🔥FIXTURE TRANSFER GUIDE🔥

Here are some of the best transfers to make early in the season to capitalise on fixture swings ‼️

Taking advantage of those green fixtures for as long as possible ✅

[THREAD] 🧵

#FPL #FPLCommunity
GW4: Ings ➡️ Jimenez

Ings has already hit form in pre-season with a goal in his first start for Villa, so his first 3 fixtures should be a treat for owners🔥

We can then move him on to Jimenez, who has some of the best fixtures in the league up until GW14 🤯
GW4: Targett ➡️ Tierney

Villa’s first 3 fixtures are there to attack, but then the fixtures get tough where can expect very few CSs ⚠️

That’s where moving to Tierney will have its upside, all the way up until GW11 the fixtures are bright green for Arsenal ✅

🇦🇷Buendia🇦🇷 v 🇯🇲Bailey🇯🇲

All stats are from the 2020/21 Championship & Bundesliga seasons and in the format ‘per 90 mins’

Heatmaps: very close one. Buendia has some good central positioning, whereas Bailey has more presence in the box. I think this slightly favours Bailey 🇯🇲🔥 Image
🇦🇷Buendia v Bailey🇯🇲

Goals: 0.39 v 0.3 🇦🇷
xG: 0.30 v 0.2 🇦🇷
Shots: 2.86 v 1.93 🇦🇷
SoT: 0.93 v 0.84 🇦🇷
Conversion rate: 14% v 16% 🇯🇲
Big chances missed: 0.26 v 0.16 🇦🇷

Assists: 0.41 v 0.32 🇦🇷

A player-by-player analysis of all £4.0m defenders 🧐

Who is most likely to get minutes at the start of the season? 👀

I’ll be ranking the prospects of the players starting using the follow metrics, from highest chance of playing (✅), to clear avoids (❌)…

✅ Likely
👀 Watch
😕 Unlikely
❌ Avoid
Amartey (LEI) 🦊

Evans is currently injured and expected to spend some weeks on the sidelines. The only way Amartey can start is if Rodgers opts for a back 5, where Amartey will likely be the one to slot in at CB.

Verdict: Watch 👀
