Introduction
I’m still using 20/21 stats with adjustments where necessary for player transfers. That will continue until around GW6-10. I’m not making any huge adjustments on the basis of the few gameweeks so far.
The strength of the defence or attacking teams are based on the averages of their expected goals for/against and their actual goals for/against with a general adjustment for home and away. . The teams are then divided up into 5 colours of 8 home/away teams each. The rankings and colours are therefore purely factual so please don’t moan to me about the order.
Player values and PPMs are as of Thursday 23 September
A fixture ease schedule for attacking players
Here’s a graphic where the teams are ranked by the ease of the defences they face over the upcoming gameweeks. There’s attacking player suggestions below.
Attacking player stats from teams with the best fixtures
Here I’ve picked out the 4 teams with the best fixtures. They are Chelsea, Leeds, Leicester and Wolves
Chelsea
Chelsea’s good fixtures start GW7. It’s worth noting that no attacking mid has started all 5 games and that will continue
£11.6m Fwd Lukaku – 20/21 PPM n/a. 21/22 PPM 6.2
£7.4m Mid Mount – 20/21 PPM 4.1 21/22 PPM 3.8
£8.2m Mid Havertz – 20/21 PPM 3.4 21/22 PPM 3.4
Leeds
Both players below need their fitness checked for GW6
£8.0m Fwd Bamford – 20/21 PPM 5.1. 21/22 PPM 4.2
£6.5m Mid Raphinha – 20/21 PPM 4.4 21/22 PPM 4.0
Leicester
£10.4m Fwd Vardy – 20/21 PPM 5.5 21/22 PPM 5.8
Wolves
£7.5m Fwd Jimenez – 20/21 PPM 4.3. 21/22 PPM 1.6
£6.0m Mid Traore – 20/21 PPM 2.5 21/22 PPM 2.2
A fixture ease schedule for defenders and GKs
Here’s a graphic where the teams are ranked by the ease of the attacking teams they face over the upcoming gameweeks. There’s defender and GK suggestions below.
Defender and GK player stats
Here I’ve picked out the 4 teams with the best fixtures. They are Leeds, Chelsea, Southampton and Newcastle
Leeds
20/21 – 5th equal for clean sheets with 12. 14th ranked for goals conceded. 18th ranked xG conceded.
As I write this Ayling is an injury doubt
GK Meslier £5.0m – 20/21 PPM 4.4 21/22 PPM 2.4
Def Cooper £4.5m – 20/21 PPM 2.4 21/22 PPM 1.2
Chelsea
20/21 – 2nd equal ranked for clean sheets with 18. 2nd ranked for goals conceded. 2nd ranked xG conceded.
As I write this GK Mendy is an injury doubt. Both Alonso (although without a fully fit Chilwell) and Rudiger have started all 5 PL games although rotation will always be an issue
Def £5.6m Rudiger – 20/21 PPM 4.9 21/22 PPM 6.6
Def £5.8m Alonso – 20/21 PPM 4.4 21/22 PPM 7.6
Southampton
20/21 – 15th equal ranked for clean sheets with 9. 19th ranked for goals conceded. 14th ranked xG conceded.
GK McCarthy £5.0m – 20/21 PPM 3.1 21/22 PPM 3.6
Def Livramento £4.2m – 20/21 PPM na 21/22 PPM 3.0
Newcastle
20/21 – 18th equal ranked for clean sheets with 7. 16th ranked for goals conceded. 16th ranked xG conceded.
Should be ignored
