Introducing the FPL Fixture Swing Charts
As a complement to this site’s Season Ticker, Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members can now download Fixture Swing Charts for each FPL team.
The idea behind them is that they make it easy for you to spot upcoming fixture swings at a glance.
The underlying difference between them and the Season Ticker is that each point represents an average rating of the upcoming five fixtures. As opposed to illustrating individual fixtures using colour coding.
As an aid to planning, much like our best fixture runs article, the charts can help you to identify when is a good time to jump on or jump off teams.
Points towards the bottom of the chart indicate a lower average rating – and a good time to get on board – whereas points towards the top indicate a higher average rating, and a good time to sell.
Using Chelsea as an example, the average rating of their next five matches is 1187. Breaking this down: 1350 + 1100 + 1160 + 1065 + 1260 = 5935 / 5 = 1187
But waiting a Gameweek sees their average rating drop to 1135, with Arsenal replaced by Brentford: 1100 + 1160 + 1065 + 1260 + 1090 = 5675 / 5 = 1135.
Seeing into the Future
Chelsea’s impending fixture swing and good run is fairly evident when looking at the ticker. The Fixture Swing Charts are more useful for highlighting future shifts. They allow you to see ahead in a way that the ticker doesn’t.
Take Fulham, for instance. Their five-match sequence from Gameweek 12 is their hardest run, but by Gameweek 19 their schedule is much improved. Their average rating has dropped from 1230 in Gameweek 12 to 1097.
