Here’s my ranking of the next 6 fantasy premier league fixtures from game week 16 onwards plus in the next columns how the next 6 fixtures will look like from GW17 and GW18. Now you can see the fantasy premier league trends in fixtures coming up.
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.
Fixture ease rank and trending

18 | Newcastle (Fulham A) | 17 | 8 | |
19 | Stoke (Villa A) | 20 | 17 | |
20 | Villa (Stoke H ) | 11 | 6 |
So from this schedule the most compelling teams to have players for short and long term fixtures are:
Man Utd – RVP Evans
Liverpool – Suarez Johnson Sterling Enrique
Arsenal – Cazorla Giroud Gibbs/Sagna
Fulham – Berba
Spurs – Defoe
Captain planning
However having players to fill the captain slots is also important. Here’s the fixtures that will probably make up our captain choice. Obviously at the moment this ignores RVP who could get the armband permanently

Arsenal v WBA
Round 17
Liverpool v Villa
Man U v Sunderland
