Teams with the best FDR in gameweeks 11‑13 of Fantasy Premier League: watch the players of Aston Villa and Tottenham!

After the international break, the battles in the English Premier League will resume, and within two weeks the tournament will feature three rounds in a row. That means the success of teams and individual players will heavily depend on how tough a schedule the calendar makers have given them.

In this article we will discuss three clubs whose schedule for matchdays 11, 12 and 13 of the EPL appears the easiest among all season participants, and we will also point out the top Fantasy players in these teams.

Aston Villa

Opponents for the next three rounds: Sunderland (home), Ipswich (away), Everton (home)

Unai Emery's team looks much more solid than at the start of the season. The newcomers have already gelled, on‑field connections have become more reliable, and the coach's ideas are being implemented on the pitch with higher efficiency.

In the schedule for the next three rounds, the Birmingham side face teams from 19th and 14th place in the table, as well as a strong Everton, which, however, is not as good away as at its home stadium. Moreover, against Aston Villa, Ipswich have looked unconvincing in recent years – 7 defeats in 10 matches with only one win.

Which Aston Villa players to watch when selecting a Fantasy lineup:

• Nicolas Jackson (forward) – price £7.1 million, points – 54

• John McGinn (midfielder) – price £5.4 million, points – 44

• Johan Manzambi (midfielder) – price £6.2 million, points – 40  

Tottenham

Opponents for the next three rounds: Ipswich (home), Sunderland (away), Fulham (home)

Roberto De Zerbi was rightfully named Premier League manager of the month in October – his team has progressed noticeably compared with the opening rounds of the 2026/27 season, and now Tottenham players can be reliably relied upon when picking your Fantasy squad.

And in the coming weeks you can do so with even greater confidence, as the Londoners will play two home games against teams from 14th and 15th place, and also travel to face Sunderland, who sit second‑to‑last in the table. It looks like at least a 7‑million point haul.

Which Tottenham players to watch when selecting a Fantasy lineup:

• Jan Paul van Hecke (defender) – price £5.1 million, points – 57

• Sandro Tonali (midfielder) – price £5.3 million, points – 34

• Omar Marmoush (forward) – price £7 million, points – 24

Coventry

Opponents for the next three rounds: Crystal Palace (home), Leeds (away), Ipswich (home) 

Frank Lampard's charges have lost 3 of their last 4 Premier League matches and seem not the best option to entrust your Fantasy “slots” to in the coming weeks. But Coventry's fixture list says the opposite – the team has two home games against the bottom‑placed side and a team from 14th place, and in between there is an away match against Leeds – a solid opponent but also one with weaknesses, especially in attack.

At the very least, Coventry's defenders can be counted on as bench players in your squads. But if desired, players in other positions can also be considered.

Which Coventry players to watch when selecting a Fantasy lineup:

• Jack Rudoni (midfielder) – price £4.9 million, points – 39

• Josh Dasilva (defender) – price £4 million, points – 30

• Carl Rushworth (goalkeeper) – price £4.5 million, points – 26

As we can see, the squads of all three teams, which, in our opinion, have the most favorable match schedule for the next three Premier League rounds, have enough players from various price categories to fill your Fantasy team with them. Whether to pick them is up to you. We only "highlight" promising options.

Recall that Fixture Difficulty Rating (FDR) – the official metric of the Fantasy Premier League, which assesses the expected difficulty of upcoming matches for each Premier League team. We wrote in more detail about it and about the analysis of the Premier League calendar as a whole in a separate article.
