Frisking the Fixtures

Who has the best and worst upcoming FPL fixtures?

Our regular “frisk” of the Premier League fixture list from a Fantasy perspective returns for the first time since the 2020/21 season got underway.

In this feature, we assess the top-flight clubs with the strongest and weakest runs of league matches over the coming weeks and offer our thoughts on the stand-out Fantasy assets from each of the sides discussed.

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

Our customisable Season Ticker is our main reference point here – subscribers to our site can use this tool to sort by fixture difficulty, rotation pairings and home and away matches, as well as apply their own custom ratings.

THE STRONG

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

Traoré up against Mendy as Wolves host Man City in Gameweek 2

Next six: whu | FUL | lee | NEW | CRY | lei

Having already breached two of last season’s meanest defences in the opening two Gameweeks, Wolves and owners of their Fantasy assets should be brimming with confidence heading into the next five fixtures.

Clashes with newly promoted Fulham and Leeds United are sandwiched by matches against West Ham United, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace, with three of those five games staged at Molineux.

Fulham and Leeds have already shipped a combined 14 goals between them in the opening fortnight of the season and are ranked in the bottom three for shots on target conceded.

In fact, of Wolves’ next four opponents, only Newcastle have registered a single clean sheet so far in 2020/21 – and the Magpies were put to the sword by Brighton in Gameweek 2.

Although the West Midlands side seldom seem to batter the also-rans of the division (on only two occasions last season was their winning margin bigger than two goals), Nuno Espirito Santo’s recent comments and formation switch hinted at a removal of the handbrake.

And another positive: with Wolves already eliminated from the EFL Cup and not involved in European club competition this season, fixture congestion won’t be the issue it was in 2019/20.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

Next six: NEW | mun | WHU| bur | BHA | wba

Underwhelming against Everton and then again in the opening 45 minutes against Southampton, Spurs were ruthless after the break at St Mary’s last Sunday.

Their myriad problems won’t be solved by one half of football, especially as the result was as much to do with Saints’ failings as it was Spurs’ killer instinct.

The jury remains partly out on Jose Mourinho’s troops and with their involvement in the EFL Cup and Europa League resulting in a brutal three-games-a-week schedule, there are understandable lingering reservations about Son Heung-min (£9.0m) and co despite their recent 5-1 win.

There is little doubt, though, that the Lilywhites have one of the more favourable fixture runs over the next two months.

Jose Mourinho’s troops face four clubs who finished 10th or below last season and newly promoted West Bromwich Albion from Gameweeks 3-8, with a trip to Manchester United just before the October international break the one obvious hurdle – although the Red Devils themselves have had a sluggish start.

The Baggies have the worst defence in the division at this embryonic stage of the campaign, while West Ham have still only kept two clean sheets under David Moyes since his appointment in January.

Gameweek 3 opponents Newcastle United were also ripped to shreds by Brighton last Sunday.

Harry Kane (£10.5m) has plundered eight goals and four assists in the Lilywhites’ 11 league fixtures since the June restart – not bad for a glorified ‘number 10’.

FULHAM

Next six: AVL | wol| shu | CRY | WBA | whu

Other than bench fodder, Fantasy interest in the Cottagers centres around one man: Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.0m).

Few will be venturing anywhere near a defence that has conceded seven goals in their opening two games and who were regularly battered in their last top-flight spell.

Rotation looks to be a risk in midfield, too, especially in the attacking trident behind Mitrovic.

For those hanging onto the Serb, it’s Fulham’s medium-term home fixtures that catch the eye with Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, West Bromwich Albion and Everton to come between now and Gameweek 9. All these sides finished in the bottom half of the Premier League or were promoted last season although, as we’ve seen with the Toffees and Palace especially, that could already be an irrelevance.

The same could be said for Sheffield United for different reasons, of course, with the Blades – Fulham’s Gameweek 5 opponents – not looking as watertight as they once were.

Gameweek 9 or 10 seems like a jumping-off point for Mitrovic backers, with some daunting fixtures to come in November and December.

SOUTHAMPTON

Next six: bur | WBA | che | EVE | avl | NEW

Southampton are hardly off to an auspicious start, with two losses, six goals conceded and some worrying comments from Ralph Hasenhuttl all acting as repellents.

While their defenders aren’t exactly issuing “come-and-get-me” pleas to FPL managers, Danny Ings (£8.4m) bounced back to scoring form against Spurs and now seems to be first in line for penalties, if he wasn’t already.

The upcoming fixture schedule looks more positive at least, with five matches against sides who either came up from the Championship or finished 10th or below in the top flight last season sandwiching a Gameweek 5 meeting with Chelsea.

Burnley’s patched-up backline and West Brom’s creaky defence certainly look like perfect matches for Ings, even if the players behind him are struggling for form and fitness.

CHELSEA

Next six: wba | CRY | SOU | mun | bur | SHU

With Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs having mixed runs in the next half-dozen Gameweeks, Chelsea have the most appealing sequence of games among the teams that finished in the top four last season.

West Brom and Southampton, as we have discussed, have looked wide open in the first two rounds of the new campaign and let’s not forget that Crystal Palace, as good as they have been in September, didn’t register a single shut-out against the top nine clubs last season.

And will Burnley and Sheffield United be as formidable as they were in 2019/20? The tiny data sample that is the first two Gameweeks suggests not, but we will at least have more to go off by the time Frank Lampard’s side face last season’s surprise packages in Gameweeks 7 and 8.

We’re still waiting on the new-look Chelsea to hit full throttle and we may not see what they are truly capable of until Christian Pulisic (£8.4m) and Hakim Ziyech (£7.9m) return from injury, whenever that may be.

Regardless, those invested in Timo Werner (£9.5m) and Kai Havertz (£8.4m) will surely give the German imports at least another Gameweek to prove their worth given that Slaven Bilic’s porous West Brom side are currently conceding chances and goals galore.

ALSO CONSIDER

Crystal Palace (EVE | che | BHA | ful | wol |LEE) will be a permanent fixture in these articles over the coming month or two, with their schedule looking very decent indeed all the way up to Gameweek 11 (and possibly beyond).

All three of the newly promoted sides face the Eagles between now and that point, along with Brighton, Burnley and Newcastle.

That’s particularly relevant as all ten of Palace’s clean sheets last season came in matches against teams who finished 10th or below.

Indeed, Roy Hodgson’s troops were at it again in Gameweek 1, shutting out Southampton.

The reason we don’t feature the Eagles higher up in this article is their next two matches: in Everton and Chelsea, they will be tackling two sides who have spent big on attacking assets over the summer, with the Toffees in particular looking like a team transformed.

Frank Lampard’s side may also have a half-decent goalkeeper between the sticks in Gameweek 4, following the capture of Edouard Mendy (£5.0m) – a blow to owners of Wilfried Zaha (£7.1m) and co given the well-documented struggles of the unfortunate Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5.0m).

Sandwiching home games against Chelsea and Spurs are four winnable matches for West Bromwich Albion (CHE | sou | BUR | bha | ful | TOT).

Much like with Fulham, few of us will be going anywhere near Albion’s ropey-looking defence or most of their more attack-minded assets.

Matheus Pereira (£6.0m), like Mitrovic, is something of a talisman for his newly promoted club, however, and can likely be relied on for starts and the occasional goal involvement.

Southampton and Burnley are two clubs at a bit of a defensive crossroads, with Saints’ ill-fated high line experimentation and the Clarets’ unavailability issues meaning that now is probably a decent time to face both sides.

Fulham and Albion may well be the Premier League whipping boys this season and they meet in Gameweek 7, with goals looking likelier than clean sheets based on the evidence so far.

Everton (cry | BHA | LIV | sou | new | MUN) have unquestionably exceeded expectations in the opening three Gameweeks: now perhaps comes some tougher tests.

Crystal Palace and Brighton are two sides who have caught the eye in the opening two weeks of the campaign, with the Eagles boasting a 100% record and their rivals up the M23 impressive in both defeat and victory over the last fortnight.

A Merseyside derby follows immediately after the international break and it’s perhaps not until Gameweek 6 that the Toffees’ schedule really gets good, with Fulham and Leeds also waiting at the end of November.

Burnley (SOU | new | wba | TOT | CHE | bha) are the opposite, with their next three fixtures arguably the best of any Premier League side’s.

Three teams that conceded 13 goals between them in Gameweek 2 alone are up next for the Clarets, who themselves could be vulnerable with both first-choice centre-halves and a plethora of others on the treatment table.

Chris Wood (£6.5m), who looks about as nailed as could be in attack and who looked sharp in the Gameweek 2 defeat at Leicester, might be able to exploit three backlines who require radical and urgent improvement based on their early-season woes.

THE WEAK

WEST HAM UNITED

Next six: WOL | lei | tot | MCI | liv | FUL

Sitting rock bottom of our Season Ticker over the next five Gameweeks, winless West Ham are in for a tough old autumn.

The favourable opening-day clash with Newcastle ended in a dire defeat and, although there was a marked improvement at the Emirates last weekend, the medium-term outlook is bleak for David Moyes’ COVID-hit side.

Having already encountered Arsenal, the Hammers meet another five of last season’s top eight between Gameweeks 3 and 7.

Three of those matches are away from home, too.

West Ham’s defence has long been off the Fantasy menu but interest in Michail Antonio (£6.4m) was keen after his post-restart exploits.

Even against “big six” opposition, he has proven that he can deliver – goals against the Gunners, Chelsea and Manchester United have arrived since lockdown ended – but, in reality, anyone who pays even a modicum of attention to fixture difficulty will be deterred by the sea of red given the mid-price alternatives with more favourable schedules.

ARSENAL

Should FPL managers sell Aubameyang ahead of Arsenal's tough fixture run? 4

Next six: liv | SHU | mci | LEI | mun | AVL

After a favourable start to 2020/21 in which Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.9m) barely made par against Fulham and West Ham United, Arsenal’s fixtures are heading south.

Eight of last season’s top ten clubs are to come between now and Gameweek 12, with away trips to Anfield and the Etihad of immediate concern.

In nine 2019/20 league meetings against his next five opponents, Aubameyang delivered just two goals and one assist.

It should be said that the Gabon international recently scored against the Reds and City in the Community Shield and FA Cup semi-finals respectively, with Liverpool’s high defensive line, exposed by Leeds in Gameweek 1, something that could benefit the premium FPL midfielder.

Still, the fact remains that the Gunners’ Gameweek 3-7 opponents were all in the top six for fewest goals conceded in 2019/20.

Arsenal and their left-winger will undoubtedly pick up results and attacking returns against their forthcoming opposition; it’s just how many, and whether keeping an FPL asset so pricey is justifiable given that he isn’t likely to be backed with the armband until perhaps Gameweek 8.

LEEDS UNITED

Next six: shu | MCI | WOL | avl | LEI | cry

The darlings of the FPL community and scourge of the expected goal brigade, Leeds United have offered excellent value in attack in the opening two Gameweeks of the season.

Scoring three goals against Liverpool will give Marcelo Bielsa’s side encouragement that they can bust any top-flight defence and they’ll need that hope heading into a tricky run of games.

Six of Leeds’ next nine opponents were top-half finishers last season, with a promising Everton side also to come.

Four of the Whites’ next five games are against teams who were in the top seven for fewest goals conceded and most clean sheets kept in 2020/21.

Now might be a decent time to play Sheffield United, mind, with the Blades struggling to recapture last season’s defensively solidity and down a centre-half in Gameweek 3.

In Manchester City and Wolves, however, Leeds will be facing two of the meanest backlines of the post-lockdown era: they have kept 13 clean sheets in their last 22 league games combined.

SHEFFIELD UNITED

what-can-we-learn-from-gameweek-1

Next six: LEE | ars | FUL | liv | MCI | CHE

Having been usurped by Leeds as the hipsters’ favourite, Sheffield United now have to wrestle some of last season’s form back ahead of a daunting run of games.

Home fixtures against newly promoted Leeds and Fulham at least don’t look too bad on paper but the Whites’ free-scoring start to the campaign may be of some concern to Chris Wilder, whose side are goalless, clean sheet-less and pointless after two Gameweeks.

There were mitigating factors against Aston Villa given that they played 80 minutes with only ten men and they produced a creditable display in defeat, not allowing their opposition a single big chance.

But with their previously budget-friendly defenders all handed price rises for 2020/21, and with only two shut-outs recorded in 12 meetings against ‘big six’ clubs last season, the Blades’ assets will likely be low down on many FPL managers’ watchlists until a favourable swing in Gameweek 9.

            Did he actually? I didnt see any post-match presser so was eagerly looking out for this.

            In any case, if he was concussed or showed any possible signs he would have been hauled off right away. The fact he played on should mean he is fine.

        Yeah, I think he should be fine.

          you mean you hope he is. All I know is if that was rugby league (a far tougher sport) he'd jave missed the rest of the gane

              • 10 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              lets put it this way, in football they pretend they're injured, in rugby league they pretend they're not

              1. Tinkermania
                • 4 Years

                You will find that it's cheating other than being weak. I don't condone by the way.

                  What's your point? I'm not saying footballers are soft I'm saying rugby is tougher on the body, how is that even a debate

                    • 4 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    I agree with how you put your point this time. There was no mention of the body initially.

                    1. Rhinos

                      my point was merely to highlight the substandard concussion protocols in football

            • 9 Years

            It was an elbow, but more of a coming together than malicious one to cause damage. They have their rules on concussion so lets wait and see.

    Anyone want to solve this riddle?

    1) TAA, Lamptey, Podence, Jesus

    OR

    2) Robbo, VVD, Son, Davis/Brewster

    1. TheDragon

      I feel like there must be a better 3rd answer

      1. The Neville Wears Prada
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Find a better combo that costs less than or equal to 27.1. Answer, you cant

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Definitely 1 for me then - don’t know what your other strikers are without seeing your team but potentially Podence & Jesus -> Foden & DCL/Jimenez/Ings?

          1. The Neville Wears Prada
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Both options have Jimi and DCL

          2. The Neville Wears Prada
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Both teams also has Foden, KDB and salah in it

  9. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Given KDB may never plays again after his head injury and that Bamford is a far superior pick to Werner given scores so far.....

    KDB & Werner -> Sterling & Bamford (-8)?

    1. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Or just Kdb to Sterling

    2. the dom 1

    sorry for the repost guys, appreciate some help!

    Current team:
    McCarthy Nyland
    TAA Justin CTaylor BDavies Ferguson
    Salah KDB Son Perreira Stephens
    Martial Werner Davis

    WC team:
    martinez Nyland
    Robbo Saiss Mitchel 4.0. 4.0
    Salah Son KDB Zaha Greenwood
    Jim DCL Brewwster

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Just hold, prob too late to WC now

      1. tibollom
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        thanks mate, you reckon my team can hold a bit? Why you say too late for WC?

    Why is Bissouma only suspended for one game? Straight red?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      3 game ban but included cup games. They’ve played 1 cup game and won and have another one coming up. So only misses this weeks league game

        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers.

    2. Pukki Blinders

      was an accidental fly kick from behind

  12. Lilac Breasted Roller
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    On a WC, so I think I'll do KDB -> Sterling and save the FT.

    A) Robbo / Mitrovich
    B) TAA / Bamford ? (Already have klich, and as the article suggests - leeds are in for tough defenses)

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. Lilac Breasted Roller
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Actually could also save 0.5 by doing James -> Lamptey

  13. Ian Davis
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A) R James or Saïss

    B) H Costa, Klich or Podence

    1. Blandiblub
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      James & Klich for me.

  14. M2.0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Please help me out lads:

    a) Hamez/VVD
    b) Wood/TAA

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

  15. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    If you had to choose 1 of them?

    A) Saiss
    B) James

    1. Lilac Breasted Roller
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      saiss

      1. Geano
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Saiss

  16. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Leaning towards Werner over son. Means I have less money itb and have the option of shifting to Jesus/Martial. How's this wc look?

    Martinez (Steer)
    TAA James Saiss (Lamptey Mitchell)
    Salah KDB Foden Podence (Anguissa)
    Werner Jimenez DCL

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It’s template gtg

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Exact same as one of my many drafts, so must be brilliant.

  17. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Interesting to see that the Salah home, Mane away theory be debunked on Twitter... 2 seasons ago Mane outperformed Salah at home quite significantly

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If it’s been debunked based on what happened 2 seasons ago then it’s not been debunked at all

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Can’t say that off one season, who’s to say it won’t flip again this season?

    2. Goonsquad245
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      But the theory that Salah is terrible away from home when Mane starts lives on!!

  18. BurnMyBread
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    James or Saiss for a -4? Semedo in consideration too.

  19. Kitsune
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How come Traore isn't getting much attention? Haven't seen one team with him in. Good fixtures and will move further up with Semedo in.
    Guessing it's the Foden love at that price point?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Podence for 1.0 cheaper... when Podence is rotated people will realise Traore is probably worth that extra money

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      We haven't been sure where he'll play and how many minutes he'll get. We still aren't.

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      May punt on Bertrand Traore...

    Hi, first of all I would like to thanks the whole community, I read topics from some time and you're doing amazing job! Lots of useful advises, thanks again. I am honoured to join you!

    My first question to you, who do you think would be best to join my def for GW3 (two of them and two benched):

    Mitchell (EVE)
    KWP (bur)
    Castagne (mci)
    Targett (ful) ?

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Mitchell Castagne

      1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Actually, Targett over Mitchell

    2. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      KTMC, in that order of preference for me

      1. Geano
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Agree

        1. matestro
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks, I wonder about Castagne and his potential of assisting but MCI away... could be hard to make some points.

  21. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Hi all I’m on wc and struggling with these options

    A) vvd taylor podence
    B) robbo taylor soucek
    C) vvd saiss soucek

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. Kitsune
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Can you do Saiss VVD and a 4.5 mid?

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not really bench will be a bit too weak then

    3. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      D) castagne/james/coleman taylor foden

  22. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    who is the best keeper on a WC?

    Who is not Martinez.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If money's no object, probably Patricio.

    2. Kitsune
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Money no object?

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Guaita

    4. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ryan

  23. Mok
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Who would you rather have if only two players should start every week?
    A) Salah, Anguissa, Adams (0.1M short on Mitro)
    B) Rodriguez, Klich, Ings

    Currently on A, but B is tempting with all 3 being on penalties.

  24. davies
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Captain...

    A) KDB (LEI)
    B) Werner (wba)

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Werner haul incoming

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    3. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B

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

      A

  25. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Do we expect Greenwood to start against Brighton?

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

      Definitely

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah

  26. matiakez
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Sell Davies for-4 or hope he plays??

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Who comes in if he doesn't play? Hope is what I am doing with Mitchell first on bench.

      1. matiakez
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Jamal Lewis, so its not ideal. Think I'll also hope and get Saiss for free next week

  27. Gazpilicueta
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Hey everyone, any thoughts on my wildcard team?

    Martinez, 4.0
    Robbo, Semedo, Lamptey, Justin, Mitchell
    Salah, KDB, Hamez, Foden, Podence
    Jesus, DCL, Davis
    1.5 in the bank.

    any ideas? im not 100% on martinez, but im pretty happy with the rest
    what do you all think of semedo?!

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      plan with the 1.5m?
      I would go Son over HRod

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

        no plan at the moment, just flexibility i guess.

  28. Geano
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    On a wildcard. Want Ryan and Brighton backup keeper.
    Any Brighton fans know who will be backup when Walton is fit?

  29. Little Frank
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best option on a WC:
    a. TAA Son Werner
    b. VVD Salah Havertz

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

  30. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Y'all think Semedo starts this weekend?
