Fantasy Premier League 2026-27: Sunderland picks for Ipswich

Sunderland’s mixed five-match run shapes the Fantasy Premier League discussion before their 2026-27 opener away to Ipswich on August 22.

Sunderland’s recent record is two wins, one draw and two defeats, with 10 goals scored and seven conceded across five matches. Their next Premier League fixture is away to Ipswich on August 22, 2026, giving Fantasy Premier League managers an early Sunderland fixture to assess.

The sequence began with a 4-2 defeat at Liverpool before Sunderland responded with a 5-1 win at York. They then beat Chelsea 2-1 at home and followed that result with a 3-1 victory at Everton. The latest match ended goalless against Manchester United.

That run gives Sunderland a varied form profile ahead of the Ipswich game. The team has scored at least two goals in three of its five recent matches, while the clean sheet against Manchester United was the only occasion in the sequence when Sunderland did not concede.

The results also show a clear split between Sunderland’s stronger performances against York, Chelsea and Everton and the losses at Liverpool and the draw with Manchester United. Those outcomes provide the main team-level context for considering Sunderland players in Fantasy Premier League squads, although the supplied information does not identify individual players, prices or recent personal statistics.

The Ipswich fixture is therefore the key date for early Sunderland planning in the 2026-27 Fantasy Premier League season. It is the only upcoming match provided, and it follows a run in which Sunderland produced both high-scoring wins and results without a victory.

Any Sunderland shortlist must be based on the club’s recent scoring and defensive pattern rather than named player data. The available numbers point to 10 goals in five matches and seven conceded, while the immediate fixture is an away meeting with Ipswich on August 22.
