Game Week 15: FPL Goat’s Fixture Ticker

Arsenal

Now is the best time to get 2–3 Arsenal players in your team after some tougher fixtures have gone by.

🥇 Saka: 5 goals and 11 assists this season. He is top for assists, top for chances created, top for big chances created, and top for xA.

He and Arsenal, in general, struggled a bit with the Ødegaard injury, but with him being back, Saka looks like a completely different player.

4 double-digit hauls this season, with many more to come.

🥈 Gabriel: Currently the top-scoring defender in the game and the defender to own, a literal menace from set pieces and corners.

Great set of fixtures for Arsenal. Gabriel scored last GW vs. West Ham but was subbed off at halftime as a precaution. I think he should be fine for the next GWs to come.

🥉 Ødegaard: As much as I like Raya for that 3rd midfield spot, I prefer to have some fun and get another Arsenal attacker in.

I think they are going to score a lot of goals, more so than keeping clean sheets. Ødegaard is always involved in the majority of the chances and goals they create.

He has 1 goal and 2 assists in 3 games since returning from injury—basically, he’s had a return in every game since coming back.

12 chances created and 2 big chances created in the last 3 GWs. He has the potential for some huge hauls with great fixtures.

Bournemouth

The tougher fixtures have gone by, and now is the time to get 1–2 Bournemouth players in.

🥇 Semenyo: The best Bournemouth player to own currently. He has 4 goals and an assist, despite playing against some of the toughest teams in the league.

He also scored in GW11 vs. Man City, and in the next 6 GWs, he plays 3 of the worst defenses in the league.

🔴 He is also now back from suspension, has had his much-deserved rest, and is ready to go for the festive period.

🥈 Evanilson: A great cheap forward option at £6.9m who is now starting games regularly for his team.

He has 4 goals and 4 assists in the league this season. All his attacking returns have come in the last 6 GWs. He has scored in the last 3 consecutive games and looks to be in form.

He also got 3 assists and became the player to win 3 penalties in one game in PL history.

🥉 Kerkez: Bournemouth, defensively at home, is top 3 in almost every underlying stat. You could rotate him and play him in just home games.

He also got his first goal of the season vs. Wolves.

Brighton

Brighton now has a run of incredible fixtures for the next 10 GWs at the least, where they play all 3 promoted teams and only play Arsenal among the top 4 PL teams.

🥇 João Pedro: He has been very, very unlucky with injuries this season. He has started just 3 games this season, scoring 2 goals in that time.

He came on for a 25-minute cameo vs. Man City and singlehandedly turned the game in Brighton’s favor with a goal and an assist.

An incredible option at £5.8m, but he could see a benching here and there. Currently, he looks like their best attacker.

🥈 Welbeck: Looks bang in form since the start of the season. Hurzeler has made him a different beast since taking over.

6 goals and 2 assists this season. Only Wood and Haaland have more points among forwards.

🔴 I was wrong thinking Welbeck is worth the extra £0.5m. I think right now, with his form and provided he stays fit, João Pedro is the best Brighton attacking option.

🔴 Also, I don’t like Brighton’s defense at all, as I’ve been mentioning every week. So I couldn’t recommend anyone—not even the GK Verbruggen.

Chelsea

Chelsea has one of the best fixture runs of any team that lasts till GW25, where they play all 3 promoted teams.

🥇 Palmer: He is as close to a must-have as it gets—one of the first premium players along with Salah I would currently want in the team.

8 goals and 6 assists, with 4 double-digit hauls already. He’s been a talisman for Chelsea since last season.

After 4 blanks in 5 GWs, he has finally got a goal and an assist, with incredible fixtures coming up.

🥈 Jackson: Jackson has 21 goals and 9 assists in 43 starts since joining Chelsea.

He also has 7 goals and 4 assists this season. Only Haaland among forwards has more attacking returns.

Keep in mind that Jackson is on 4 yellows and could miss a game if he gets a 5th yellow.

He was benched vs. Southampton, which was kind of expected given the quick turnaround of games this festive period.

🥉 Rob Sanchez: He is one of the best GK options to get right now and also on wildcard.

Liverpool

Easily the best team in the world currently. Arne Slot’s side is currently playing like they are on a walk in the park.

They now have absolutely amazing fixtures ahead, both for their attack and defense.

🥇 Salah: Don’t need to say anything about him. Just get him in your team and stick the captaincy on him vs. Everton.

10 double-digit hauls in 14 GWs. 4 consecutive double-digit hauls and only 2 blanks all season.

🥈 TAA: He still doesn’t look like really good value, but the fixtures are absolutely amazing. He also took a lot of shots vs. Man City and almost scored.

He was rested in GW14 and is ready to go vs. Everton, who have just scored 14 goals in 14 games.

🥉 VVD: If you can’t afford Trent and want a cheaper option most reliable for minutes, then it’s VVD. He hardly misses any game and has immense goal threat from set pieces.

He came close twice vs. Man City via 2 incredible headers.

Newcastle United

Newcastle United has been one of the most inconsistent teams this season, with their form and performances very hard to predict.

Now they have a decent run of fixtures, which lasts till GW24.

🥇 Isak: He is the only Newcastle option I would consider.

5 goals and 3 assists in 12 starts. He also got a goal and an assist vs. Liverpool, who have the best defense in the league.

Wolves

A very underwhelming team so far, who have been on the receiving end of everything. They are also the team without a win, along with Southampton and Ipswich.

They had one of the worst runs of fixtures to start the season, but the tides have turned, and they now have the best run of fixtures till at least GW17, in which they play all 3 promoted teams along with Palace and Everton, who are also bottom 5 in the league.

🥇 Cunha: According to some reports, Cunha did train normally, but he had an ice pack on his knee after training. That might be something to monitor in the press conference.

He has 7 goals and 3 assists in 11 starts this season. He is the best cheap forward to own.

🥈 Strand Larsen: A decent option with a brace last GW, but I would still keep Cunha way ahead of him and wouldn’t buy Larsen if you can afford Cunha.

I don’t consider Aït-Nouri an option anymore. Wolves are the worst in the league in terms of almost all underlying defensive numbers, and I would recommend selling him ASAP.
