Here’s my ranking of the ease of each clubs next fantasy premier league fixtures from game week 36 onwards
Its worth noting that the schedule is more for the attacking ease as its difficult to cater for both goal potential and clean sheets in all cases. For example playing Man Utd when your team is at home you do have a good chance of scoring so from an attacking perspective its not a bad game but from a clean sheet perspective its a nightmare you virtually no chance of a clean sheet.
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.

So from this schedule the most compelling teams to have players for short and long term fixtures are firstly the GW36double gameweekers:
Man City Aguero Tevez Nasri Clichy
Wigan Kone Maloney Boyce
Spurs Bale Dawson
Swansea Michu
Chelsea Cech Azpilicueta Hazard Mata
WBA Lukaku Dorrans
West Ham – Demel Nolan Carrol
Norwich – Snodgrass
Captain planning and worst defence monitor
However having players to fill the captain slots is also important. Here’s the fixtures that will probably make up our captain choice. The three juiciest opponents at the moment are away games for Aston Villa QPR and Reading and I’ve highlighted these as options where appropriate for players to think about
Round 36
Spurs DGW – Bale
Man City DGW – Aguero Tevez
Round 37
Aston Villa v Chelsea – Hazard
Man U v Swansea – RVP
Reading v Man City – Aguero
Round 38
Liverpool v QPR – Sturridge
Man City v Norwich – Aguero
Spurs v Sunderland – Bale
West Ham v Reading – Carroll
