FPL Fixtures: The Teams With The Easiest Run — 19 Sep
The call — The map for the next six gameweeks, and the routes worth taking Chart Brighton's terrain over the next six gameweeks and one route stands out: SUN (A), CRY (H), LIV (A), MCI (A), BRE (H), HUL (A). Anfield and the Etihad are steep passes in the middle, but everything either side is gentle ground — and our model rates this…
The pick from that route is De Cuyper (£4.9m, owned by roughly 2–3 in 10). A nailed defender at that price on a run this friendly is exactly the sort of position you take up early and hold. Our projections have him among the very best defensive routes over the window, and Brighton's clean-sheet climate is as good as anyone's. Groß (£5.7m, ~2 in 10) is the midfield companion — usually good for a steady 5–6 with the odd bigger week — and Verbruggen (£4.5m) is the budget keeper answer. The caveat is honest: two of the six fixtures are genuinely hard, so expect a dip mid-route.
Newcastle's path is nearly as smooth for attackers: COV (A), AVL (H), CRY (A), EVE (H), FUL (A) before Arsenal arrive. Wissa (£6.2m, ~2 in 10) leads that route, with Hall (£5.2m) the defensive cover and Barnes (£6.1m) the road less travelled — barely anyone owns him, well under 1 in 10, and he can go big on his day.
City's climate is quieter than the crowd assumes. Haaland (£15.6m, ~7 in 10) remains the safe high ground — you hold him, you don't sell him — but the kinder story is defensive: Gvardiol and Guéhi profit from a very tight-looking six weeks at the back. Leeds offer the same shape cheaper: Bogle (£4.6m, barely 1 in 20 own him) projects strongly for the price despite Arsenal and Chelsea bookending the run.
One dead end to mark: Brentford's clean-sheet weather looks good, but none of Kelleher, Schade or Thiago is fully nailed, and the attacking terrain is rough. Detour around them for now.
The call for the next six gameweeks: buy De Cuyper. He's the cheapest reliable path through the kindest climate on the map, and if you've a second move, Wissa is the attacking route to pair him with. Take the high ground before everyone else reads the map.
