All ours should be any shade of red while Rodgers is in charge.

Only value you'll get is from Maddison.

He's the only one I'm considering after the international break.

Big change to the ticker this week as 'Bollocks it's Liverpool or Man City' is now just 'Bollocks it's Man City' due to Liverpool's blip continuing beyond the point we can call it a blip.

Some things to note for FPL:

- It may be worth trying to get treble Man City or Arsenal after they blank.

- It may be worth considering a plan to remove Chelsea assets.

- Liverpool's fixtures do take a nice turn soon. 

- Everton assets look good from GW14 until the World Cup.

- Crystal Palace have the most favourable fixtures until the World Cup.

I think this is the last one i'll do until the World Cup.

In a nutshell if you're a fixtures guy...

- Get three Man City players.

- Avoid Chelsea and be wary that any Arsenal and Newcastle players will face them.

- Punt on an Everton player.

Fixture Ticker updated. It's a very wide graph to compensate for the DGW announcements and few fixtures afterwards.

Despite a poor start to the season for their standards, Liverpool players should be very popular on wildcards due to the quality of their fixtures. Whilst the Chelsea fixture will be difficult, you could probably hold Liverpool assets without having to worry about them until the Newcastle fixture in GW24.

Newcastle United players will remain popular as they have a good run of fixtures up until GW24 providing you can navigate through the Arsenal away fixture in GW19.

Chelsea also have a good start to the new campaign now thanks to the announcement of a DGW in 19 (I forgot to amend the Fulham fixture to green). You could probably hold a Chelsea player and not worry about them until GW21.

A big question that most will ponder on for Wildcard will be how many Man City players to pick. They have two DGW's in four GW's which sounds great, but they're playing Manchester United, Tottenham (twice) and Arsenal. They also have Chelsea immediately before these fixtures. When you chuck in Pep Routlette it could become a real headache to find a player whose going to play the fixtures you want them too (other than Haaland of course).

A good team to consider that will enable you to free up funds for more expensive players are Southampton. Nathan Jones has been gifted a good opportunity to get points on the board as they have a rather nice fixture ticker up until GW24.

Crystal Palace, Everton, Fulham and Man United players may be good short-term options as long as you have a plan to remove those players as their fixtures turn pretty nasty pretty quickly. Whilst Spurs fixtures don't turn 'nasty', there fixtures also get more difficult after a good short-term start.

Brighton players may be worth a 'gamble' due to their indifferent fixture run and should be considered if you can rotate there players.

Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brentford, Leeds, Leicester, Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Wolves players will be immediate avoids in the short term due to the initial difficulty of their fixtures. However (Bournemouth, Forest and Wolves aside) these teams fixtures do improve around the time that the teams in the above paragraph fixtures get more difficult. So they should be considered in planning. West Ham and Everton fixtures flip immediately after the first GW for example.

It will be a difficult decision for most when it comes to Arsenal players. They've exceeded expectations, they have a DGW, but there fixtures leading in to a DGW with Manchester City are not easy. West Ham, Brighton, Newcastle, Man United and Spurs are all fixtures where they could drop points.

I've updated the fixture ticker but there's some things to be wary of when bringing in players:

Two Games are likely to be moved in GW25 during GW22 (likely to be Newcastle and Man Utd fixtures).

4-6 Games are anticipated to be moved in GW28 before GW26.

3-4 Games are anticipated to be moved in GW32 before GW29.
