Introduction
This article consists of a schedule ranking forwardss based on their underlying stats over the season of the season. xG and xA per game are converted to FPL attacking points. Stats are from the excellent free site FBREF Players injured or suspended or with significant gametime risk are excluded from the schedule.
There’s also their FPL points per match as well as their value for money rating. The higher the better. Above 10 is the gold standard
The rankings are purely mathematical and there is no adjustment for fixtures coming up or the amount of additional games or blanks. The attacking players fixture ease schedule is below
Prices and stats are as of the 28th January
The Patreon version of the article has Joe’s Transfer Planner and Points Prediction Models highest scoring forwards over the next 5 gameweeks
The ranking schedule
As I said above the rankings are based on their xG and xA per game converted to FPL attacking points
There is no adjustment to a players rank for fixtures upcoming or blanks or potential doubles. See transfer suggestions below for the best players to transfer in from the schedule
Transfer suggestions for GW24
The fundamentals of looking for players that have a good entry point fixture as well as a good overall fixture ranking in the upcoming 6 gameweeks plus represent overall value for money and consistency of performances are what I’m looking for. The suggestions are not in any particular order
However forwards are pretty thin on the ground at the moment so there’s only a few transfers I’d be suggesting .
Calvert-Lewin
6 games and 3 goals with the last 3 games being blanks after a big injury break doesn’t sound too appealing but in only 1 game of the 6 played has he not produced decent underlying stats.
3 good fixtures next including the entry point fixture against Newcastle in GW24. After that it’s Leeds and Southampton before things get trickier. Assuming Lampard does join Everton that should improve the attacking prospects of him and the team. Should also have penalty duties.
Kane
4 goals and an assist in his last 6 PL games sees the old Kane back. Were also seeing high volume shooting and reasonably consistent quality underlying stats return. Good entry point v Southampton but after that the fixtures are trickier.
3 postponed fixtures means good double gameweek prospects
Ronaldo
Last 3 appearances have been abysmal but can still turn it on against the weaker teams as we saw against Burnley and Norwich. Underlying stats are very hit and miss but ok if you’re planning on captaining him.
Really though it’s all about DGW25 when he has games against Southampton and Brighton at home
Watkins
1 goal and 1 assist in his last 6 games and pretty woeful and inconsistent underlying stats to go with it.
This is purely a fixture punt with Leeds, Newcastle and Watford next plus the prospect of 2 postponed games against Burnley and Leeds becoming part of potential future doubles
The fixture Ease schedule
Here you can see each players upcoming fixtures over the next 6 gameweeks
