FPL Studio Scout: GW35-GW38 Fixture Strategy

An FDR-driven analysis for the final Gameweeks, identifying essential targets like Chelsea and Tottenham while advising sales of players with poor upcoming fixtures.

Welcome back, managers! The FPL Studio Scout is here to guide you through the crucial final stretch starting from GW35. Analyzing the Fixture Difficulty Rating (FDR) matrix reveals massive opportunities for rank progression.

Chelsea and Tottenham are the absolute priority targets right now. Both teams enjoy a Double Gameweek 35 alongside a stellar run of fixtures through the end of the season. Loading up on their attackers is a highly recommended strategy.

Conversely, Aston Villa and Brighton face a brutal gauntlet of red fixtures. Their upcoming schedules are heavily congested with title-chasing opponents and difficult away trips. It is highly advisable to sell their assets to fund your London targets.

Your actionable transfer advice this week is to aggressively attack the doubles. Sell underperforming midfielders from teams with tough single fixtures and bring in Cole Palmer or Son Heung-min. Taking a minor points hit is perfectly acceptable if it guarantees extra playing minutes.

Manchester City also commands our attention despite lacking a GW35 double. Their pursuit of the Premier League title means explosive potential against lower-tier opposition. Securing at least two of their premium attackers is essential.

Success in the final Gameweeks requires a careful balance of calculated risks and proven premiums. Monitor the press conferences closely for any unexpected rotation news. Best of luck with those green arrows!
