Wildcard Thread 2016/2017

Mr.Prodston · 23-09-2016 06:15PM

I've spent approximately 5 minutes thinking about my wildcard all week.

With the amount of tea I'll go through tonight there's a fair chance that Barry could end up as my cheap 5th midfielder!

(Obligatory gif for mentioning tea)

--- KDB -- Antonio -- Sterling -- Firmino -- Capoue
Aguero -- Deeney -- Lukaku

Playing around with this. I've cut corners with the back four but delighted with front 8. Have enough to do KDB ----> Sanchez. Thoughts

Since you have Sterling already get Sanchez imo.

Prefer that the earlier effort.

I'm currently on:

Heaton (Pickford)
Williams Lovren Stones (Amat, Holebas)
Antonio Sterling Firmino Sanchez (Capoue)
Lukaku Deeney Kun

Haven't really ventured far from my original team last Monday, but here's my Wildcard effort (seems very similar to a lot around here)....

Foster (Jaku)
Vertongen - Baines - Lovren (Amat, Lenihen)
Sanchez - Firmino - Capoue - Antonio (Fletcher)
Augero - Costa - Lukaku

Probably do Jako - Pickford in the morning.

I hate having Costa in my team, could get Ibra but would mean ditching Sanchez who is essential in my eyes for the next month.

No rotating, no selection dilemmas, just 2 points coming off the bench whenever needed.

Shedite27 · 23-09-2016 08:09PM

BTW seeing a lot of Capoue in brackets. Are people really going to leave him on the bench for... burnley, BOURNEMOUTH, middlesborough, swansea, HULL?

If so, then you're likely never going to play him anyway so just save yourself .5ish and get a 4.4mid

Henwin · 23-09-2016 08:29PM

my wildcard team
Foster
Smith McCauley Collins
Capoue De Brunye Sanchez Antonio
Costa Aguero Deeney
Subs-jakupovic, gibson, kingsley, Barry

First one I've seen with a 3.9M defender. Thought there would be a few more.

Was gonna post to say Morgan > Holebas and query Moloney.

Solid picks. Have same front three for now.

Hopefully won't be ever playing him anyway so why waste the .1

sheroman01 · 23-09-2016 09:03PM

Thoughts on my team please? Only concern is that I'm probably thinking too short team with fixtures!

thewools · 23-09-2016 09:19PM

Pickford (Jaku)
Baines Lovran Evans (Amat, Friend)

Antonio Snodgrass Sterling Sanchez Capoue (unsure who to bench)

Lukaku Costa Kun

Any possible improvements? 0.6 in the bank.

Redo22 · 23-09-2016 09:42PM

Just did a quick wildcard:

Foster Jak
Friend, Amat, Williams, Pieterson, McAuley
Sterling, Capoue, Sanchez, Firmino, Chadli
Aguero, Ibra and a blank space...

Need a cheapish forward for 5.3 or under to finish off....Diomande or Kone or any other suggestions?

Downgrade chadli to someone like puncheon or snodgrass
Use the extra money to get a decent 3rd striker

Decent team, Prodl would be one I'd worry bout, he's not first-choice at the moment. Either him or Kaboul is the "big man" in the defence and I reckon Kaboul will get the nod.

Use the 0.6 to get yourself a keeper. Maybe Mandala if ya want to keep it cheap.

You're gonna bench a cheap striker anyway so I'd just go cheap as chips up top and use the .8 or whatever to upgrade a defender ("Pieterson"

to Morgan/Stones?)

It's been a real struggle this week.

The keeper situation at Hull could be about to ruin my team but I think I'll gamble.

Pickford, Jaku

Baines, Stones, Lovern, Amat, muck

KDB, Mane, Firmino, Walcott, muck

Kun, Lukaku, Benteke

Firstly, don't think I'm falling for LFC bias as a fan. I'm not. Mane and Firmino are there on merit.

I think my defence is a mess. Holebas impressed me recently but he could be injured.

I have so many options. I could downgrade Baines to Williams or Holebas and upgrade Jaku but I really wanted Baines.

I know I can have players I want in defence with current budget but I'm not finding a combo I like.

Maybe -

Foster, Pickford

Stones, Williams, Holebas, Amat, muck

There are a good few options / combos but not sure if I'll land on one I like.

Stones is also a selection worry with Kolarov startling centrally ahead of him recently but I do think Stones will cement his place sooner rather than later.

I'll have to accept it so. Thanks for posting it.

So looks like I'll go Foster and Williams over Jaku and Baines.

It's still speculation. But it smells pretty strong. As a big money signing for them it was always inevitable sooner or later. Jakupovic did well to hold on this long.

Ugh not sure whether to grab Pitchfork or Pickford.

keano_afc · 24-09-2016 12:03AM

Valencia/Firmino or Holebas/Mane?

Valencia/Firminio I think but if you can afford Valencia why not go for Baines maybe?

Watford do have some nice fixtures coming up though. I've ended up with 3 of their players.....Holebas/Capoue/Deeney

Really not sold on Capoue but budget won't allow me better (want Bolaise)

Rikand · 24-09-2016 12:14AM

Brought in McNair for Shaw
