtures are tempting for those not already on the runaway Mason Mount (£6.6m) and Tammy Abraham (£7.5m) trains.

While Watford are the worst defensive team in the division this season, it should be said that Chelsea are likely to encounter a number of teams over the next two months whose primary objective will be to frustrate.

Burnley, Palace and Brighton are among the eight best clubs for fewest big chances conceded this season.

Arsenal

Next six: mun | BOU | shu | CRY | WOL | lei
And then: SOU | nor | BHA | whu

Monday’s trip to Manchester United precedes a run of nine league matches in which Arsenal avoid any of the ‘big six’.

From Gameweeks 8 to 16, Unai Emery’s side face the two newly promoted clubs and four of last season’s bottom ten.

With Arsenal’s defence still giving cause for concern, Fantasy managers will be likely be focusing more on the Gunners’ attacking assets for this run – although their next four opponents after United sit in the bottom six for attempts on goal this season.

Trips to Old Trafford and the King Power Stadium won’t be easy, with those two clubs having the best expected goals conceded (xGC) totals of 2019/20 so far.

Bournemouth, Palace and Wolves, Arsenal’s next three opponents at home, at least sit in the bottom half of the table for that statistic.

The Gunners put eight goals past those three sides in the corresponding fixtures last season.

No FPL forward scored more goals than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) against non-big six sides in 2018/19 (19 in 26 games).

Manchester City

Next six: eve | WOL | cry | AVL | SOU | liv

Manchester City sit second in our Season Ticker over the next five matches, although the trip to Anfield in November knocks them down a few places when we scrutinise the six-Gameweek lookahead.

City’s next two opponents haven’t kept a clean sheet between them in the last four Gameweeks, with Wolves and Everton’s early-season solidity giving way to some slack defensive displays.

Those two clubs have shipped a combined 19 goals in their last four fixtures.

Crystal Palace have been solid at the back at home this season but the Citizens are, to use a hackneyed word, surely “fixture-proof” given their attacking swagger: Pep Guardiola’s side have registered more than twice as many big chances this season than all Premier League sides bar Liverpool.

From a defensive perspective, the Citizens’ next five opponents are in the bottom half of the table for goals scored this season.

Norwich City

Next six: cry | AVL | bou | MUN | bha | WAT

For Norwich, read Chelsea.

Like the Blues, most Fantasy interest centres around the Canaries’ attacking assets, with Daniel Farke’s side still without a clean sheet.

Luckily, Bournemouth and Watford are also still yet to record a shut-out in 2019/20, so the omens look positive for the likes of Teemu Pukki (£7.1m) and Todd Cantwell (£5.0m) in those upcoming fixtures.

Norwich’s next three opponents at Carrow Road are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road, while Brighton haven’t recorded a shut-out on their own soil.

West Ham United

Next six: bou | CRY | eve | SHU | NEW | bur

Having recorded three clean sheets on the bounce, West Ham are suddenly the form defensive team in the Premier League.

A trip to Bournemouth is perhaps their biggest test before Gameweek 13 but there are positive portents for further shut-outs beyond that.

All of the Hammers’ opponents from Gameweeks 8-12 are in the bottom seven for expected goals in 2019/20.

Newcastle, Palace and Burnley are in the bottom three for big chances, with all of their next six opponents in the bottom 11 for shots on target.

At the other end of the pitch, four of their next five opponents sit in the bottom nine for big chances conceded.

Burnley

Next six: avl | EVE | lei | CHE | shu | WHU
And then: wat | CRY

Having been at the foot of the Season Ticker in Gameweeks 1 to 4, Burnley’s fixture schedule is looking a whole lot more appealing now.

The Clarets meet only one of the ‘big six’ in the next eight Gameweeks, with that being a home fixture against a Chelsea side who are still without a clean sheet under Frank Lampard.

No other top-flight club has fewer meetings with last season’s top half-dozen teams between now and the end of November.

From a defensive perspective, four of the Clarets’ next five opponents sit in the bottom seven for expected goals this season.

At the other end, five of the next seven teams they face are conceding at least two big chances per game.

Also Consider

Wolves (WAT | mci | SOU | new | ars | AVL) and Leicester (NEW | liv | BUR | sou | cry | ARS) are two clubs whose fixtures are about to get very favourable and indeed both sides have appealing games in Gameweek 7.

Trips to the Etihad and Anfield in Gameweek 8 are obviously off-putting so for that reason, we will keep our powder dry for our next Frisking the Fixtures article during the October international break.

Suffice to say, both clubs only face Arsenal – who are hardly unbeatable themselves – of the big six between Gameweeks 9 and 16.

We can’t ignore Tottenham Hotspur‘s (SOU | bha | WAT | liv | eve | SHU) ongoing excellent home fixtures, with the Lilywhites’ next five in north London all against teams that finished outside of the top ten last season.

A double-header on Merseyside is a little off-putting, though, even if Spurs did win 6-2 at Goodison Park last season.

The Weak

Southampton

Next six: tot | CHE | wol | LEI | mci | EVE
And then:  ars

Southampton’s forthcoming fixture run is a bit of a horror show as they face teams that finished in the top half last season in each of the next seven Gameweeks.

The Saints, unsurprisingly, sit bottom of our Season Ticker from Gameweeks 7-13 as a result.

Away matches at Spurs, Manchester City and Arsenal look particularly unappealing and their defence is surely a no-go zone until the fixture swing in Gameweek 14.

The four ‘big six’ sides they face in this run are among the top half-dozen clubs for goals scored this season.

Chelsea, Wolves and Arsenal can be got at defensively, of course, but there would seem little incentive to invest in Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side at present given the wealth of mid-price options with much better fixtures elsewhere.

Crystal Palace

Next six: NOR | whu | MCI | ARS | LEI | che
And then:  LIV

Crystal Palace face four big six sides in the next seven Gameweeks and languish second-bottom of our Season Ticker from Gameweeks 5-13.

Even the “winnable” games within this run come against teams who have impressed from an attacking perspective so far this season: Norwich and West Ham, for example, sit in the top half for shots on target so far in 2019/20.

City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are, to compound matters, all in the top four for that statistic.

No team has scored fewer goals than the Eagles this season and any little interest we have in their attacking assets is likely to be put on ice until Gameweek 14.

Jordan Ayew (£5.1m) could be a good benchable third striker for the coming months, at least, having started the last four.

Sheffield United 

Next six: LIV | wat | ARS | whu | BUR| tot
And then: MUN

John Lundstram (£4.4m) may find himself being benched quite a bit over the coming weeks, with Sheffield United’s fixtures stiffening.

All bar Watford of the Blades’ next seven opponents have found the net at least eight times already this season.

Five of the teams that United play in Gameweeks 7-13 sit in the top eight for attempts on goal in 2019/20.

Also Consider

There’s no escaping the fact that Liverpool‘s fixture run (shu | LEI | mun | TOT | avl | MCI) is far from ideal for those of us with assets from Jurgen Klopp’s side.

While the schedule from Gameweek 8-12 may be enough for us to swerve a triple-up, there will be many of us willing to stick with the likes of Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.1m) through the choppy waters ahead.

Klopp’s troops are, let’s remember, on a 15-match winning run in the Premier League.

The Reds face three other big six clubs between now and the November international break but games against newly promoted Sheffield United and Aston Villa offer promising clean sheet opportunities.

Brighton and Hove Albion (che | TOT | avl | EVE | NOR | mun) also face three of the big six in the next half-dozen Gameweeks.

While home games against poor travellers Everton and Norwich are more appealing fixtures, Liverpool and Arsenal await in Gameweeks 14 and 15.

As a result, the Seagulls sit bottom of our Season Ticker between now and early December.

    I'm literally torn between son and Tammy for my captain choices this week. My heart says Tammy, whilst my head says son.
    Any help please?

    1. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Son

      1. Soto Ayam
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I'm thinking the extra points for a mids goals could swing it son's way, plus he's looked good in last games, seems to enjoy playing at the new stadium and Southampton aren't that great defensively

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Scrap em both and go with someone different altogether.

      1. Soto Ayam
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Oh god, that'll make it even harder! Other possibles are Salah, KDB or vardy

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I'm on Salah atm but then I don't have Son or Tammy either.

          1. Soto Ayam
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Its nice to have such riches afforded to us this week. At least it's not a boring obvious option

            1. Brehmeren
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I have all of the above, and I am going Salah. Even though I have gotten my worst start ever. Way too early to try to be clever.

    3. Soto Ayam

      Thanks

    4. Endhey
      • 5 Years

      I'm torn between son and sterling, currently on son

  2. Moose™
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Any changes? On WC atm..

    Pope

    Otamendi Soy Rico

    Salah KdB Son Mount

    Aguero Tammy(c) Pukki

    Sub: Button Cantwell Lundy Kelly

    0.0 ITB.

    Bench order is right?

    1. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Son (vc)

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      looks good, I would put Lunds first on bench. Sure will concede but more likely to get something than Cantwell imo. Thats what my gut says anyway

    3. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Seems pretty unimpeachable. Defense will get kinda shaky if Rico loses his place to Kelly (Lloyd, not Martin) but I guess that's always only two transfers away from being fixed.

    4. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I like it as it's almost identical to my WC team. I have Lowton instead of Kelly.

      Would love some Arsenal attack in there but Auba is the only attractive option there and he is out of reach cash wise.

      GTG.

  3. Talkaboutluck
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    All set?

    Adrian
    TAA Ota Lowton
    Son(c) Mane Mount Cantwell
    Aguero Tammy Haller

    Mcginn Rico Lundy

    Have enough cash to do Haller to Vardy for a hit

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      play mcGinn not Cantwell

  4. Boo Ya Ka Sha
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    How well do Chelski defend set pieces? I get a feeling that this is a week where Dunk gets on the scoresheet.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Last week should be a clue.

  5. Nigawan
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Who to captain this week ? havent been captaining the right player for 3 GW

    A) Salah
    B) Aguero
    C) Tammy
    D) Pukki

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go B if I had him.

    2. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Tough. All could easily return.

      Probably B on current form of both teams. Everton so poor at the back and City scoring for fun.

  6. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Based on fixtures / form who of these three would u want to go forward with?

    A) Aguero
    B) Kane
    C) Aubameyang

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      damn, the fixtures for A & C are outrageous for the next 4 after this one

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        (not B)

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If you have another City attacker, C. But if you don't, A. Definitely not B, for now.

    3. Boo Ya Ka Sha
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I feel like you keep on asking about this. You own Aguero, right? That's the dude I'd want. Give him the armband every week until his minutes get reduced.

  7. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Ryan
    Digne TAA VVD | KWP Lundstram
    Salah Sterling James Mount | Dendonkey
    Wilson Pukki | Greenwood

    1FT, 1.2ITB

    What would you do with this lot? Sell Digne/KWP or get Abraham?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I've done Digne to Otamendi, I reckon I would do the same with your team.

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Would you go Abraham-less?

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I am, yes.

          1. Gooner97
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Cheers mate. I could also sell KWP for Otamendi as it's pointless owninh him because he's not starting.

            1. waldo666
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Probably KWP as he's about top drop.

              1. waldo666
                • 13 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                *to

    2. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Both. Would you consider Pukki > Abraham and Digne > Otamendi? Then deal with KWP next week if required.

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I think KWP's about to drop asap

        1. jtreble
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          He dropped a few minutes ago.

    How long until price changes?

    1. waldo666

      Any minute now, get it done!

    A. Otamendi, KDB, Mount
    B. Aurier, Sterling, Kante

    Can't decide... Son or Kun captain....

    1. waldo666

      4 years, 6 months ago

      Kun

    2. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      One player is on a side that’s scoring buckets of goals. Son is still a good pick though.

      1. rokonto
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Trouble is everyone else in the team got the goals last week 🙁

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          Kun had highest expected goals though. Was very unlucky

        2. jtreble

    C Salah or Sterling?

    1. waldo666

      I'm on Salah atm.

      1. Phil's Stamps

        Me too.

  13. Kane Train

    How do i get Abraham in for Greenwood? I have 2FT 0.6 itb happy to take a -4

    Pope
    Otamendi / TAA / Rico
    Son / Salah / KDB / James / Cantwell
    Pukki / Aguero

    Bench: Button, Lund, Greenwood, Dunk

    1. Sin Titulo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'm sure you've considered Son to Mount and Greenwood to Tammy?

      1. Kane Train
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        cant get rid of son

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Close to impossible given you don't want to sell the main 7 players.
      James doesn't get you there either.

    3. Soapy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      All the ways to do it involve sacrificing players too good to sacrifice. Just James to Mount imo

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        This.

    4. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      hope that Pukki goes out of form

    5. Kroos Kontrol
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      It really depends on TV. Assuming Greenwood has gone down to 4.4, then you have a 4.4 -> 7.5 transfer (3.1 needed).

      You get 0.6 from the bank (2.5 needed).
      Salah (12.5)->Mane (11.6). (1.6 needed)
      James(6.1?)->Hayden(4.5). Gets you the change.

      Might need to get the 4.4 mid if you're 0.1 short somewhere.

      1. Kroos Kontrol
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Wouldn't really recommend it when Mount means no hit and 2 FTs next week, but it's an option if you feel Abraham significantly outscores Mount and/or James

    Captain pick: Tammy, Vardy, Kun and Salah.. .. I'm leaning towards Tammy.. .. Thanks!

    1. waldo666

      Kun

    2. Sin Titulo

      [Wood] and Barnesy know they have got the shirts at the minute but they know that J-Rod is training hard and training well, trying to affect games when he is coming on. Vyds has popped up lately, looking sharper.

      It's a spelling error.What he is trying to say is they both(wood+barnsey) ate a dodgy kebab and are keenly aware they have the trots.

    On WC:
    A: Son and Callum Wilson
    B: McGinn and Aguero

    1. Kroos Kontrol
      • 11 Years

      I'd go with B, max out your Man City.

    2. waldo666

      B

      I did A->B today on wc

    6. Roy Rovers

      B for me.

  20. Kroos Kontrol
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Mostly set on my WC-team, but can't wrap my head around this:

    A) Firmino + TAA (have Soyuncu-Ota-Lunny-4.0)
    B) Mane + 5.1 def (have Soyuncu-Ota-Lunny-4.0)

    In B, 5.1 can become 4.6, so something like Tomori-Otamendi-Soyuncu-Lundstram-Diop/4.5

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years

      A

    Captain has been on Sterling, Salah, Kdb, Tammy and Vardy - Judging bu how my season is going which ever one I land on last will be the only one who doesn't return.

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      roll a dice and just blame Murphy's Law 😉

    2. Cruyff's Eleven

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years

      4 returners isn't bad!

      Go Vardy - it's differential captain week

  22. some witty pun
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Haller to Pukki on a FT, or too sideways of a move?

    1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      How is that sideways?

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Good move.

    3. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Stretch it to Wilson?

    4. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      i'd wait one more week to do it. I'm convinced that Norwich can start scoring away as well as home, but some are still sceptical

  23. Roy Rovers
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Anything worth a hit here or GTG?

    Pope
    Otamendi VVD Mings
    Salah (VC) KDB Mount. McGinn
    Aguero Wilson (C). Pukki.

    Button. Rico. Cantwell. Montoya

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years

      Na, you really punting on Wilson C?

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah fancy him to go well v West Ham at home.

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years

          Fair enough, not for me but GL!

          1. Roy Rovers
            • 9 Years

          2. Roy Rovers
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Who would you give the C?

            1. waldo666
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I'm on Salah atm, myself.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      looks solid

  24. F4L
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Is Mane and Greenwood ➡ Mount and Tammy for a -4 worth considering? Right now Cantwell plays most weeks for me, so that's the spot Tammy would be taking.

    1. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not if it leaves you with no Liverpool attack.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        would leave me with just Salah. I do love the double up, but its just those Chelsea fixtures drawing me in

        1. Roy Rovers
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          If you still have Salah then yes I would go for it!!

  25. badhombres
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Haller + VVD + Digne -> Tammy + TAA + Aurier for -4?

    1. surends23
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'd just do Haller + Digne -> Tammy + Aurier .... i'd do VVD to TAA next week and save the -4

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        this sound right

    2. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't for a hit.

    3. badhombres

    1. Amey

      Good option

  27. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Anything for a hit? 1.6 ITB

    Pope
    Walker TAA Tomori
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount James
    Pukki Barnes

    Button Dunk Lundstram Wickham

    1. jdp219

      nope

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Nope
      Whose your © ?
      I'm leaning towards Raz

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yep, Sterling

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Cool

      2. El-Kloppico
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I'm afraid EVE will play it tight like the 1st 2 matches.. Won't be a high scoring match, maybe 2-0. WIll RAZ be involved in these 2 goals remains to be seen.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Who'd you go with then ??
          Salah/Tammy ?

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Barnes out for Abraham would pay the -4 with plenty of interest over a few weeks.

      It seems a shame to have that front line when its forwards who are dominating the points. Do you have plans to move James into the front-line? That would have been my priority this week - week worth a hit imo. What did you do? Tomori?

    Play Pope or Heaton this week?

    Heaton because the home fixture or Pope for the save points?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I see Villa attack less potent.
      So, Pope for me
