Essentially the team ranked 1 will have the best fixtures and the team ranked 20 will have the hardest fixtures.

Column 1 will focus on the attacking ease of the next 6 fixtures.  That gives a rough time frame to look at as you never now how long it will be before you can get someone out of your team.  However for a shorter perspective we’ve ranked the next 3 in column 2.

Below the table I’ve concentrated on the teams with the best 6 and 3 fixtures for the fixture based players to be part of your team.  I’ve outlined the next fixtures as well as some stats.  The stats being Minutes per FPL point.  Then the consistency rate.  Ie the % of games that a goal or assist is acheived.

Additionally although this is meant for attacking returns it’s not a bad proxy for defensive ones so for the first time I’ve made some defensive suggestions

Teams with the next best 6 and 3 fixtures

Manchester City

Aguero (3 games 1 goal 0 assists)   – FPL point every 11.7 minutes in 14/15.   22 returns in 33 games 67% consistency in 14/15

Defenders:  Kompany at £6.3m is the safe gametime pick.  Kolarov at £5.6m has great attacking potential but is rotatable with Clichy.  Sagna at £5.0m has the RB spot at the moment but was 2nd choice last season

Next 6 fixtures:

Watford (H)
Crystal Palace (A)

LB Gomez at £4.7m is the cheapie gamble.  Lovren at £5.0m is the next cheapest but wasn’t gametime secure last secure last season.  Clyne and Skrtel are the safest picks at £5.5m and both have attacking potential in different ways
