Which FPL teams rotate well with each other?

Whether it’s for goalkeepers, defenders or cheap attackers, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers want to identify teams whose fixtures rotate well with each other.

Using Fantasy Football Scout’s Fixture Ticker, you can discover some golden pairings that cover each other’s unappealing matches.

How the Ticker finds FPL teams to rotate

After selecting a team, a ‘Sort by Rotation’ option appears below the table. Clicking this organises the other 19 clubs by how well their fixtures intertwine with them.

You can even delete a Gameweek from this assessment if that’s when you plan to use a Free Hit.

Gameweeks 1 to 10: Good two-way rotations

ARSENAL + WEST HAM

West Ham have a superb opening trip to Sunderland, allowing Alphonse Areola (£4.5m) to start instead of David Raya (£5.5m). This could also work in defence, where both Aaron Wan-Bissaka and El Hadji Malick Diouf are intriguing £4.5m wing-backs.

ARSENAL + NOTT’M FOREST

Perhaps a better (but more expensive) way to cover Arsenal’s tricky Gameweeks 1, 3, 5 and 6 is Nottingham Forest, who simultaneously face Brentford, West Ham, Burnley and Sunderland.

Matz Sels (£5.0m) shared last season’s Golden Glove with Raya. But there’ll be more interest in defence, where Nikola Milenkovic (£5.5m) and Murillo (£5.5m) would’ve been FPL’s two best defenders, had defensive contribution points been around.

NOTT’M FOREST + CRYSTAL PALACE

For slightly less, teammate Neco Williams (£5.0m) was the number two overall defender for shots from Gameweek 16 onwards, when the Welshman started every match.

Any of these could pair nicely with a Crystal Palace name like Daniel Munoz (£5.5m), Maxence Lacroix (£5.0m) or Marc Guehi (£4.5m), depending on remaining budget.

CRYSTAL PALACE + WEST HAM

The 2024/25 FA Cup winners started slowly in the league but hit great form between Gameweeks 14 and 28. Palace won nine of these 15, keeping seven clean sheets.

Any of the aforementioned defenders can go together and Dean Henderson (£5.0m) fits well with Areola.

THE WOLVES SECTION

Meanwhile, a lot of teams’ runs fit well with Wolverhampton Wanderers. For example, Gameweek 5 features Arsenal v Man City, Man United v Chelsea and the Merseyside derby, while Vitor Pereira’s side host Leeds.

Although they conceded the most goals (69) of all last season’s surviving teams, five successful shut-outs took place between Gameweeks 24 and 34.

Jose Sa (£4.5m) is priced nicely between the sticks and Emmanuel Agbadou (£4.5m) seems nailed-on at the back. Looking at recent friendly line-ups, maybe Ki-Jana Hoever will become the standout £4.0m defender.
