FPL Wildcard Thread 2019/20

extra gravy

Tinkering but not sure if I'll do it...

Henderson McCarthy
TAA Stevens Egan Lascelles Stephens
Salah KDB Grealish Traore Hayden
Aguero Auba Ings

3 fts to get 11 out for GW28...

It's tempting. Not sure if I have the balls for triple Sheffield United defence though.

Finally whipped out the WC.

Any thoughts on this wildcard?

Ryan - Button
VVD - TAA - O'Connell - Rico - Lundstram
Salah - Grealish - Traore - Perez - Hayden
Aguero - Ings - Jiminez

3.1 in the bank with 10 players available for Gw 28 I think.

Triple is overkill. I like the Enda Stevens pick though Take out Egan and put in Boly. I really like the attack.

Pulled the trigger yesterday and settled on this.

Henderson, Pope
TAA, Gomez, Egan, Stephens, Lascelles
Salah, KDB, Grealish, Traoré, JWP
Auba, Jimenéz, Ings

0.2 in the bank. Could also go for Aguero/Hayden instead of Auba/JWP but I want to BB in GW27 when JWP is home to Villa, so not sure.

EDIT: Went with Aguero/Hayden in the end.

Good shout on Boly, definitely one I want. Didn't pull the trigger in the end. Wanted to see how Leicester get on today and if the Lord has lost his place.

kilburn

Going with
Henderson McCarthy
Taa Gomez Lascelles Kelly Stephens
Salah KDB Grealish Perez Traore
Aguero Auba Greenwood

Just rage activated. Not taking any price drops on these wasters tonight.

threw together a team in 30 seconds
with so many cheapish defensive, mid and ings I am struggling to spend the money

See Ings is 90% towards a drop? I've taken him out for now

Eyeing up a GW27 or 29 bb now. Don't think the dgwk fixtures for smaller teams will be good enough so I'd rather take my chances with one good fixture. 27 looks good but a bit wary about Jimi and Traore with their fixture sandwiched in between their EL tie.

29 though...

Sheffield United home to Norwich
Southampton home to Newcastle
Wolves home to Brighton

Overkill you say? Would have been a nice haul today

Bleating Lamb

For those who haven’t played their second WC yet is there an obvious double gameweek or bunch of games coming up where it would make sense to use it?

After much procrastinating and injuries to Son and someone else I can't even remember now
I went in just there and came pt with this for exact money
Don't think I will veer too much from it
The 3rd striker slot (Jiminez and Ings are certainties) was giving me serious headaches. Vardy was the one I was looking at despite his form but he made midfield much worse so I seem set to stick with DCL.
Himself and Grealish were tricky ones. Especially with Grealish blanking. But of course blanking means a DGW again.........I will have no bench GW28 so he may yet have to make way. Was all set to go without KDB and go with mahrez but now I dont need the money and again it may be for the best.
Midfield options in the mid price range are thin on the grounD. spurs new boy may be the one worth a punt.........
so
Pope Henderson
TAA Boly Fernandez Egan Taylor
Mane Salah KDB Grealish Barnes
Jiminez DCL Ings

Full squad of starters will present headaches at times as will inevitably benching a double Burnely clean sheet but it will also help me navigates the skinny weeks hopefully

It may change depending on injuries but not much hopefully
Hopefully Kun gives me a good bye Hat Trick

km79

I mistakenly thought united had a blank in 28 (and I was happy thinking that )
But they don’t
So
Grealish and Barnes
Or
Fernandes and 4.5


Must
Resist

I was looking at a potential wild card earlier as my team is in a bad state and I had Grealish and Barnes in it. I like Fernandes but the fixtures for Grealish and Barnes are better and Grealish has a 50 50 chance of having a game in gw31.

Have a huge selection this week now !
I may be benching double Burnely clean sheet in my very first week

Porthallian

Current team is:
Henderson Stek
Robertson Soy Lund Rico Kelly
Salah Traore KdB Redmond Douglas.L
Vardy Ings Aguero

Bit of a mess. Especially in defence. 5 blanking next week and with Kelly/Redmond injured. Don't want Rico, Lund should probably go too.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on the following:
McCarthy Stek
Robertson Saiss Lascelles Taylor Williams
Salah KdB Mane Traore Hayden
Vardy Jiminez Ings

I know, defence is still very cheap, but I only need to play Robertson+2 others every week. Those 4 cheapies have pretty decent fixtures. Play 3-4-3.

If Vardy doesn't find form he's an easy downgrade to DCL/Wood and upgrade the defence.
Thoughts?
Or should I just make 2 changes and roll the WC?

Chesty08

Redmond not injured?

Edit: ignore read it wrong.

Hayden has only been used as a sub since Bentaleb was signed in the winter transfer window and Shelvey has also to come back from injury so it might be better to get someone getting more game time if you can stretch the budget.

I'm squeezing every penny as it is.
Could put in McCarthy for Palace. Seems a regular starter

Get Button instead of Skelenberg as second keeper, .1 cheaper.

Good spot. Didn't see that one.
Not much better value at 4.4m in midfield though.

Maybe keep Douglas Luiz or get Dendocker

Ok so at the moment I have:
McCarthy Button
Robertson Saiss Lascelles Taylor Williams
Salah KdB Mane Traore Douglas L.
Vardy Jiminez Ings

Could play Robertson/Lascelles most weeks with those fixtures. Wolves have a nice run too. Tripled up on them.

Holding Vardy for his nice run after City.

I think Doherty is a good shout for Wolves coverage in defence

Would need to downgrade 1.7m elsewhere to fund him
