Here’s my ranking of the next 6 fantasy premier league fixtures from game week 4 onwards plus in brackets how the next 6 fixtures will look like from GW5 GW6 and GW7 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)
Also when you buy and sell always look at actual fixtures as a common sense test.
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.

So from this schedule the most compelling teams to have players for short and long term fixtures are:
Fulham – Hughes Hangeland
Everton – Jagielka Fellaini, Pienaar, Jelavic
WBA – Ridgewell, Morrison
Tottenham – BAE, Bale
