With all the #FPL drafts and threads all over the twitter community I figured, with 2 weeks to go, it& #39;s time to throw in my 2 cents
I love @OfficialFPL but I hate the fixture rankings, so I& #39;ve done my own
From easiest to hardest, split attack vs defence this looks like:

Some VERY interesting outcomes
CHE at home is 3rd easiest attack - we knew their defence was bad, not THAT bad
SHU can shut up shop at home, expect similar from Leeds
CRY are rubbish attacking at home
SOU and WHU offer up a LOT of goals, is McCarthy still a good idea?

With these rankings, here& #39;s my analysis for the opening 6 fixtures
As we knew, Spurs are ones to watch, and Man United after the blank
Arsenal, West Ham, Villa and Leeds look less enticing!

The ones in the game ignore teams that are good at attacking and poor at defending or vice versa, like Bournemouth or Sheffield United.
They also don& #39;t use a ranking of 1, I get they don& #39;t want to make someone look stupid but why bother even having it!?

They are also fairly predictable. Traditional & #39;Big 6& #39; are always at least a 3 at home and a 4 away, anyone that had a good season can be thrown into the 3 camp (see SHU, EVE and BUR) and the rest are given a 2
My method uses the simple metric of goals. Nothing else, because really nothing else matters! Average goals scored/conceded at home and away over the course of last season
The %s give you a view of relativity between the fixture difficulties

Predicting the promoted teams is not easy, I look at the goals scored/conceded by the last 3 promoted teams in their promotion season, and their performance last year, then compare with the 3 newbies to give an estimation and then update as more relevant data comes in
