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.

I have put Benteke in but not Henderson or Milner – I do not rate the latter two at this stage
Tremendous tool Calvin, many thanks.
Heyyyy. No need for that mate.
A or B? Improvements anywhere?
A)
Courtois/Hennessey
Ward/Huth/Cedric/Turner/Alderweireld
Hazard/Sterling/Walcott/Cabaye/Chadli
Benteke/Wilson/Rooney
B)
Courtois/Hennessey
Ward/Huth/Cedric/Turner/Alderweireld
Hazard/Milner/Walcott/Cabaye/Anya
Aguero/Wilson/Rooney
Anyone?
PP – Team B, for me. I would look to upgrade Turner though.
Many thanks for this tool
That’s ok Wafflez, we let him out once a year 😉
:smiling:
Looking for feedback on this team.
Nothing in the bank.
Deciding on Aguero is so difficult. His price means you have to sacrifice a lot of quality!
AT
Prefer Ighalo to Vydra at least in current form.
Jenkinson could be downgraded if you are looking for money.
Rest looks good. Sure you will do Rooney to Aguero if you have to.

Thanks, yeah I am undecided on that pair just yet.
Have Jenkinson as Bournemouth and West Ham rotate very well to begin with!
Afternoon all.
Thanks Calvin, this is what I’ve been looking for, now I can begin to think about my team the proper way!
