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 1 gameweek.
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 19 August
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 until the end of the season. There’s attacking player suggestions below.
Attacking player stats from teams with the best fixtures
Here I’ve picked out the 5 teams with the best fixtures. They are West Ham, Wolves, Brighton, Man Utd and Watford
West Ham
£7.6m Fwd Antonio – 20/21 PPM 4.6. 21/22 PPM 13.0
£6.0m Mid Soucek – 20/21 PPM 3.8 21/22 PPM 8.0
£6.1m Mid Benrahma – 20/21 PPM 2.2 21/22 12.0
£6.0m Mid Fornals – 20/21 PPM 3.8 21/22 PPM 5.0
Wolves
Wait until GW4.
Brighton
£6.5m Fwd Maupay – 20/21 PPM 3.2. 21/22 PPM 5.0
Man Utd
£12.1m Mid Fernandes – 20/21 PPM 6.6 21/22 PPM 20.0
£7.5m Mid Greenwood – 20/21 PPM 3.4 21/22 PPM 8.0
£7.6m Mid Pogba – 20/21 PPM 3.5 21/22 PPM 16.0
£9.5m Mid Sancho – 21/22 PPM 1.0
Have not included Cavani until fit
Watford
Again I would possibly wait until GW5
£5.0m Fwd Dennis – 21/22 PPM 12.0 (if fit)
£6.0m Mid Sarr – 21/22 PPM 9.0
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 until the end of the season. There’s defender and GK suggestions below.
Defender and GK player stats
Here I’ve picked out the 5 teams with the best fixtures. They are Brighton, Spurs, Wolves, Leeds and Man Utd
Brighton
20/21 – 5th equal for clean sheets with 12. 7th equal goals conceded. 3rd ranked xG conceded.
Def Dunk £5.0m – 20/21 PPM 3.9 21/22 PPM 2.0
Def Webster £4.5m – 20/21 PPM 2.9 21/22 PPM 2.0
GK Sanchez £4.5m – 20/21 PPM 3.7 21/22 PPM 2.0
I like £4.5m Veltman as the most attacking option but needs to be declared fit
Spurs
20/21 – 5th equal for clean sheets with 12. 6th ranked goals conceded. 11th ranked xG conceded
Def Reguilon £5.0m – 20/21 PPM 3.3 21/22 PPM 7.0
GK Lloris £5.5m – 20/21 PPM 3.9 21/22 PPM 10.0
I have not included £4.5m Dier or Sanchez due to the signing of £5.0m Romero or £4.5m Tanganga as I’m not certain how much he was played v Man City for his defensive skills over the more attacking Doherty or Aurier
Wolves
20/21 – 14th for clean sheets with 10. 12th ranked goals conceded. 10th ranked xG conceded
Def Marcal £4.5m – 20/21 PPM ? 21/22 PPM 1.0
GK Sa £5.0m – 21/22 PPM 3.0
I’m not sure £4.0m Hoever started on merit or because Semedo had been in isolation. Needs monitoring
Leeds
20/21 – 5th equal for clean sheets with 12. 14th ranked goals conceded. 18th ranked xG conceded
Def Ayling £4.5m – 20/21 PPM 2.6 21/22 PPM 6.0
GK Meslier £5.0m – 20/21 PPM 4.4 21/22 PPM 1.0
Man Utd
20/21 – 4th for clean sheets with 13. 5th ranked goals conceded. 4th ranked xG conceded
Def Shaw £5.5m – 20/21 PPM 3.9 21/22 PPM 1.0
Not included a GK as uncertain on return date for Henderson
