FPL Fixtures: The Teams With The Easiest Run — 12 Sep

The call — The kindest terrain on the map right now runs through Tyneside — Newcastle face Leeds, Hull, Coventry, Villa, Palace and Everton over the next six gameweeks, and not one of those looks like a dead end at either end of the pitch.

The write-up

Our projections like that route for goals and clean sheets alike, and the pick of it is Lewis Hall at £5.1m. He's projected for roughly 33 points across the window, only about 1 in 10 managers own him, and Newcastle's clean-sheet potential over LEE (A), HUL (H), COV (A), AVL (H), CRY (A), EVE (H) is as good as anyone's. Wissa (£6.2m, ~2 in 10) is the forward route into the same run, good for around 32 points, while Thiaw at £5.0m is the near-unowned pass — hardly anyone has him and he's nailed.

City's climate is favourable too, though the road starts with MUN (A) and takes in LIV (A) in the middle. Haaland remains the high ground — around 39 projected points, the best single number on this map — but roughly 7 in 10 already own him, so he's the template, not the discovery. Guéhi (£6.0m) is the quieter City route; Cherki, note, is not assured of starts.

Chelsea's terrain splits: very kind for attackers, rough for the back line. HUL (H), BRE (A), BOU (H), EVE (A) is a lovely stretch for Rogers (£7.6m, ~3 in 10, projected near 40 points — the best-value pass in this whole piece) and Palmer, less so for defenders. João Pedro is fine but nearly 3 in 4 squads already carry him.

Brighton and Leeds are clean-sheet plays rather than attacking ones. De Cuyper (£4.8m) and Groß are the Brighton routes; Trafford at £5.0m and Muharemović at £5.0m are the Leeds enablers — the clean-sheet outlook at Elland Road is very kind even while the attacking run is a slog, so I'd steer clear of Calvert-Lewin for now. Bournemouth's Tavernier (£6.0m, ~1 in 30 own him, projected around 33 points) is the map's best-hidden path if you want a genuine differential.

The call for the next six gameweeks: buy Hall as the priority, with Rogers the attacking move if funds allow. Both are routes almost nobody else is walking, and the terrain says they pay.

Newcastle on the show

Newcastle 0-1 Aston Villa. Manzambi scored the only goal from a Joao Gomes assist and took the max bonus for 11 FPL points. It was Villa's first clean sheet since Gameweek 3: Lindelöf got 9 with his defensive contribution and Suzuki 8. FPL Brains says Manzambi is a buy if he's fit. He has returned in all three of his starts, 29 points, but FPL has him at 75% with a calf knock, so wait for the team news before Man City at home. FPL Risky's punt is Lindelöf: 4.5m, seven starts from seven, 18.9 projected over the next six and almost nobody owns him.
