            <p>Establishing <strong>which teams have the best opening FPL fixtures</strong> is crucial for <strong>Fantasy Premier League</strong> managers that want to get their season off to a great start.</p>
<p>Which is all of us, right?</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/ffcommunity_"><strong>Holly Shand,</strong></a> one of the best Fantasy Premier League pundits in the world, looks at <strong>Gameweek 1-4</strong> and analyses which teams have the <strong>best FPL fixtures</strong> from both an attacking and a defensive perspective.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Who has the Best Attacking FPL Fixtures?</h2>
<p>With the powerful and newly upgraded site <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/">fixture ticker</a> in tow, the <strong>first four gameweeks</strong> are under the spotlight. <strong>Which teams and players</strong> should you target for your FPL team?</p>
<p>This window of time takes us to the end of the summer transfer window and <strong>beyond the first International Break</strong>, which is always a popular time for fantasy managers to play their <strong>first Wildcard</strong>.</p>
<p>Here are the Premier League teams with the best attacking FPL fixtures in the first four gameweeks.</p>
<p><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screenshot-2021-07-22-at-16.17.38.jpg"><img class="alignnone wp-image-36637 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screenshot-2021-07-22-at-16.17.38.jpg" alt="best fpl fixtures" width="1538" height="1336" /></a></p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-west-ham-fpl-players/">West Ham</a></h3>
<p>It's <strong>West Ham </strong>who come top of our <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/"><strong>fixture ticker</strong></a> for good attacking fixtures. Over the first four gameweeks, only <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-leicester-city-fpl-players/"><strong>Leicester City</strong></a> should pose a challenge for the Hammers.</p>
<p><strong>Michail Antonio (£7.5m) </strong>carries the most interest here. He's scored 10 goals in each of the last two seasons and could be capable of a big season if he can stay fit.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-manchester-united-fpl-players/">Manchester United</a></h3>
<p><strong>Manchester United </strong>aren't far behind West Ham for best opening FPL fixtures. They have a number of new signings to tempt us into their attack too.</p>
<p><strong>Bruno Fernandes (£12.0m) </strong>is still first choice for me. He's the talisman and playmaker of the team, with those crucial <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/premier-league-set-piece-takers/"><strong>penalties</strong></a> in his locker too.</p>
<p>Plenty of <strong>Man United</strong> fans will fancy the double up with <strong>Jadon Sancho </strong>though. If they do start strongly you may quickly find yourself slipping in the rankings.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-32388" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Fernandes-3-scaled.jpg" alt="Bruno could benefit from Man United's good opening attacking fixtures" width="2560" height="1706" /></p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-brighton-fpl-players/"><strong>Brighton</strong></a></h3>
<p><strong>Brighton </strong>complete the top three, but they may struggle to find many suitors given the lack of attacking returns last campaign. They scored just <strong>40 goals</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Danny Welbeck (£6.0m) </strong>is perhaps the best of a bad bunch: he scored <strong>four goals in the final ten games</strong> of last campaign.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Manchester City</strong></h3>
<p>The current champions, <strong>Man City, </strong>have worked their way into the top five; despite facing <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-spurs-fpl-players/"><strong>Spurs</strong></a>, <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fantasy-football-tips-team-preview-arsenal/"><strong>Arsenal</strong></a> and <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-leicester-city-fpl-players/"><strong>Leicester City</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Their assets and performances are generally fixture-proof. <strong>Kevin De Bruyne (£12.0m) </strong>carries the most potential for <strong>goals and assists</strong>, although it might be a struggle to work him in alongside other premiums.</p>
<p><strong>City scored 83 goals last season season</strong> but the returns were very much spread across the squad. That's Pep's infamous rotation in action.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-31161 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/KDB-and-Sterling-1.jpg" alt="De Bruyne remains one of City's biggest threats." width="1024" height="683" /></p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Who has the Worst Attacking FPL Fixtures?</h3>
<p>At the other end of the table, <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-norwich-fpl-players/"><strong>Norwich City</strong></a> look like a side that should be avoided with their opening four fixtures. <strong>Teemu Pukki (£6.0m) </strong>started fast the last time the Canaries were in the Premier League among a similarly tough looking run of games.</p>
<p>He scored <strong>six goals in five matches</strong>, but the returns quickly dried up.</p>
<p><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fantasy-football-tips-team-preview-arsenal/"><strong>Arsenal</strong></a> and <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-leeds-united-fpl-players/"><strong>Leeds United</strong></a> also find themselves in the bottom three.</p>
<p>However, I'd still argue the case for <strong>Raphinha (£6.5m). </strong>Bielsa's side always play to the whistle regardless of how their game is progressing and he tends to be at the centre of most of their goals. Only five sides scored more than their <strong>62 goals</strong> last campaign.</p>
