2021/2022 Wildcard thread.

McCarthy (Steer)

Alonso, Christensen, Coady, White, Williams

Salah, Saka, Neves, Dallas, Glmour

Lukaku, Ronaldo, Auba.

Playing 3-4-3 most weeks - feel like if one of Chelsea lads gets benched, then there is a decent cheap lad subbing in.

It's easy to go from strong/expensive front line to cheaper than leaving one of Ronaldo/Lukaku out and then realizing you have to get them in.

Midfield, Neves/Dallas are based on last years returns - will stick with them for few more games and see how they get on.

Going against the grain with the Arsenal players no doubt, but fixture wise they are too good to turn down when they click.

I could have went cheaper in defense, but i just prefer to have the likes of White/Coady/Williams who are likely to always play with no question marks over their heads.

Perhaps, we'll see how it goes, Saka could easily had a goal/assist at the weekend, so not worried about him coming good. If you look at other teams being posted, they are similar bar maybe they have jota/greenwood over my Saka. I've gone for Dallas where some are going for Raphinha - to date there is nothing between them. Some are going for Gray, where i have Neves. And that's it really. I've gone 3 up top, whereas most are going 2 up top

Cheers for the input. I think Jota could be a great shout too but I’ve had Greenwood from the start and he hasn’t let me down yet. I don’t trust the Arsenal defense.

With so many big hitters getting the captain right each week maybe might be a challenge.

I'd go with Pogba, good amount of assists/bps so far and looks sharp

Thats a very balanced team and it allows you to do Ronaldo to Lukaku and Shaw to a Chelsea defender in GW7 if you want to chase the fixture swing. Id consider playing a 3-4-3 with Gallagher and Gray rotating into the team depending on which one has the easier fixture. Gallaghers stats have been really good and Gray is on fire right now, would prefer one of them than a Watford defender who is unlikely to get clean sheets. You know the risk with Torres but his potential upside is really good if he continues on playing as an OOP striker.

:) Good spot! Norwich/Watford defenders nicht good either way, swapped Omo/Duffy for Ayling/Livramento and Saint-Max for Pukki based on the fixtures, can't see Brighton keeping as many clean sheets no matter how good value Duffy is

I think Id go James and Semedo becasue its the start of the season and you might as well try to attack it. Probably a lot depends on who your benched defender is if James doesnt start. If you do get burnt by Tuchel its an easy switch direct to Rudiger later on.

Yeah I'm going 4 atb more than likely so I'd have a cheap mid or Livramento to sub in, not ideal but probably worth it for James' high ceiling. I like Rudiger but think he's just a bit too boring for me!

Thoughts on this team

Sanchez steele

Semedo White reguilon Duffy livramento

Salah raphina gray soucek gallagher

Ronaldo lukaku richarlison

I think its decent plus there was that news today that Livermento might play further forward with Kyle Walker Peters behind him. If that does happen I'll be getting him in myself on a WC in a couple of weeks

Thoughts on this? Have 0.3 in bank which allows me to swap Jota/Pogba for Antonio + 4.5m Mid over the next two weeks if needed

Ramsdale (Steer)

Marcel TAA Tomiyasu (Williams) (Livramento)

Jota Gray Pogba Salah Smith-Rowe

Lukaku Ronnaldo (Greenwood)

Sanchez or Ramsdale?

Tomiyasu or White?

ESR or someone else (5.4 or 5.5 if i swap Williams for 3.9m def)?

If it’s any consolation I’ve your 2 budget defenders & McArthur.

I’m looking at replacing Antonio& DCL & going with Ronaldo, Pukki/Hwang & 5.5 mid.

Plenty of options in 5.5 bracket & then a few around the 6m forward mark too.

yeah I get the fear of not owning Antonio, lots of people have sold him off the back of that red card but then he goes and scores a beaut of a poachers goal last night in Europe. He is on great form and difficult to ignore.

I own Greenwood and likewise am not sure what to do with him and when. So long as he keeps returning he's not going anywhere but Rashford tweeted out photos of himself in training yesterday so he cant be that far away from sharing minutes with Greenwood. It might be an easy decision in the end if Rashford returns circa GW7 when Uniteds fixtures get more difficult anyway.

Hi All,

Appreciate yer input on my wildcard team below

Sanchez

TAA, White, Marcel

Salah, Raphina, MacArthur, Jota, Torres

Ronaldo, Lukaku

Bench fodder: Gunn, Duffy, Omabamadeli, Street

Am I leaving myself very short?

I took out Saka and Gray for Jota and MacArthur earlier.

Was also contemplating Ramsdale instead of Sanchez but worried hed be dropped again for Leno and no second keeper option
