FPL Wildcard Thread 2020/2021

[Deleted User]

I’m going to hit it this week.

Looking for input on the best 4.5m GK option and the best 5.0m defender option.

I think it’s still McCarthy or Ryan. The idea of a Leeds GK interests me too but he didn’t look very good at the weekend.

Reece James is clear and away the best option at 5.0m but annoyingly not nailed on. Not sure what he’ll need to do to be nailed.

Tinkering again, I now have both Vardy and Iheanacho. And Leno in goal...fixtures are good and 5.0 is not a bad price but...might not keep any clean sheet!

I'm going Vydra, Nacho, Kane i think

Just can't get Vardy and Salah in

I’ve no City now, was going to keep Dias but I’m not bothered with Pep roulette from here on in.

Can't afford them or don't see the value in them?

munster87

Current draft is
Leno Forster
Coady Coufal Phillips Shaw Rudiger
Salah Jota Bruno Saka Lingard
Kane Vardy Nacho

Will swap Son in for Lingard I think before the deadline, waiting for him to drop

Leno is one mistake away from being dropped I would guess, he has been terrible.

Ye Kane and Nacho seem the easy picks, and every WC I done tonight has Vydra in it, think i'm set on the same

Why no love for Raphina, fixtures little tougher but as my 5th mid seems a shoe in. Think if Jota gets game time he could be 4th pick and prob worth the risk but a toss up between him and Madison,

Suppose I’m shaking it up on my WC but I could easily rue selling Raphinha. I’ve only had him since GW 25 and haven’t been disappointed.

I’m not really afraid of those fixtures either as I believe playing ‘better’ teams can give you more space on the counter.

But I’ve already sold him for Lingard and he’d cost me 0.2m more to get back in now.

Definitely wouldn’t put anyone off him.

Let's hope it won't be about DCL moment

Its Vardy OR Salah in every draft I have done.

Weakens too much to get both in

For those not planning on BB, are you still going with a playing 15 or looking at a strong 11?

I'd normally aim for the strong 11, but it's been that kind of season where it feels a lot more risky than usual. I guess cash isn't so much of an issue for most, so maybe the super-cheapies aren't as appealing.

For me, I've had a ****e season and team value is poor, so this is my latest draft. 0.0 ITB.

Mendy, Forster
Dias, Cresswell, Shaw, Phillips, Mitchell
Salah, Fernandes, Jota, Lingard, Reed
Kane, Aguero, Iheanacho

Aguero is a massive punt, but I've nothing to lose so why not? Could easily go for Vardy, or downgrade entirely and upgrade Reed.

ScummyMan

I’ve no bench boost left either. I’d love to get Aguero but he hasn’t shown a glimmer, just can’t justify it.

Mendy (Forster)
TAA, Dias, Shaw, Rudiger (Mitchell)
Salah, Bruno, Son, Lingard (Raphinia)
Kane, Nacho (Vydra)

Trent is a bit of a punt, but was struggling to spend the money further up the field

I like it I've very similar team and seems strong balance, but have Jota in for Raphina, even after I talked up Raphina on last page, and Mitchell I'll have a 4.5m Def maybe holding ATM.

NabyLadistheman

Mendy -- Forster

Reguillon - Philips - Holding - Rudiger - Mitchell

Salah -- Jota --Sterling -- Bruno -- Raphinha

---- Nacho -- DCL -- Kane

Plan next week then is to downgrade Sterling to Sonny leaving me with 3 for the DGW. I will then look to ship Reguillon for GW33 as they blank. I could just go with Son now and save the transfer but I will see, Id like to have somebody for the Leeds game. Mitchell I don't really care about and will be upgrading one other defender with the left over cash after downgrading to Son. I might not go with Philips so as to leave a spot for TAA. Bit of tweaking to be done yet!

ThunbergsAreGo

Starting to feel a FW line of Kane, Nacho, Vydra is asking for trouble. Likely two on bench by end of year.

Probably will hit the button today.

Current team
Martinez, McCarthy
Cresswell, Shaw, Dunk, Dallas, Dias
Bruno, Jota, Son, Mount, Raphinha
Bamford, Watkins, Kane

Early draft if I was to wildcard

Patricio, Forster
Azpilicueta, Shaw, Dias, Phillips, TAA
Bruno, Son, Jota, Mount, Neto
Iheanacho, Richarlison, Kane

Honestly unsure about wildcarding at the moment but I think there enough changes to make. Would prefer Salah in but struggling to fit him in while keeping son for the double.

Any feedback on if this is worth it ? Would go Mendy over Patricio now and maybe Sterling over son with a cheaper taa option.

When else would you do it?

Team is fine, id leave Raphina though, Neto won't score big

Sorry, haven't been paying attention but when are we looking at the next DGW? Not scheduled yet?

That's it I don't know when I will do it, team feels ok but this week is a bit of a problem.. would like to change Martinez, Watkins, maybe son ideally. Otherwise most players are doing okay.

I'd probably lose too much ground this week if I don't do it. I was thinking if I do , I could bring sterling in for one week as captain!

I don't think double Liverpool defence is a good strategy.... TAA has a high ceiling for sure but CS points are unlikely and the attack is misfiring regularly. I don't think he's worth it at that price tbh (I had him in initial draft but he's gone now)

Phillips would be for the bench. A 4m playing defender is hard to find. But I agree I've gone off TAA idea.

I'm still at a crossroads over whether I should do the wildcard or not tbh. Afraid that I'm just doing it for the sake of it. I do need a few out, bamford, Dallas, dunk, Watkins, Martinez McCarthy to name a few so I guess that is worth it. Will hit tonight. If I sell a player of value, it then costs me more to get him back even on wildcard correct?

Hard to know what to to there, Dunk, Martine and McCarthy are issues. if Watkins didn't have a DGW he would be an issue. Would be included to keep Dallas.

Also I wouldn't be rushing to get rid of Bamford - although very unlikely to make the Euro's - should he end the season with 20 goals - Southgate would have to seriously consider him. He's also in the last 12 months of his contract - so will give him incentive to finish the season well.

Leeds also have some favourable games towards end of season, and the way they play - Leeds won't be worried about playing city, pool or United.

ThunbergsAreGo

Pretty set on the below - any feedback on it

Forster - Schmicheal

Alonso, Philips, Rudiger, Shaw, Masuaku

Son, Fernandes, Salah, Jota, Mount

Vydra, Nacho, Kane

Hoping to target good Leicester/Chelsea fixtures

No TAA is an issue but might upgrade when swapping Son out.

Alonso is a risk but a fan risk, and hell likely play or not come on at all

1.2m in the bank, would Dias/Ederson be an option?

Mendy | Forster

Fofana | Phillips | Rudiger | Semedo | Dias

Son | Salah | Jota | Bruno | Lingard

Wood | Kane | Iheanacho

Looks good, all top 8 capable of double digits - a small possibility both your keepers are in the FA Cup final?

Forster/Schmeichal rotate lovely

Love the Wood pick, just cant stretch it

Yeah if you sell a player you have gained some value on and you decide you want him back it will cost you his current price not your selling price.

Drop Son*, small possibility he drops in price tonight, saving you 0.1.

* On the assumption you haven't owned him for a while.
