Fixture Ticker

Overview & potential strategies for the first set of chips

Man City and Man Utd have the best fixtures in the first 7 GWs, which really weakens the already poor case for going without both Haaland and Bruno.

Arsenal's opening run is decent. Gabriel will certainly be a must-have. Questions remain on Rice, is it realistic to expect him to match last year's heights?

Tottenham could be a decent differential shout, maybe someone like a Kudus or a Van Hecke, who will likely be quite cheap.

For Free Hit, the best option looks like GW4. It's a chance to jump off the City-United train ahead of their clash and maybe take the best Chelsea, Palace and Villa players. Chelsea's fixture in particular looks juicy.
