Analysing the recovery period between matches and its impact on FPL

With the FA Cup fixtures causing a longer-than-usual Gameweek, we finally have some time to take stock of the landscape after a hectic period of three Fantasy Premier League deadlines in 10 days.

This is the longest break we will have for a while, with the next three deadlines coming thick and fast. We only have the TV schedule for Gameweeks 33-35 so far and certain teams have been afforded longer rest periods compared to others as the below table shows:

As mentioned in my earlier piece on the Christmas schedule, “recent research has shown that muscle injury risk increases by almost 20% when recovery time is reduced from six to three days”.

It concluded that fixture congestion and insufficient recovery time between matches are two of the major risk factors associated with injuries and suggested that players should have at least 96 hours between matches in order to recover fully. Beyond the 96-hour period, there were no significant gains observed.

Few teams are afforded the luxury of a 96-hour rest in this period, and the teams closest to that are in green in the table. Teams closer to 72 hours are in yellow and below 72 are in red.

The average total rest period is 265 hours so in the final column, teams around that number are in yellow, below that are in red, and teams well above the average are in green.

The problem with this table is that it exaggerates the total recovery period for the non-FA Cup teams. For example, Burnley have 134 hours of recovery for Gameweek 33+ which makes their total recovery period look favourable (277 hours) despite just 76 and 67 hours recovery for their next matches, but as quoted above, beyond 96 hours the recovery gains are minimal.

Players still ideally need 96 hours to recover for the next match even if they have had 100+ hours of rest prior.

I still wanted to include this table though as it does, however, emphasise how difficult the schedule is for Liverpool (205), Manchester City (210) and Sheffield United (209). Chelsea (231), Newcastle (227), Norwich (229), Spurs (233) and West Ham (227) have it tough as well.

The below chart looks at only the period between Gameweeks 33-35, ignoring the exaggerated rest periods for teams not involved in the FA Cup:

The average total rest period is 163 hours so in the final column, teams around that number are in yellow, below that are in red, and teams well above the average are in green.

Manchester United have 217 hours of rest between their three matches, the most favourable schedule. This is great news for those investing in their assets as rotation should be minimal and performance levels can stay consistent. Wolves also have a relatively relaxed schedule with 183 hours of recovery.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have just 161 hours of rest time. City and Liverpool have extremely compressed schedules with just 141 hours and 139 hours respectively; that’s over three days less than the Red Devils.

Everton and Spurs have reason to be aggrieved as well, with just 132 and 137 hours of recovery time respectively, the lowest in the league. Burnley, Newcastle, Sheffield United and West Ham assets will also need to be monitored with their short recovery periods.

Rotation seems far more likely for these teams in red and drops in performance levels are to be expected as well, especially for teams near the bottom of the table who can’t afford to rotate.

This also makes me ask the following questions:            

1. What to do with Liverpool assets?

Salah stars as Liverpool take advantage of Aké injury

The Reds have now clinched the Premier League title but still have seven league games to play. Klopp has already said that he views the remainder of this campaign as sort of a pre-season for the next one, given the short rest time between the two.

He’s also poured cold water on FPL managers’ hopes that the Reds will play strong line-ups with a view to achieving a record points tally.

In his latest comments, he said:

Getting these types of points tallies sounds pretty nice to me but I’m not sure it’s possible because six or seven of the remaining games we play in a very short period of time. Every three days we will need to make a lot of changes, we need to be lucky and make sure nobody gets injured. We need to be lucky there. If a player gets injured he cannot play the next five as well so that makes it really tricky for all of us.

This makes things a bit tricky for us FPL managers, as well, in terms of owning expensive midfield assets like Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) or Sadio Mane (£12.5m). Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m) is a bit less of an issue given his low price. They are all likely to start the Manchester City fixture given the long rest but right after that they play Villa with just 66 hours of recovery, then it’s Brighton with just 74 hours rest and then Burnley with just 65.

If we do hold our Liverpool attackers, we have to be careful with the captaincy. If Salah/Mane get benched in one game, they become captain material for the next game. Such patterns will have to be monitored closely, as well as the substitutions in the City game. Salah will no doubt be hungry for the Golden Boot but it seems unlikely Klopp will risk injury by starting him in all three games.

2. Do we put our faith in Jesus?

Manchester City have the best run of fixtures from Gameweek 33-38 and with Sergio Aguero (£11.7m) ruled out due to injury for that entire period, investing in Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m) is certainly tempting.

However, as the Chelsea fixture showed, the Brazilian’s starting spot is not guaranteed with Bernardo Silva (£7.7m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) alternatives in that role.

Pep Guardiola has already gone on record stating his priority is the cups going forward and he will not want to risk his only recognised striker picking up a fatigue-related injury in such a busy schedule, so his minutes might be managed very carefully. Kevin De Bruyne’s (£10.7m) pitch-time will no doubt be monitored as well.

3. Could differences in rest periods affect performances?

In Gameweek 34, Spurs play Bournemouth with the former having 68 hours of recovery compared to the Cherries’ 121. Everton will have had just 68 hours rest compared to their opponents Southampton’s 93.

In Gameweek 35, Villa have just 64 hours of rest versus 114 for Palace. Everton have 64 hours to Wolves’ 88. Newcastle have 65 hours to Watford’s 89. Sheffield United have a full 24 hours less recovery time than their opponents Chelsea. Arsenal have nearly two days more recovery time than Spurs.

These differences need to be kept in mind as they will likely have an impact on energy levels and performances.

4.  Could switching between heavy hitters be beneficial?  

Like I mentioned earlier, a benching for a heavy-hitting asset like De Bruyne, Salah, Mane, Sterling etc increases their probability of starting the next game. So switching between them and handing them the armband depending on their minutes in the previous game could be rewarding. It is highly unlikely that any of them will start every match given their schedules.

My Team

Having looked at the schedule, getting a third Manchester United player into my squad will be my priority. They have the ideal motivation and near-perfect fixtures/scheduling.

Dominic Calvert Lewin (£6.4m) and Sadio Mane (£12.5m) will likely be making way for Marcus Rashford (£9.1m) and Christan Pulisic (£7.0m) with my two free transfers. Selling De Bruyne instead of the Senegalese is also an option.

Hope you found this information useful. Good luck and stay safe!

    Interesting chasing WC by Mark.

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/21074/event/41

    No Salah or KDB, triple Utd attack, all goal scoring defenders.

    Nice strategy to try and get top 100K.

    Poor Granville on the other hand, even this season he can't beat Mark.

    For those who don't know, that is the reason this site exists. Granville won against Mark and Mark decided to open FFS 😉

        Mahrez won’t start vs sou

  5. waltzingmatildas

    Ooh son, mount and dcl to mahrez, foden and Kane sounds fun!

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kane? Not yet man.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Need to do something to chase the gap. Maybe I get in ahead of the goals instead of always chasing!

        1. Tinkermania
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Kane too risky, unless you are expecting a lot of penalties

    2. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Probably just mount or son to mahrez this week

  7. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years

    just dicking around here really, but thoughts on this WC team?

    Martinez (Martin)
    TAA Doherty Alonso (Lamptey Schelotto)
    Salah Mane Mahrez Martial Foden
    Kane Nketiah (Connolly)

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Decent, still not sold on Kane.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        same, he's clearly a rip-off but you never know - nailed and goals per game pretty good

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      no ings?????????

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      How can you think of a team without KDB
      Scares me ...
      He's super awesome

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        hoping for a miracle to be sure

      2. Tinkermania
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        No one is essential. I have managed this season without KDB. Depends how you build your team elsewhere.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          This

    4. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      goalie:
      Pick one of Pat/Pope and stick

      def
      Alonso has minimal CS potential , swap for AWB

      Mid
      I don't think you need double Liverpool mid. just pick Salah as going for GB
      Midfield swap Mane for Son and money to boost forward line

      Fwd
      Horrible forwards - don't like any of them. You need Jiminez, maybe Rash if you have budget

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        agree on keeper
        don't agree on Alonso, he has pretty good attacking potential
        Jimenez and Rashford are the best two yeah, but everyone else has them and that won't do me much good at this stage

    5. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Only player sticking out like a sore thumb is Kane. Other than that it looks very good.

      Kane 》Rashford

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I can always just downgrade Kane if he's turd, I want to do something maverick (as well as no KDB)

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Geuss going Kane is easy to ship him out for another forward if he has some stinkers. Him being a differential is the only positive at the moment lol

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            he is probably least prone to rotation too tbf

    6. FPL_Devil
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Wouldn’t go double Liverpool mid. I don’t have any myself:)

  8. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    See some on here going triple City. Surely as much risk as having triple LFC?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I agree

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Agreed.

      The only difference is they are much cheaper than Salah/Mane unless going with Sterling.

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        That, and also City fixtures are great while Pool fixtures after Villa are average.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I was considering KDB, Mahrez and Foden but not convinced anymore. Probably end up having KDB and Foden as 5th mid and part of BB.

    Which one scores more between GW36+ and GW38+:

    1) Sterling (BOU / wat / NOR) + Ings (BHA / bou / SHU)
    2) Son (new / LEI / cry) + Jesus (BOU / wat / NOR)

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years

      Ask after GW35 deadline

      1. ASOUSA12
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        On WC this GW and already booking future transfers with Salah and DCL...

        No problem with forward thinking

        Anyway, currently leaning on 1)

  15. Ginkapo FPL

    3 years, 9 months ago

    @Zophar

    If you reports hours less than 96, rather than total hours you will find the metric scoring does a clearer picture. Alternatively give a score of 2 for 96+ hours and 1 for 72-95hours and 0 for 71- hours. That way the teams with 0 will struggle the most.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I checked the christmas article in hindsight. His article was pretty accurate

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      It may be clearer, but you lose data when you do that. Better to leave it in its raw form and use the colour coding to simplify.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Its the total hours column that doesnt work. He acknowledged it in the article and removed gw33 instead of dealing with the issue.

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Although I would have chosen less garish colours, used a more relaxed palette, and ordered the table by 'Total Recovery Period' but that's splitting hairs. Great work.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Entirely splitting hairs. Its a good article though, and without a little refinement I fear the point will be missed by most.

    Sell Barnes or Mount?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      sell both

    2. Mingo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Barnes. He either gets benched or hauled off at 60 mins. Plus Leicester look lethargic. Mount is important to Chelsea and Lampard favours him.

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      For whom?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I am giving Barnes last chance next game. I have a positive feeling that he will score

        1. Pep Roulette

          If he does that, then he stays in my team. Arsenal, Bournemouth & Sheffield after that!

    And then some expert on this page told me last night that fraud Jesus is better pick than Jimenez.

    Even without Aguero he wont be 1st pick as striker.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Foden looked so much better in limited minutes

      I was told Kane is better than Messi by some expert.

    3. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      We already know Jesus is 1st pick striker when Aguero is not available. They had plenty of games in which Aguero was injured and Jesus started majority of them.

    • 9 Years

    Anyone looking at kane?

    Nailed and captainable amongst heavily rotated alternatives.

    Huge differential. And looked ok v west ham.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No. Got Son.

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      too much money

      Son better value

    3. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not enough space for him Jimenez/Nketiah/DCL/Rashford and some great midfielders around.

    4. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not a chance

      Just Son

    5. Rover
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes. Have Son and Alli now but will shift to Kane on WC

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I'm my mini league some of those I'm chasing have son....

  22. Bobby
    • 14 Years

    I may end up with ten men on a free hit, if pulisic and Bruno domt appear. Why I played that chip on fa cup week lord only knows

    1. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I’d be really surprised if Bruno doesn’t play any minutes vs Brighton.

  23. XABI 15
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Ings first sub 🙁 🙁 if I had played him I could have been looking at a top 400 OR.

    Any chance Barnes or Pulisic get rested?

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      D for gamble
      C for safety

      don't like Jesus or Kane

    For the run in:

    (a) Taylor & Foden
    or
    (b) Saiss & Saka

    B feels safer but those city fixtures...

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      1. Nightcrawler

        3 years, 9 months ago

        Selling him for martial worked out well for me

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
