Here’s my ranking of the ease of each clubs next 6 fantasy premier league fixtures from game week 17 onwards plus in the next columns how the next 6 fixtures will look like from GW18 and GW19. Now you can see the fantasy premier league trends in fixtures coming up.
I’ve also included “captain planning” for the weeks ahead and The “don’t sell this team” part which follows my rule that you should never sell a player from a team which has an easy game next (obviously injury permitting)
Also when you buy and sell always look at actual fixtures as a common sense test. A team may be ranked low on the fixture ease schedule because the last 4 of the 6 are hard but the next 2 could be Southampton and Reading so don’t sell at this point.
Fixture ease rank and trending

| 19 | Newcastle (Man C A) | 10 | 15 | |
| 20 | Wigan (Nor A ) | 17 | 16 | |
So from this schedule the most compelling teams to have players for short and long term fixtures are:
Tottenham – Bale when fit, Defoe and Caulker
Man Utd – RVP
WBA – Morrison
Liverpool – Suarez Johnson Sterling
West Ham – Demel Nolan
Captain planning
