Green-Light Streaks from GW22: The Fixture Runs You Can Target (and the Ones You Can’t)
FPL Admin
FPL Elite Analyst
Introduction
Fixture planning is one of the cleanest edges in FPL—especially when you can jump onto a run of winnable matches and ride the points before the crowd catches up. Using the next four Gameweeks (GW22–GW25) and the listed fixture difficulties, this scout report focuses on one simple question:
> Which teams have 3+ “green” (easy) fixtures in a row from GW22 onwards?
For this piece, we treat difficulty 2 as “Green” (easy), and look specifically for consecutive green fixtures.

Quick Answer: Who Has a 3+ Green Run?
✅ Teams with 3+ consecutive Green fixtures (GW22–GW25)
Across GW22–GW25, no team strings together three straight difficulty-2 fixtures.
That might sound disappointing—but it’s actually useful: it means the best managers will be looking for shorter two-game bursts, or selectively targeting teams with multiple greens inside four rather than waiting for a perfect 3–4 week runway that never arrives.

The Best “Near-Miss” Fixture Runs (2 Greens in a Row)
If the 3-green holy grail isn’t available, the next best thing is a back-to-back green spell—perfect for a short-term punt, captaincy consideration, or a planned transfer pair.
Chelsea — GW24–GW25
Why it matters: Two consecutive green fixtures starting GW24 gives you a clear entry point. It’s also flexible—buy in GW24, reassess after GW25.
---
Leeds — GW23–GW25 (with a bump in the middle)
Leeds don’t get two greens back-to-back across all four, but they do have multiple inviting spots:
Key takeaway: Leeds are more of a single-fixture target (GW25) than a sustained run.

Teams with Multiple Greens in the Window (But Not Consecutive)
These are clubs you can rotate in/out depending on your squad structure—useful when you’re planning transfers with bench coverage.
Spurs
Read: A strong GW22–GW23 opening (2, 2) followed by a clear warning sign in GW24.
---
Liverpool
Read: Liverpool have one clear green in GW22, then a tougher stretch. This is a front-load fixture—ideal if you’re making a GW22-focused play.
---
Man City
Read: City have a standout green in GW23, but it’s surrounded by trickier games.
---
Man Utd
Read: A rough GW22–GW23, then a clear swing in GW24. If you’re planning ahead, GW24 is the pivot.
---
Arsenal
Read: Mostly steady (3s) with a single green payoff in GW25.

Conclusion
From GW22 to GW25, the data is clear: there’s no team with a 3+ consecutive green run. Instead, fixture planning here is about:
In this kind of schedule, the edge doesn’t come from finding the perfect run—it comes from moving early on the mini-runs and stepping off before the red flags hit.
