With the Premier League fixtures now released for 2022/23, we are able to assess which teams we should invest in and which we should avoid.

We have already taken a look at the top-flight teams with less favourable schedules, and now turn our attention to those sides with the best runs of opening fixtures on paper.

The primary focus in this article will be on a six-Gameweek lookahead but we will scrutinise the shorter and longer-term prospects where appropriate.

Our Season Ticker was updated almost immediately after the fixtures were released at 9am BST on Thursday, with the opening six Gameweeks sorted by difficulty below:

BEST FIXTURES

LIVERPOOL

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 2? 7

Liverpool are top of our Season Ticker in the first six Gameweeks of 2022/23.

The Reds only face one of last season’s top six in that time and it’s against a far-from convincing Manchester United in Gameweek 3.

Championship winners Fulham are first up for Jurgen Klopp’s side, and given that Mohamed Salah is traditionally a strong starter – he has scored in five successive opening-weekend matches – there’ll be few of us going without the Egyptian in our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) drafts.

Notably, it will be the fourth season in a row which Liverpool have started a new campaign against a Premier League newcomer.

Crystal Palace then follow, with another newly-promoted side Bournemouth, plus Newcastle United and Merseyside rivals Everton, to come in the first half-dozen Gameweeks.

    Good evening,
    Some extremely tough fixtures to navigate concerning G/W one, personally, I can’t wait, can’t really see a template team appearing and managers points in general will vary massively! Bring it on 🙂

    Liverpool and Man City having the best fixtures doesn't help the idea of an early bench boost.

      I benefitted from starting with triple seagulls last season (Sanchez, Duffy and Bissouma) but despite their fixtures, I'll not get any this time. They've lost Burn and Bissouma and are about to lose Cucurella. I'm not that confident they'll start well.

        I was initially thinking of punting on them but just afterwards remembered this. Losing Burn definitely had an impact on them for a while after January, then they ended the season pretty well. But Bissouma is a huge loss and Cucurella was voted their POTS so losing him would be a worry too. I still might be possibly tempted by an attacker (price point pending) but need to see what additions they make

      20 goal contributions for Porto including top assister in the league last season in 27 games (15 starts / 12 as sub)
      Just turned 22 & a very technical left footed player who can play both wings or as a number 10.

      Looks like a great signing & totally out the blue as not one link prior to the deal breaking!

      apparently he's a Bernardo Silva type player who will likely play as an attacking 8 in a poor mans Man City style 433, Silva/KDB vs Viera/ESR, still ESR will be great value this year if that is the case, with Viera being one to monitor at the start

      He certainly should, impressed a lot last season just needs to stay fit, had a few issues that meant he missed a few weeks on a few occasions. I just wonder where Eze fits in exactly with Zaha and Olise around and if that will impact his minutes

        Olise and Eze will play a lot more this season.

        Last season was trying to get Eze going for this season after he suffered a serious Achilles injury right at the end of last season. That can take at least 6-9 months anyway,

        A good pre-season under his belt.

        It was interested how Gallagher tailed off at the end of the season. He was knackered

        I still have a feeling he may come back on loan, but we will see

        Sounds good. I need reliable starters as I'll have a weak bench. Marty isn't nailed and gets hoiked off early. Odegaard tends to play 90 mins. However, he had to drop deep when Partey was injured. I'm hoping Ode plays as a creative, attacking midfielder. I'll monitor pre-season to see how this new guy fits in. Maybe he'll be priced the same as Ode and Marty!

          why, 6 goals 5 assists last year was poor for a starting price of 7.5, that alone warrants a price drop, also there a general assumption that forwards price will be reduced across the board given how poor value most of them were last year, 6.5 for Jimmy would be fair imo

            Isn’t the definition of wishful thinking - saying 6.5 is a fair price but you would then buy him, which indicates that 6.5 is too cheap if he’s a easy buy?! Maybe 7m but won’t be any lower - £1m price drops are very rare, it’s normally only big price increases. Look at the likes of Sterling last season.

              no what i'm saying is is 6.5 is fair, who at 6.5 or less would you reasonably expect 6 goals 5 assists like Jim last season ? there would be quite a few actually, 7 to 7.5 and you're in the realm of the likes of Wilson, Ings, Watkins, Nketiah, or even worse for old Jim's prospects to make it into my team premium defenders, so 7 is too high but 6.5 gives me something to think about

                    Funnily enough I checked Alli since my comment as I thought he dropped a lot but that was very different as Alli went from always starting when fit to only starting 7 games all season and mostly being on the bench so the price drop reflected that he wasn’t a regular starter wherever Jiminez is still nailed and his teams top scorer

                      i mean this is what i'm saying, if Jim drops to 6.5 that will reflect he has not been the same player since his injury and may never be the same player again, and it will also reflect he only scored 6 times last season despite having pennos and he plays in a generally low scoring team, there will probably be a 5 or 5,5m player who scores more than that next season so 7 for Jim given all the facts of the last 2 seasons would be daylight robbery, but what do i know when the likes of Firmino is consistently priced at 9mil despite never being a good option

              there will be new premiums (such as Halland) who could outscore Salah though..

            How could they possibly not price him up? It’s nothing to do with his ownership - it’s to do with what he did that led to his ownership being what it was.

        Interesting going small at the back with 4 premium attack. My own style is to start off strong at the back and midfield with mediocre forwards. Rule changes and the top 2 sides adding new forwards may favour your approach.

    What do we think is a list of things that loads of fpl managers will convince themselves of only for its to immediate be undone, having convinced themselves of the same thing last year which was also proven wrong? Some suggestions:

    “I won’t wildcard until at least GW10”
    “There won’t be a template this season”
    “[Up until a day before GW1] I’m definitely going to start the season with Salah”
    “The brand new premium striker who has just been bought is absolute must have and I’ll tear up my squad to get them (this season Haaland)”
    “The Championship goal machine will definitely keep it up”
    “It’s ok to lock in GW2 and GW3 transfers I’m happy with the rest of my squad for those weeks (this year Kane to Haaland”
    “(A week before GW1) this squad is now locked on, no changes”

      Nah, I want Salah, Son & Haaland but also want a strong first 11. Will pick two of those 3 and just hope I’ve picked the right ones.

    This Fabio Vieira that Arsenal are probably signing, he has amazing stats, but how does he fit into their first team?! Surely he competes with Odegaard?

        Man city style I'd assume, Partey lone DM then two midfielders (Vieira and Odegaard) slightly ahead of him

        Something like

        Partey
        Odegaard Viera
        Saka Jesus Martinelli

            Was just being a bit provocative as I don't think Martinelli is nailed. As a fellow Brazilian, I think he's great, I really like him, but I don't think he's nailed. And I have read Vieira can play there, but I do agree with you and Mynameisq actually

                Martinelli definitely isn't nailed Esr will get plenty of game time and the midfield options in general are very versatile so there could be lots of changes in terms of team picked, formation and even positions of players

                  I mean yeah I agree he's not totally nailed & the rotation could get a bit much once UEL starts, but equally there's no reason to think he's not first choice AML & I wouldn't put anyone off the idea of starting with him

          Morning

          What sort of formation are you likely to go with to start the new season?

          I've been scribbling a few ideas down and like the look of a 4-3-3, with a 4.0m def and two 4.5m playing mids on the bench.

          Just interested to hear what others are thinking.

            I'm not sure we'll get such kind pricing this season, so a defence-heavy team may be the way to go (to start with at least).

            I'm going with 11 active outfield players (ie one non-playing keeper and one non-playing forward). That allows me a default 4-5-1 but when the fixtures fall right, a 5-4-1, 4-4-2 or 3-5-2.

            Without prices I lack the imagination to decide. The formation that gave weakest returns for me last season was 442 but probably still the starting point.

            With Salah and Haaland a must, you will probalby need to have 2x4.0 defense and 4,5 attack on bench, since it's easier to find 4,5 playable mid. So 3-5-2.

            Maybe too soon. I made up a draft based on Camzy's guesses. Now livefpl have their guesses on their team planner site and the prices are slightly kinder. All good fun until the real prices are out.
