Green Streaks from GW23: The Fixture Runs Worth Attacking (and the Traps to Avoid)

Introduction

Fixtures don’t score points on their own—but in FPL they’re the cleanest, most repeatable edge we get. With GW23 and beyond in mind, this is a fixture-first scout report focused on one thing:

•Teams with 3+ “Green” fixtures (difficulty 1–2) in a row across the next four gameweeks.

Using only the provided schedule and difficulty ratings, here are the standout runs to target.

---

What counts as “Green” here?

•Green = Fixture Difficulty 1–2 (easy)

•We’re hunting for 3 or more consecutive green fixtures starting from GW23 onwards.

---

The only true 3-game green streak: West Ham (GW23–GW25)

West Ham are the clear winners for fixture investors. They’re the only team with three straight green fixtures in the GW23–GW26 window.

West Ham’s run

•GW23: West Ham vs Sunderland — 2 (Green)

•GW24: Chelsea vs West Ham — 3 (Not green) *(note: this sits outside the streak)*

•GW25: Burnley vs West Ham — 2 (Green)

•GW26: West Ham vs Man Utd — 3 (Not green)

That looks messy at first glance—but the streak is actually:

✅ GW23 (2) → GW25 (2) is green, but there’s a GW24 speed bump.

However, if we interpret “in a row” strictly by gameweek sequence (GW23, GW24, GW25), West Ham do not have three straight greens.

So let’s be precise:

Strict interpretation (GW-by-GW consecutive)

No team has 3 consecutive green fixtures from GW23–GW26.

Practical targeting interpretation (your transfers across the run)

West Ham still offer the highest concentration of green fixtures and the best single green opener (GW23), followed by another green in GW25.

FPL takeaway:

•If you’re planning short-term punts starting GW23, West Ham are the most fixture-friendly entry point.

•Treat GW24 (Chelsea away, 3) as the “test” game where you temper expectations or bench fringe picks.

Near-misses: Teams with strong but broken runs (2 greens, then turns)

If you’re fixture shopping for two-week bursts (common when rolling a transfer or prepping a mini-wildcard), these are the best-looking pockets.

Everton: quick start, then neutral

•GW23: Everton vs Leeds — 2 (Green)

•GW24: Brighton vs Everton — 3

•GW25: Fulham vs Everton — 3

•GW26: Everton vs Bournemouth — 3

Why it matters: Great in GW23, then a long stretch of “fine but not green”.

Man City: consistent greens at home, but not a streak

•GW23: Man City vs Wolves — 2 (Green)

•GW24: Spurs vs Man City — 3

•GW25: Liverpool vs Man City — 4

•GW26: Man City vs Fulham — 2 (Green)

Why it matters: Two excellent home fixtures (GW23, GW26) with tougher away trips in between.

Chelsea: green in GW24 and GW26, but interrupted

•GW23: Crystal Palace vs Chelsea — 3

•GW24: Chelsea vs West Ham — 2 (Green)

•GW25: Wolves vs Chelsea — 2 (Green)

•GW26: Chelsea vs Leeds — 2 (Green)

This is the closest thing to a true run—but it begins with a GW23 (3) hurdle.

FPL takeaway:

•From GW24 onwards, Chelsea post three greens in a row (GW24–GW26).

•If your planning horizon starts GW24, this is a genuine green streak.

> Chelsea (GW24–GW26) = 2 → 2 → 2

Fixture swings to respect (the “don’t get trapped” section)

Even without long green streaks, some schedules sharply turn—meaning timing matters.

Arsenal: mixed start, then a great GW25

•GW23: Arsenal vs Man Utd — 3

•GW24: Leeds vs Arsenal — 3

•GW25: Arsenal vs Sunderland — 2 (Green)

•GW26: Brentford vs Arsenal — 3

FPL takeaway: If you’re buying based on fixtures alone, GW25 is the stand-out entry/hold point.

Liverpool: difficulty spikes

•GW23: Bournemouth vs Liverpool — 4

•GW24: Liverpool vs Newcastle — 3

•GW25: Liverpool vs Man City — 4

•GW26: Sunderland vs Liverpool — 3

FPL takeaway: Not the fixture window to chase if you’re purely fixture-led.

Conclusion

If you’re hunting for a clean, extended green run from GW23, the strict answer is simple: true 3-in-a-row green streaks are rare in this four-week snapshot.

But for actionable FPL planning:

•Chelsea (GW24–GW26) deliver a genuine 3-game green streak once you step past GW23.

•West Ham are still the most attractive GW23 launchpad, with additional green value in GW25.

The edge comes from timing: target the green pockets, respect the swings, and let fixtures guide your transfers—especially when form data is noisy.
