As Fantasy Premier League managers, we're always searching for teams with favourable fixture runs. Over the next four gameweeks, Aston Villa, Brighton, and Chelsea stand out as top choices for attacking potential, as highlighted in the Fixture Planner tool.
Each team has an exciting line-up of matches, offering a great chance to rack up FPL points. Let’s dive into their upcoming fixtures and spotlight players with strong points potential.
Aston Villa's upcoming fixtures look ripe for FPL returns. They face Crystal Palace (H), Chelsea (A), Brentford (H), and Southampton (H) in their next four matches.
Ollie Watkins is leading Villa’s line with consistent form, accumulating 55 points this season. His tally of 5 goals and 2 assists only hints at his potential, given his xG of 7.06, suggesting he’s been unlucky not to score more.
Only Haaland (14) has had more 'big chances' than Watkins’ 14, with 25 shots in the box as the Opta shot map shows, he’s a constant threat in the penalty area.
Morgan Rogers has emerged as a valuable budget option this season. Priced at just £5.4m, he’s earned 45 points with 3 goals and 2 assists. His underlying stats, with an xG of 2.86 and xA of 2.9, hint that he too could deliver even more in the coming gameweeks, making him a standout budget choice.
While Digne hasn’t scored yet, his 3 assists and 37 points position him as an appealing defensive option.
His 8 big chances created and xA of 3.05 put him top among defenders for both metrics, as highlighted in the Opta Stats Sandbox. More attacking returns could be on the horizon.
Brighton's fixture list looks equally enticing. They face Bournemouth (A), Southampton (H), Fulham (A), and Leicester (A). Brighton assets could be set for a purple patch.
Danny Welbeck has turned back the clock, showing glimpses of his prime with 64 points, 6 goals, and 2 assists. His 12 shots on target from 31 attempts reflect his confidence in front of goal. Priced at £5.9m, he could be the affordable striker your team needs.
Joao Pedro, at just £5.4m, has scored 30 points with 3 goals and 1 assist, despite limited minutes. His efficiency is evident, with 4 shots on target from only 8 attempts. As a potential differential pick, he could reward managers willing to take a risk.
When comparing the two Brighton forwards using the Fix Comparison Matrix feature, Joao Pedro stands out in several per-game stats. He’s also on penalties and cheaper than Welbeck, though his minutes might be less secure—a factor to consider with the busy festive period approaching.
Despite a relatively slow start, Mitoma's underlying stats hint at a breakthrough.
According to the Custom Stats Builder tool, he is currently the Premier League's biggest xG underperformer, with only 1 goal from an xG of 3.55.
His creativity is also notable, with an xA of 2.56, 14 attempted assists, and 4 big chances created, all leading metrics for Brighton. With favourable fixtures ahead, Mitoma could be primed for an attacking return scoring spree.
Chelsea's upcoming fixtures offer a mix of opportunity and challenge. They face Leicester (A), Aston Villa (H), Southampton (A), and Tottenham (A). Chelsea assets could provide excellent value.
Cole Palmer has shone as Chelsea's standout performer this season, racking up 84 points with 7 goals and 5 assists—a dream asset for FPL managers and a potential captaincy option in upcoming gameweeks.
According to the Predicted Points & Stats tool, Palmer is projected to score the second-most points over the next 4 gameweeks and tops the predictions for Gameweek 13.
Nicolas Jackson has started his second Premier League season strongly, amassing 60 points with 6 goals and 3 assists. His clinical finishing is evident, with 15 shots on target from 25 attempts and an xG of 5.76, suggesting he’s set to maintain his goalscoring form.
For those seeking a differential, Noni Madueke might be the answer. He’s earned 49 points with 4 goals and 1 assist, showing moments of real potential. With 12 shots on target from 31 attempts, he isn’t shy in front of goal.
Opta Heatmaps highlight his advanced positioning, with a team-high 57 touches in the opposition box. Priced at £6.4m, he could be a savvy addition to your squad.
As we head into this favourable run of fixtures, Aston Villa, Brighton, and Chelsea offer a smorgasbord of FPL options. Whether you're looking for a potential captain in Palmer, a budget enabler in Rogers, or a potential differential in Madueke, these teams have something for every FPL manager.
Remember, in Fantasy Premier League, fixture difficulty can often be the difference between a good gameweek and a great one. With these teams facing a relatively kind run, now might be the perfect time to invest.
