Here’s my ranking of the next 6 fantasy premier league fixtures from game week 3 onwards plus in brackets how the next 6 fixtures will look like from GW4 GW5 and GW6 so you can see the fantasy premier league trends in fixtures coming up. I’ve added the link to the post before at the bottom of this post this so you can get a full explanation of how it works. in addition you can see:
1. The next fantasy premier league fixture
2. The “don’t sell this team” which follows my rule that you should never sell a player from a team which has an easy game next (obviously injury permitting)
REMEMBER GW3 CHELSEA & READING DONT PLAY SO YOU DONT WANT MORE THAN 3 OF THESE PLAYERS FOR YOUR BENCH. THIS MAY DICTATE YOUR TRANSFER STRATEGY
Also when you buy and sell always look at actual fixtures as a common sense test. Man U’s next 2 fixtures aren’t obvious from this schedule as its 2 easy then 3 difficult.
By the way, in my mind there isn’t enough data for this fantasy premier league season yet to integrate this season in to the analysis. I’m not planning on doing this until after GW5 at the moment.
Fixture ease rank and trending
GW3 fixture ease GW4 – Nxt 6 GW5 nxt 6 GW6 nxt 6
1. Swansea (Sunderland H) 7 15 10
2. West Ham (Fulham H) 2 11 15
3. Fulham (West Ham A) 1 1 11
4 Everton (West Brom A) 4 4 1
5 WBA (Everton H) 9 2 4

18 Reading 16 12 5
19 Norwich (Spurs A) 16 16 14
20 Stoke ( Wigan A ) 20 18 13
So from this schedule the most compelling teams to have players for short and long term fixtures are:
Fulham – Hughes Hangeland Ruiz Petric
Everton – Hibbert Jagielka Fellaini, Pienaar, Jelavic
WBA – Ridgewell, Morrison
Tottenham – BAE, Bale
