Interactive Fantasy Football Fixture Tracker 2015-16
It’s that time again folks; T minus two weeks or so and counting! Many FPL players pick their initial team based chiefly on last season’s form, others on as many big names as possible (with the necessary accompanying threadbare bench), while yet others have a noticeable bias towards players from their supported team (Kop does NOT approve!). The serious FPL player will select their starting 15 based on a wide range of factors however, not least of which are the fixtures.
With that in mind I’ve updated and improved the season-long tracker a few people seemed to find useful last year. This lets you choose how difficult each fixture is and displays appropriate colours as an easy visual guide – much like the tracker on the site except that it shows the whole season and is interactive. I’ll give a brief outline of how it works here but there are instructions in the tracker too and there’s a link to a video explaining it at the bottom.
You start by grouping together teams of similar ability, such as putting Arsenal, Chelsea, City and United in Level 1. Last season you could put teams in 4 different groups, but now you can place them in anything from 3 to 10 groups depending on how detailed you want to get. This way you could even have Chelsea in a category all on their own if you consider them to be that much better than their rivals for example.
Next comes the other upgrade from the first tracker – last season you were limited to having 5 colours represent the different matches, but now you can choose between 3, 5 or 7. After you make your choice you will then decide how difficult you rate each match between teams of different groups. When you have finished you can select the Fixtures Tab and all of the colours there will have updated to be specific to your own ratings. These can be changed as often as you like, and indeed should be updated as the season goes on to account for changes in teams’ forms.

Thoughts on this bad boy?
Nice team.
I wonder about O’shea’s gametime.
Put Cedric in.
That being said, I do hop Rolando gets game time. Looked great in preseason.
So Real destroyed City and Delph is injured? Goodie.
Was being cynical, I want the EPL teams to do good versus Real Madrid.
Which combo is better?
1) sterling,jerome,azpiliqueta
Or
2) Davis(Southampton), Rooney, Oshea
Is there a 3? 😉
I’ll go with #1.
#1 as they should all start.
Davis isn’t a guaranteed starter.
Many thanks for the file Calvin, much appreciated. now we can play!
I’m already finding it very useful when i want to compare 2 teams fixtures to see if players rotate well
That is an excellent feature!
Very helpful this. Thanks Calvin. Thought’s on this mob?
Welcome Tom. Monitor JRod’s pre-season as some are saying he may not make it into the starting 11. Also unsure about Defoe, who was disappointing last season – would rather the unknown entity of Deeney and hope he can do an Austin.
Don’t know much about the order of play for Stoke defs, but guessing Wolls will fill in at least as long as the other two guys are injured. Just beware of them returning and ousting him. Stoke to rotate quite well with Newcastle and Sunderland so decent defence there.
Your keepers rotate perfectly H/A-wise, but still don’t like their actual opening fixtures. Also bear in mind Hennessey may well be moving to WBA and claiming first spot, which would at least save you cash if you want to stick with WBA/AVL.
