GAMEWEEK SCHEDULE AND COVERAGE

This table shows how many FPL teams have players of a particular position from a particular team playing in a particular match of this gameweek. The percentages below are presented on an aggregate basis: captains are counted twice, triple captains are counted thrice, so that the numbers better indicate how certain teams affect average gameweek points. If you point your mouse at a certain number more details will show up. This table may be useful to assess coverage and what particular match result would be most welcome for your fantasy team, as well as to keep track of the progress of this gameweek.
