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.

Mind …. Blown! Incredible. Thank you @SharpyBoy86
It blew my mind too Punk. I plan on exploiting this tool.
But are you going to use the fixture tracker?
Nice work Calvin!! I would make a job about this “tool” but it looks like people have already done that 😉
Guys after multiple changes i think im nearly there with my team:
Speroni,
Clyne, Cedric, Azpi,
Hazard, Depay, Payet, Walcott,
Rooney, Benteke, Deeney
Butland, O’Shea, Coloccini, Wanyama
Any thoughts or advice?
Thanks
Bmac this is a well balanced team looks good to go
thanks Silverback i think im there unless there is anymore major signings, my only concern was the lack of city coverage and how to get Aguero in once fit but i doubt im the only one with that problem!
Bmac I don’t have any Ars cover & expect them to go very close to winning the league this season there are a lot more att choices this season going to be very interesting You would have to drop Wally for a cheaper MF player when I thk about this it might be wise to to change Clyne to a 5m Def leave .5m in bank then when you change you can get a 7m MF player just a thought 😉
Yeah not a bad idea there mate thanks alot il look into it! Hows your team going?
Yeah team not far away have posted it a couple of times just a few things to sort out biggest problem having two weak MF players but still tinkering I will post it again soon cheers mate.
GK news
Myhill signs new two year extension at WBA and Alex McCarthy joins Crystal Palace from Reading.
I see McCarthy as Pardew’s first choice – he’ll definitely be 4.5M though I’m sure.. What for Hennessey now?
DDG replacement? 😉
That’s put to bed now surely with the Ramos “100% staying” quotation.
Good on United for taking Real Madrid head-on though.
How’s Cookie this evening?
All good GP, you doing well my favourite gritter?
I don’t believe a word Benitez says – already ructions in the camp – the DDG / Ramos saga isn’t over for sure. But yes, I agree, glad we haven’t just taken their derisory offer and laid down.
Yeah good for them.
I have just completely stopped listening any time anyone in football gives an absolute statement anymore; the amount of times they end up doing a total 180 is just ridiculous.
Cookie
Very well thanks. Thought any more about your scheme from the other day?
GP, yeah I had a play with it yesterday on the basis of playing 2-5-3 in GW2 then wildcarding for GW4, but didn’t really come up with anything that gave me a decent team for GW1.
Then I frustrated, logged out and haven’t logged in since!! On that basis I’ll probably leave it.
Can I have a RMT please
Thanks
Ripcurl, remains to be seen if Speroni will be first choice now that McCarthy has been signed. Also not crazy about that GK rotation as there are a couple of tricky GWs in the first few for them.
That’s a cracking first 10 players though, nice work.
I can afford Fabianski/Kasper?
