Game Week 8: FPL Goat’s Fixture Ticker

Teams with the Best Fixtures and Players to Target for the Upcoming Game weeks

 

 

Brentford

Brentford has one of the best fixture runs in the upcoming game weeks, with several affordable options worth considering.

🥇 Mbeumo – Arguably the best midfielder to get right now, especially given his strong fixtures.
🥈 Flekken – Currently leading for saves, Flekken is a solid £4.5m goalkeeper option.
🥉 Carvalho – At just £4.8m, he’s a great budget midfielder who can easily be benched when needed. Carvalho has already notched 2 assists in the 3 games he’s started for Brentford.

 

 

 

Everton

Though Everton has struggled both offensively and defensively, they now face a favourable run of fixtures.

🥇 McNeil – The best midfielder under £6m, McNeil is 3rd in the league for big chances created and 2nd for expected assists (xA).
🥉 Pickford – While Everton’s defense hasn’t been solid, their upcoming fixtures offer the potential for clean sheets. When they do manage one, Pickford often racks up bonus points.

 

 

 

Fulham

Fulham has had a decent start to the season, with strong signings and a good run of fixtures through to Gameweek 14.

🥇 Raul Jimenez – One of the best budget forwards, with 2 goals and 3 assists since becoming a regular starter.
🥈 Smith Rowe – An impressive signing for Fulham, with 3 goal involvements and 5 bonus points in 6 starts. While he may see reduced minutes occasionally, he’s still an excellent option overall.

 

 

 

Ipswich

One of the better-performing promoted teams, Ipswich has scored in all but one game this season, though they’ve struggled to keep clean sheets.

🥇 Delap – With 4 goals this season and a favourable fixture run, Delap is a strong alternative to Raul Jimenez if you’re looking for a budget forward.

 

 

 

Manchester United

United has been one of the season’s disappointments, enduring their worst start in years. However, with good fixtures ahead, they could turn their form around.

🥇 Onana – The best goalkeeper option alongside Raya, Onana is leading for both saves and clean sheets.
🥈 Bruno Fernandes – A frustrating pick for managers so far, Fernandes is overperforming his expected goal involvement (xGI) of 3.9 but has only 1 assist to show for it.
🥉 Dalot – A solid alternative to Onana, Dalot offers a slightly better upside, even if United doesn’t keep clean sheets.
