Important note before going further
The first schedule ranks players by their NON penalty underlying stats and expected assists converted to FPL points in GW1-24 . Those who have taken penalties or are expected to be the penalty taker have an * next to their name
The form gives their ranking from the season/last 10 gameweeks/ last 5 gameweeks. I’ve put them in seperate columns so they are sortable
There’s no fixture ease ranking due to the changes in DGW26. I do say whether they have a potential DGW BGW. As I write this the fixtures have yet to be announced.
The value for money VFM ratio is the total expected points from their underlying stats divided by their price
The 2nd schedule shows their xG90 (expected goals) and xA90 (expected assists) plus their shots per 90 and key passes per 90 and their average minutes played (when they appear) over the season.
There’s also anytime goalscorer odds.
I’ve already posted the defender rankings and you can see GW19 attacking defender rankings
Player values and PPMs are as of Thursday 18 February .

A few comments
Players not in the schedule
Their rankings are in brackets
Players not in the schedule due to injury are:
Zaha (10)
Players not in there due to gametime risk:
Trezeguet (18), Pulisic (27), Torres (28)
A few players who IMPROVED significantly in the last 10 gameweeks compared to the season overall
Aubameyang (11 to 2), Gundogan (9 to 3) , Maddison (30 to 15), Bernado Silva ( 29 to 16) and Harvey Barnes (20 to 13)
A few players who WORSENED significantly in the last 10 gameweeks compared to the season overall
James Rodriguez (21 to 78), Grealish (4 to 11), Mahrez (13 to 32), Rashford (12 to 20)
I will use the rankings to make an imaginary wildcard article today sometime on the FFGeek Patreon site
Potential DGW26
No fixture postponements from GW29 have been announced yet into other gameweeks but here are some potential doubles in DGW26
Nothing is guaranteed. This is just dot joining
These are not guaranteed but potential fixtures hopefully announced before the DGW25 deadline on Friday 18.30 UK time
-MCI ( Wham H, Wolvs H or Sou H)
-AST (Leeds A, Eve H)
-TOT (Bur h, Ful A)
-EVE ( Sou H, Villa A)
-BUR (Tot A, Lei H)
-MUN (Chel A, CPal A)
-PAL (Ful H, Man U H)
-LEI (Ars H, Burn A)
-LIV (Sheff A, Chel H)
-CHE (ManU H, Liv A)
That would still leave Villa v Sheffield, Spurs v Southampton, WBA v Everton and Man City v Southampton to be rearranged. There could be some interchanges with the above there just to confuse matters. Man City have no Euro game in GW27 and likely to have a fixture there
