Been looking for something like this for ages.

Can usually only find one for 6 games in advance but would prefer to be able to see the next 10 fixtures fresh every week.

Never agree with the rating of difficulty but it’s a handy fixture reference.

Still might learn to make my own though.

This one tool alone does most of my work for making transfers.

Do you use FFS? You can set ur own difficulty for fixtures AFAIK

Trimm Trabb · 12-11-2018 10:10pm

Wondering how people are getting on with goalkeepers?

Seems to me that taking a points per million wise having pretty much any 4.5 like Hart, Ryan, Patricio etc with a 4.0 is the way to go.

Ederson is 10/15 points ahead of those but for a million more and Lloris and especially De Gea are proving exceptionally bad value.

Anyone managed to rotate two 4.5s to get a high score? Or manage to time a transfer so you’ve got good returns from two?

I do use it and paid for it first time this year.

It’s terrible on iPhone as the member area is built for desktop. I think.

Anyway, whenever I’m trying to zoom in or out I accidentally alter other **** so I just don’t use it.

My needs are simple. Just a big dirty table of fixtures, alphabetical order is fine, in portrait that I can zoom in and out of. And one that updates weekly so next fixture is always the first fixture in the table.

I am technology disabled and would be a modern day Luddite.

I have been trying to make time to sit down with my partner and make one so hopefully we get a chance to do it during the international break.

I was about to say the FFS should be no problem to use on a mobile but just tried it out there and I also started changing rankings accidentally. I obviously only look at it properly on a desktop. Fantastic tool though. Just take a screenshot with your phone each week when you visit the page and use a gallery app to zoom in and out.

Cheers.

I do something similar but no idea what a gallery app is.

I follow someone on twitter (for this sole reason) that releases a table each week so I screenshot that but it’s only the next 6 fixtures.

I just meant whatever app you use to view your images, I'm assuming it allows you to zoom in and out.

Sorry. I just screenshot and zoom in or out on that.

Utd, Arsenal, Everton & City thrown in with 3 away fixtures to Watford Bournemouth & Wolves who are all playing well this season (all in Top 10)

They are definitely bottom half when it comes to easy fixtures

As a Pool fan, none of these teams are close to them in terms of form this year. And we haven't clicked yet. Hard to score against and likely there's goals in all those games. 6 in last 2 games against Watford. OK teams but levels behind surely

S.M.B. · 12-11-2018 11:40pm

It's a basic yet useful table for predicting FPL scoring opportunities. Nothing more, nothing less.

2 games out of 9 against the bottom 10. And if you'd have 'clicked' already then the difficulty ratings would be adjusted accordingly.

It doesn't matter how good the team is. It's how good the opposition are.

Taxuser1 · 13-11-2018 12:38am

Maybe you're both right.that being said if a comparative of remaining was taken to last year against all teams, ignoring Wolves promotion, it's not a bad record for Liverpool fantasy football wise.

25 goals, 9 clean sheets

The loss to City was huge but 13 goals, for none conceded home and away to Bournemouth and Watford.

The table must not take the previous season results into account. It's all I meant.

Patricio and fab rotate very very nicely for the next 10 or so

Ranieri Up
Jokanivic Down

km79 · 14-11-2018 12:18pm

Lovely stuff
Was keeping him for that game and then moving on
He actually has a really good run over Xmas
If he could get suspended for either of the 2 tough games and looks like they are improving I think I’ll keep him
Have a lot of other fires to put out !

CSWS101 · 15-11-2018 4:32pm

VAR confirmed for next season. Think there will be an increase in the price of penalty takers? Will definitely be including a few in my first drafts as I think there will be a lot of penalties given in the first few weeks/months

The FPL powers that be might think so too and bump known takers up by a half million or 1. More likely take a point off a penalty goal.

Can't see them taking a point off a penalty goal.

km79 · 15-11-2018 7:12pm

By that logic they should also increase goalkeepers by .5 in case they save it !

It will all settle down after a few weeks .

Will Delph take mendys place now?

2nd Row Donkey · 15-11-2018 10:55pm

Just looking at the fixtures there. Those teams involved in the CL have between 10-12 games each between next Saturday gw13 and Jan1st... roughly 38 days... basically a game every 3rd or 4th day for the next 6 weeks.

I got in stones ahead of laporte, he's now playing 90 mins regularly, costs 5.3 and has the same minutes per point (18.6) as Laporte.

Hi there

If you have some time (~10 mins) over the international break, I'd be very grateful (if you haven't already) to fill out this survey on Fantasy Football and Internet Addiction. Here's a quick link to the survey

https://sjogh.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/fantasyfootball

And the separate thread is on the main Fantasy Sports Arena forum. We're around 100 responses short so if anyone could do it I'd be very grateful.

Thank you

David

On same subject of Mendy replacements.

What are people's thoughts?

Is Delph the most clear cut LB option for Pep?

With Danilo and Zinchenko the other possibilities at LB or Sane as a very long shot.

I'm thinking Stones as my 'safer' transfer if there isnt a clear replacement at LB.

20-11-2018 6:47am

Holebas will be mostly up against Shaqiri and Salah at the weekend.

Wonder will he get 2 yellows or just a straight red.

A betting man could make a few quid and maybe Liverpool to get a penalty too.

Shanotheslayer · 21-11-2018 11:25am

Without taking the European thread off topic, in reply to Shero
City away for captaincy. I've only got Aguero as an attacking option. His returns away from home have been quite poor.

I don't have the stats off hand but I think it's like 3PPG? If even.

Richarlison for me. It's been in my gut since Last GW. Barring a late training injury nothing is changing that for me. Expect him to be quite high up this week in expected points with Bookies also.

+1 for this he scored for Brazil during the break too and Cardiff are second to Burnley in shots faced I think I read? Between him and hazard for me leaning to richi atm
