Important notes before reading
This article was written before the Leicester v Aston Villa game and the Man City v Arsenal game.
The article only looks 3 games ahead because of the uncertainty over the fixtures in GW34 due to the uncertain future location of the GW31 postponements
Methodology
The idea is to have 2 fixture ease schedules as teams don’t have the same quality of defence as they do attack. Take Arsenal for instance. One will rank the teams by the ease of the opposition defences they face over the upcoming games. That will be called the attackers fixture ease schedule. The 2nd will rank the teams by the ease of the attacking teams they face. This will be called the defenders fixture ease schedule.
I’ve taken the overall picture of an average of actual goals and expected goals from 26 games and made a general adjustment for home and away. This will be less volatile than basing a defence or attack on separate games home or away.
I have a fixture graphic below which I’ve colour coded for difficulty. It is just to improve the visual aspect of the schedule and the factors I’ve talked about above, rather than the just the colours, are basis for calculation.
Player values are as at Sunday 8 March
Blanks and doubles
There are only 4 fixtures in GW31 due to the ficture clash with the FA Cup quarters
The postponed 6 games plus the 1 GW28 fixture yet to be alloacted a slot are likely to go to GW34 and GW37. My scenario planning article for an article about how things could work.
