The final part of our fixture analysis guide examines the remaining eleven teams who are set to represent the budget end of the player market. Favourable runs of fixtures will be vital to their potential of Fantasy profit and our Members guide looks to isolate these gameweek windows, ultimately offering recommendations on when and how to invest in the low-mid-price market. …

Thinking along the lines of:
Carson Foster(Villa)
Baines Luiz Kolarov Walker Shawcross
Malouda Taarabt Larsson Hunt Downing
RVP Tevez SuarezOpen Controls
Morning all,
Will Walker still be at AV this year? And Kolorov? Really? Once Mancini dropped him towards end of last season, they didn't lose a game.....I reckon he's bench fodder this year.
Just an aside, but when, if ever do you sleep Flynny?Open ControlsNever on the firm's time. 🙂
Open ControlsThanks for the Walker thought Icon, I had him for U21s and hadn't given him a second thought for FPL,if he's anywhere near £4mil certainly makes a good,cheap fifth defender.
Open ControlsLol, night shifty?
Re. Walker, I just thought he'd returned to Tot after loan, but I could be wrong. If he has though, doubt he'd be a nailed on starter, as good a player as he looksOpen ControlsI doubt Walker will even be 4.5m irrespective of where he finds him.
Prob 5mill i would say.Open Controls£4 last year,we might just get away with £4.5 if FPL Towers just look at the scores. Fingers crossed mate.

Aston Villa have signed Tottenham defender Kyle Walker on loan until the end of the season.
Article dated Jan 2011.
On 9 june 2011, THE SUN(!) reported he is back off on loan to QPR.
Who knows...Open ControlsAaarrghh!! Panic back on.
Open ControlsNot really, better chance of him being 4.5 at QPR i think. If you want villa def cover look at Clark. Spurs have tough games to start off with anyway so i'd say stay clear if Walker ends up with Spurs.
Open ControlsTrue,I don't see him as first choice at Spurs,and QPR have a decent start.
Open Controls
Morning Teddy, I'd swerve Lolarov too,and would have O'Hara rather than Hunt. Otherwise it looks a good solid shout (If Tevez is still with us).
Open ControlsAs far as I know Carson is being sold to a turkish club. Downing prob on his way to Livpool, i'd rather go with Albrighton. It frees up some cash.
Will Luiz be first choice? Talk is of Contrao going to chelsea. I'd go with a Chelsea striker or Bent for the first 3 games instead of RVP.
Sinclair(if midfielder) instead of Larsson.
Early days though.Open ControlsReply for Tedster....
Open Controls
Ultra ubercheap g/ks
Ubercheap defence
Semi-ubercheap midpark
Amazingly expensive forward line i.e. Bent, RVP and Tevez.
That's how it's shaping up folks 😯Open ControlsTry not to be too specific at this time of the year Jafalad. 🙂
Open ControlsHa. I'll try 'n be a little more generic next time 😀
Speaking of generic matters, we need a generic table for the RMTers when they hit these parts.Open ControlsI don't mind RMTs,but when twenty people all ask the same him or him question in ten minutes and I get we're very busy at the moment blocks, it's a bit irksome.
Open Controls
I don't agree with the Blues Super 15 Champions 2011 bit.
😉Open ControlsPut some prices to your defence/midpark.
That strike force will probably cost 9.5/11/12. Are you investing the balance in a moneymarket account?
Suarez/Chelsea striker for me instead of RVP.Open ControlsGoalies = 8 mill
Defs = 22.5
Mids = 35.5
Fwds = 34
Think that adds up to a 100. No room for Baines though 🙁Open Controls2 x 4mill keepers?
😯
Really?
You think those 3 strikers will be 34Mill?Open ControlsI'm looking at the Swansea and QPR goalies at 4 mill each but after a rethink, they could well be 4.5ers. I'm not sure what the promoted sides start at tbh.
RVP 12 mill; Tevez 11.5 and Bent 10.5. Being at VILLA keeps Bent's price down.Open Controls
That's rubbish, that is! 😉
Open ControlsAV/Stoke
Vidic, Baines, Bramble/Baird, Gorkss/Connolly, Kelly
Albrighton, Osman/Arteta/Henderson/Downing, Malouda/Kalou, Yaya Toure, Larsson/Gardner/Davies

Gorkss-who is that???

Open ControlsThere you go! 😆

If Everton start slowly this year, they will be fecked. Gorkss/Connolly - QPR. Poor scouting! 😉 Sinclair WILL be a forward. Taarabt - we'll see if he's still there ...
If I can afford Lescott/Richards, and it looks as if they will play, either may come in ...Open Controls
Amongst others, be wary of Kelly, as it stands id imagine our back 4 will be:
Kelly Carra Skrtel/Agger Johnson
But if we sign a LB, Kelly will probably be dropped:
Johnson Carra Skrtel/Agger ???Open ControlsTrue; my buttocks are clenched as we type - will mean rethink! 🙁
Open Controls
From my crude calculations, the best 5 rotating keeper or defender combos are:
New/Sun QPR/Swa WBA/Wol Ast/Sto Bla/Nor
I think the first 4 teams will be in a relegation battle this season, Wolves don't fill me with much confidence so I may go with MMW combo of Ast/Sto if I decide to go down that route...Open ControlsAre you taking cost in consideration for the keepers though? Villa/Stoke might be "expensive".
Open Controls-ish ...
Open Controls
Might get a Wolves defender with their nice fixtures in the opening weeks-any suggestions?
Open ControlsAre you mad? Wolves have the second worst first three fixtures after Bolton, imo ... 😯
Open Controlsblk,FUL,villa. Not sure about that M M W 😕
Open ControlsI am - as you will be, when you understand what you have received ... 😉
Open Controls
gw 4-11 looks ok-ish. But not so sure about a def though.
Open Controls
Don't forget ARS/TOT ...
Open ControlsI forgot to say I excluded any combos involving any of last seasons top 6. U dont wanna be rotating them really! 😉
Open Controls
I'm currently in the process of doing a nice little spreadsheet with al the decent pairings. will post it later on today.
Open ControlsThat would be tremendous! 😀
Open Controlsaaah...sweet.
xOpen ControlsAston villa and Arsenal rotate pretty well all season. The only gameweeks they don't rotate are: 10, 11, 12, 27, 36, 37, 38
In those gameweeks Ars, Che, Eve,Mcy, Nor, Stk, Sun, Swa, Tot, Wba and WigOpen ControlsEDIT:
In those gameweeks Ars rotate with any of te following: Che, Eve,Mcy, Nor, Stk, Sun, Swa, Tot, Wba and Wig.
Also missed out GW1 when Ars and Avl don't rotate.Open Controls
These combos I have only looked at upto Jan WC time.
Open ControlsGood enough!!! 😀
Open ControlsIm doing it for the season, anything can change anyway, games cancelled etc. I'm aiming to have a pair of keepers that rotate for the season and 4 defs that rotate well and play baines each week.
This way i can concentrate on the midield and forwards through out the season and only have to tinker with the back occasionally.Open ControlsWhat is paved with good intentions ... ? 😉
Open Controls
A slight note of caution. Rotation works very well as long as you remember to bench your sunderland players when away to Chelsea or Arsenal. 😉

all u should know at this stage (if your sad like me)
is when you plan to wildcard
which defensive rotations you like (if any)
who are the 3-4 must-haves
how you will fit in a certain teams players after a few weeks due to their (arsenals) dodgy startOpen Controls
tevez price wont go down after he was highest scoring striker (i think)
you are being very optimistic in hoping bent silva nasri huth hangelaand bardsley and the keepers all drop or stay the same price after good seasons
id say that lot will be the wrong side of 105mOpen Controls
Goose/MMW/Jafster/Flynmaster - I just finished my ticker up to gw11.
ManU have a tough start fixture wise. I really can't see myself wanting to have Rooney in the first 10 weeks other than in gw 7.
Villa(Bent) and Livpool(Suarez) have decent fixtures to start off. Although villa often seem to struggle against wolves(gw 3) if Im not mistaken.
Not sure who villa will have between the sticks, but he might be my keepr week in week out. I've had(and benched!) bent before and learned my lesson the hard way, so If I have him he needs to start. Soemone posted that Mcleish tends to play defensively so maybe Bent is not the way to go. Albrighton maybe? Will be cheaper and can be benched.
Just throwing some ideas up in the air. Thoughts? ideas?Open ControlsCan I ask, why are people making tickers when there's one on the site?
Bent - Give him chances and he'll get goals, but I don't like McLeish's style of play. They've lost Young and if they lose Downing too that's two big assist-makers for Bent gone.
Given the start Villa have I'd like him in, but those things are going to put me off a bit. (And I'll want RVP, Tevez, Suarez, etc. etc.)
Albrighton - Should be cheap, and guaranteed starts with Young (and possibly Downing) gone.Open ControlsI always do a ticker - and I don't always agree with the fixture rating, even after fiddling.
Open ControlsI fiddle with my ticker (oo-er) in excel, and unfortunately the one on the site doesn't copy into excel easily, so I've had to create my own.
Open Controls+1
And it's better than doing work.
😀Open ControlsHey-diddle-diddle!!! 😀

i posted last week that after gwk11 is when i will wildcard due to a big swing in fixtures for a number of clubs
also from gwk12 blackburn/stoke have perfect rotation for a long time, not just home games but easy home games
up until gwk11 i dont see any great rotation involving teams i fancy defensively and that are likely to be cheap (stoke blackburn sunderland fulham etc)Open ControlsI don't agree with your assessment of MUN's start, for a start ... 🙂
Open Controlsreally? im staying clear of utd players until gwk11
Open ControlsSuit yourself. For me, it's not enough to see Tot and Ars looming - it's what that means. In my opinion, Mun are an admittedly distant second behind Chelsea over the first three, but the best over the first seven ... 🙂
Open Controlsbut why do u need utd players for the first 7 why not go chelsea for 1-3 then arsenal 4-7
every year people seem to get too carried away with having the best players from the start regardless of fixtures
im sure i'll have rvp and rooney as my strikers for teh majority of the season but i wont have them in my initial teamOpen ControlsWell, the only Mun player that is sure for me at the moment is Vidic - until we can get a handle on how the team is. I'm just saying that when you look at the bare facts of last season, the fixtures look a little different. United were impregnable at home, and their home goal difference was huge, +37.
They have bought well, without disturbing the team basis so far, so that may even improve ...Open Controlstrue, i would just expect the chelsea and arsenal players to score more over certain games in teh first 11 than the utd lot will even if they do start well as i dont see many hammerings on the horizon until their fixtures get better
Open ControlsMaybe. I don't really like the look of Arsenal's first three - and their team is, as usual, being disrupted by the usual crap. I would like Liverpool players, but don't trust Dalglish - and they seem to be acquiring even more midfielders than United!!! I will have Chelsea, for sure - but who? Big gambles there ... 🙁
Open Controls
I see those 2 teams AND livpool,City and Everton looming....in the first 11 weeks.
Open ControlsLiverpool and Everton the only away fixtures - which I can see United winning ...
Open ControlsLet's not confuse fpl with the real thing. I'm not saying ManU will lose any of those games, just that fantasywize the fixture do look tough.
Open Controls
You think that's a good idea? The problem really is...even if you wanted to pick players...who do you pick other than Rooney or Vidic/Evra...which seem so boring (in terms of selection)...
Open ControlsDoh...took too long to reply and this convo is way ahead of my previous comment...please ignore...
Open ControlsNot Evra, at the moment, anyway ...
