Out of the first five, they face two newly-promoted sides (Watford FC and Brentford), along with Newcastle who struggled for most of last season. Led by Jack Grealish, Aston Villa really hit the ground running at the beginning last season, and with him healthy again, there is a great chance that the Villans will do the same again with these fixtures coming up. Based on last seasons form, you’d back them in a few of these games, and then Leeds comes up in GW-6 for a possible goal-fest.Īston Villa: WAT (A), NEW (H), BRE (H), CHE (A), EVE (H) European football may well cause problems, testing squad-depth as the season goes on, but in the early days it’s definitely looking positive for the Hammers. West Ham shocked many last season, being in the fight for Champions League football for quite some time, eventually finishing 6th and qualifying for the Europa League. West Ham: NEW (A), LEI (H), CRY (H), SOU (A), MUN (H) Salah/Mane offer up great captaincy options for these. Liverpool finished last season in great form, having made up some lost ground from their dire run following Christmas. They face newly promoted Norwich City in their first game, with their only real challenge against Chelsea in GW-3. The Reds have some sweet early fixtures to get off the mark and get their noses in front. Liverpool will be hoping to bounce back after a disappointing campaign last season. Liverpool: NOR (A), BUR (H), CHE (H), LEE (A), CRY (H) If OGS buys someone exciting in the summer transfer window, he might be an instant board favorite, especially in Fantrax with its soft new-boy pricing. So fantasy managers must target OGS’s men in the preseason draft, with the usual Bruno Fernandes likely to be the pick of the bunch. Even after these first five matches, United face Aston Villa and Everton in the next two game-weeks it’s not until GW-8 that the opposition stiffens, and United could be top of the table by then. The Red Devils kick off with some great fixtures, facing only teams outside the perennial “Big 6” (caveat: West Ham had a great season last time out, finishing 6th). Man United : LEE (H), SOU (A), WOL (A), NEW (H), WHA (A) Let’s take a look at the sides with the best & worst first-5 fixtures: Fixture lists have a huge bearing on fantasy strategies, helping managers plan player rotations, transfers, and prospective chip strategies in FPL.
