FPL Fixtures: The Teams With The Easiest Run

FPL Fixtures: The Teams With The Easiest Run — 11 Oct

This is the GW7 edition, kept for the record. The always-current version lives at fantasyfootballiq.app/fpl-fixture-difficulty/.

The call — The map for the next six: Brighton own the high ground Plot the terrain for the coming six gameweeks and one route stands out: Brighton's. Crystal Palace at home first, then — after the detours to Anfield and the Etihad — Brentford at home, Hull away, Newcastle at home. Our model rates it a very kind run at both ends…

One squad, picked before a ball was kicked and run for five gameweeks on three transfers — no hits taken. Scored on FPL’s own results.

Your name and your FPL team name. That is all it takes, and we will have your answer before you have finished reading this sentence.

No FPL password, ever. We only read what FPL already publishes.

City's climate is nearly as good: Ipswich, Brighton and Fulham at home, and a very kind clean-sheet outlook. Haaland at £15.6m projects just under 50 over the six and roughly 7 in 10 managers already carry him — he's the toll you pay to travel at all. Gvardiol (£5.8m) is the sensible defensive route in.

Chelsea's attack has open road too — Everton away, then Spurs, United and Leeds at home around a Sunderland trip. João Pedro (£7.7m, about 7 in 10 own him) leads our order ahead of Rogers and Palmer; neither of the front two is fully nailed, which is the one loose stone on that path.

Newcastle are the value corner of the map: Hall at £5.3m, Wissa at £6.3m and Barnes at £6.1m are all nailed, all projected for solid returns, and Barnes is owned by fewer than 1 in 10 — a quiet pass most managers haven't spotted.

A word of caution on two tempting detours: Brentford and Arsenal both show favourable clean-sheet terrain but tough going for attackers. Kelleher (£5.0m) and Ajer (£4.5m) are honest budget routes; chasing Saka through Forest, Liverpool, Newcastle and City away is climbing into bad weather.

The call for the next six gameweeks: buy Groß at £6.0m as the headline move, with De Cuyper the defensive companion piece. If you're building cheaper, Barnes is the pass almost nobody is walking. Buy Groß now, before the first fixture of the window kicks off.
