Using the Fantasy Football Scout Fixture Ticker, we can see that teams with best fixtures are positioned near the top, whilst the teams positioned towards the bottom have the worst fixtures.
Who has the Best Fixtures?
Arguably the standout clash for Gameweek 2 is the one between Arsenal and Leeds. The Gooners will be hoping to dispatch their newly promoted opposition in front of their own fans. Arsenal head into the match as huge favourites, which suggests their assets have lots of potential.
Burnley v Sunderland could hold significance for FPL managers this week. Those who stocked up on their cheap playing assets have a great opportunity to start or bench boost them this week. There is no telling which way the game will go, but both sides will be hoping to pick up a positive result.
Chelsea’ clash with West Ham should be another fixture FPL managers look to. The Blues have been in fantastic form and maintained some of the best underlying data in the league last season. Meanwhile, the Hammers ranked among the worst sides in the league for a range of different metrics.

Who has the Worst Fixtures?
Newcastle sit rock bottom of the fixture ticker in Gameweek 2. A meeting with league leaders Liverpool lays ahead which could be extremely limiting for their assets potential. Of the 11 matches they have beaten the Reds historically, 10 have been at home, which could offer some light.
Another side who dwell near the bottom of the ticker is Leeds. Leeds stormed their way to automatic promotion last season. However, reality may hit this week with a match against expected title contenders Arsenal.
Whilst Tottenham impressed in the opening round, they did face newly promoted side Burnley. Thomas Frank has evidently made an instant impact since joining, but a meeting with Manchester City this week could be a step too far.
