Here’s our FPL best fixtures GW35 article with our fixture ease schedules. Here we look at the teams and players with the best fixtures from an attacking players and a defensive players perspective over the next 4 gameweeks.
FPL best fixtures GW35 – a fixture ease schedule for attacking players and defensive players
Methodology
This article was written before the Wednesday and Thursday fixtures of GW34+
The idea is to have 2 fixture ease schedules as teams don’t have the same quality of defence as they do attack. Take Crystal Palace for instance. Good defence but poor attack.
One schedule 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 and made a general adjustment for home and away which has been significantly reduced for closed door games.
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 8 July
A fixture ease schedule for attacking players
Here’s a graphic where the teams are ranked by the ease of the defences they face over the next 4 gameweeks. There’s attacking player suggestions below.
Attacking player stats
Here I’ve picked out the 5 teams with the best fixtures. They are Man City, West Ham, Man Utd, Everton and A Villa
PPM is their 19/20 points per match
Manchester City
£10.8m Mid De Bruyne – PPM 7.0 (Should have pens)
£8.6m Mid Mahrez – PPM 5.4
£5.4m Mid Foden – PPM 3.0
£9.6m Fwd Jesus – PPM 3.7
£11.7m Mid Sterling – PPM 5.2
West Ham
£6.9m Mid Antonio – PPM 3.5
£6.4m Mid Bowen – PPM 3.9
Man Utd
£8.9m Mid Fernandes – PPM 8.9
£9.1m Fwd Rashford – PPM 5.9
£8.3m Mid Martial – PPM 6.0
£4.6m Fwd Greenwood – PPM 3.1
Penalty duties have been confused by Rashford taking 1 against Bournemouth. Before that it appeared Fernandes was the sole taker.
Everton
£6.3m Fwd Calvert Lewin – PPM 3.8
£8.2m Mid Richarlison – PPM 4.7
Aston Villa
£6.0m Mid Grealish – PPM 4.1
A fixture ease schedule for defensive players

Defensive player stats
Here I’ve picked out the 5 teams with the best fixtures. They are Man City, West Ham, Everton, Aston Villa and Spurs
PPM is their 19/20 points per match
Man City
£6.0m GK Ederson – PPM 3.5
£4.5m Def Garcia – PPM 2.8
Garcia won’t play every game but the price mitigates the risk
West Ham
No one
Everton
£4.4m Def Holgate – PPM 2.7 (injury needs checking)
Aston Villa
No one
Spurs
£5.1m Def Aurier – PPM 3.8
£5.3m GK Lloris– PPM 4.6
