FPL Fixture Swing Planner 2026/27 - Best Runs By

Fixture swing is one of the cleanest signals in FPL. When a team moves from a rough schedule into a softer run, the best assets from that club often become transferable before the crowd fully adjusts. This planner shows where those run shifts happen, which teams are worth targeting now, and which pages to open next when you are planning a transfer, wildcard, or captaincy move.

How To Use This Planner

01 · Find the turn

Start with the gameweek window below and identify when the schedule flips from red to green.

02 · Pick the club

Use the swing table to see which teams are actually improving, not just carrying good reputation.

03 · Target the asset

Open the player and team pages for the clubs with the best swing, then decide whether the move belongs in your transfers or wildcard draft.

How To Turn This Into A Transfer Plan

Transfers

Use the swing table to identify which team you want exposure to, then open that club’s player pages and buy/sell pages before making a move.

Wildcards

If multiple teams are turning at once, this page becomes a wildcard shortlist. Start with the top two or three improving clubs, then balance captaincy and squad structure around them.

Captaincy

When a premium asset lands inside an improving run, captaincy becomes easier. Use the swing read here, then confirm the final call in the captain matrix and analyzer.
