RotoWire's Fixture Difficulty Ranker
Using RotoWire's Fixture Difficulty Ranker, which evaluates upcoming matches based on league position, goals scored and goals conceded, here are the best teams to target heading into Gameweek 24 and beyond.
Best Teams to Target for Upcoming Fixtures (GW24–GW27)
Chelsea
Chelsea have the most dramatic fixture swing in the league. From Gameweek 24 onward, the schedule reads West Ham, Wolves, Leeds and Burnley, which is about as good as it gets for both attackers and defenders.
Enzo Fernandez stands out as the most practical midfield option. He's affordable, completely nailed and ranks only behind Bruno Fernandes for expected goal involvement among midfielders. With Cole Palmer not fit to play every league match, Enzo should continue to see minutes in the No. 10 role and could also take penalties when Palmer is off the pitch.
Chelsea's defence is also worth monitoring closely. Trevoh Chalobah has emerged as the standout defensive option, while Robert Sanchez offers good value in goal for those wanting coverage of this fixture run.
Manchester United
United finally move into an attractive run now that Arsenal and Manchester City are out of the way. Fulham, Tottenham, West Ham, Everton and Crystal Palace provide plenty of opportunity for returns in the coming month. There is also a renewed feel good factor under Michael Carrick, which has helped their attacking play.
Bruno Fernandes remains the standout asset. He offers penalties, set pieces, creativity, defensive contributions and elite underlying numbers, making him a genuine captaincy option this week. Bryan Mbeumo is the clear second attacker to target after scoring in both of the last two matches and operating as the central striker. Amad Diallo could become a budget option with secure minutes, while Matheus Cunha may also appeal with Patrick Dorgu sidelined. The defence, however, still looks fragile and is best avoided for now.
Aston Villa
Villa also enter a superb run of fixtures with Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton, Leeds and Wolves to come. Morgan Rogers remains the obvious attacking pick. He's nailed for 90 minutes and provides the best value route into the Villa front line.
Ollie Watkins may see some minutes managed following Tammy Abraham's arrival, but he still remains a strong option. In defence, Matty Cash continues to stand out, especially with his involvement on set pieces, adding extra attacking upside.
Bournemouth
Bournemouth benefit from kinder fixtures after a difficult spell. Evanilson could be a smart differential at an affordable price, as he's likely on penalties with Marcus Tavernier out. Junior Kroupi is another budget option with Justin Kluivert injured and Antoine Semenyo gone, though his minutes remain uncertain.
In defence, Marcos Senesi leads all defenders for defensive contributions and offers a reliable floor. James Hill provides a much cheaper route into the back line after forcing his way into the team with impressive performances.
Arsenal
Arsenal's upcoming run is excellent, with Leeds and Sunderland ahead and a potential double in Gameweek 26. Their defence remains the best in the league for goals conceded and expected goals conceded. Three of David Raya, Jurrien Timber, Gabriel and Bukayo Saka still look the optimal combination.
Doubling up defensively feels close to essential given the data and clean sheet odds. Saka should also benefit from having been rested in Europe and looks set for strong minutes in the weeks ahead.
Final Thoughts: Best Teams to Target in FPL From Gameweek 24
Targeting teams with favourable upcoming fixtures remains one of the most reliable ways to generate consistent returns in Fantasy Premier League. Chelsea and Arsenal headline the list for sustained upside, while Bournemouth, Manchester United and Aston Villa offer a mix of value, differentials and budget enablers.
These fixture runs are best used alongside predicted lineups, injury news and chip strategy to maximise points over the next five Gameweeks.
