fantasy premier league – fixture ease schedule – GW1

fixture ease schedule

 Here’s my first fixture ease schedule for the 2013/14 fantasy premier league season.  

In very simple terms the table ranks the next 6 fixtures in terms of “easiness”.  The team at 1 in the table will have the 6 easiest fixtures and the team at 20 the 6 hardest fixtures.  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.  Ease is determined by the rank of the defence the team will be facing.  See my article “rating the defences”  (in the fixture ease category)  where I rate in order each teams home and away defence   

I’ve then done the table again for GW2 and GW3 so you get a slightly longer perspective

 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 Crystal Palace and Aston Villa so don’t sell at this point.

 Its an interesting start, here are some of the teams and players to consider who have good fixtures to start and longevity if they end up in your team for longer than originally thought.  Remember its July 8 though way too early to be making decisions

Man City:  Aguero or Silva

Arsenal:  Walcott or a Striker TBA

Tottenham:  Bale

Liverpool:  Suarez (if still there) Sturridge Coutinho

Newcastle:  No one at the moment in my view
