Teams with the best fixtures
Here’s the teams with the best fixtures from one of my FPL articles. It’s principllay from an attacking point of view but can be used from a defensive view point as well.
The teams are ranked according to the best fixtures in the first 3 premier league gameweeks and then the first 6 premier league gameweeks. The next column shows what European competitions come up
It should be noted that the premier league teams without European games will join the Caraboa Cup (the League Cup) in GW2 and those with European games in GW3. I won’t be highlighting these fixtures
