FPL Wildcard Thread 2019/20

Checking in. Got two weeks to build some potential nice price rises from the likes of Connolly, McGovern and the entire villa team.

Players don't rise twice during international breaks. Don't even waste your time.
It's probably even more difficult for the lot you mentioned as many were closer to a fall than a rise, so will have to do twice the movement to even get the first rise.

Pulled the trigger Saturday finally found a draft I'm happy with but nervous going without pool attack

Gazzaniga pope
Chambers Pereira taa targett Kelly
Jorginho mount maddison kdb dilva
Abraham auba cilson
1.7 itb

Would be 3-4-3 with rotating 3rd defender depending on fixtures

Gazzaniga, Chambers and Jorginho are all traps, in my opinion. Best off sticking with Pope and sticking in a 4m keeper (McGovern perhaps). Arsenal just cannot defend and Chambers could be dropped. Again with Jorginho, the extra 0.7m will be much better spent elsewhere if you bring in Dendoncker. You'd have a nice 2.8m to upgrade your team then.

Exactly this. And you could be well on your way to a Dilva-Mane switch. I get the idea of a city double up but if it isn't Sterling or Kun I think upgrading Dilva would be the way to go.

Thanks fellas back to tinkering it is. Kdb taa auba and Abraham the only ones I'm set on so far. I'm nearly ok with a punt on chambers as arsenal look alot more solid when he plays and at the price it's an easy switch if he doesn't get a spot.



Is big at the back dead? Just threw together a team there and can fit kdb mane mount and auba in too...

Hi there, I'm on wildcard and like everyone I'm trying to forecast the best blend of teams to have.

A couple of thoughts that have been shaping my team :

Leicester's good run, I want at least one of their attacking assets and possibly 2.

Arsenals good run I want Aubameyang. He's 11 million though and I'm not sure if he'll experience some rotation once Lacazette comes back (currently listed as a possible return for the 27th of October) To be honest I wouldn't touch anyone else from Arsenal right now.

Chelseas good run I've had Mount and Tammy for a while and I don't see that changing. I was tempted by Tomori but his performance against Southampton didn't fill me with confidence. He's still young and has a few mistakes each game I feel.

Liverpool Many people are talking about their bad run but lets face it, with Alisson back in goal (most likely against Man U)it helps the Defense and is it really a bad run ? They face Man Utd A, Spurs H, Aston Villa A, MCI H, Crystal Palace. Probably the best possible time to face Man U, Spurs and Man City. I would like to keep Robertson and Trent but they are expensive. I probably have a stubborn streak when it comes to Salah and should really look at Mane.


The below are 4 options that I'm currently considering. I'd appreciate it if you could shred them and tell me where I'm going wrong/could look at an alternative.

Option A - Possibly my favourite option at the moment even though it does not include Aubameyang




Option B - No Aubameyang and only 1 Leicester Attack




Option C - Ticks most of the boxes but Silva instead of Sterling (can stretch to a 7.8 midfielder if I downgrade Rico to Reid.




Option D - Heavy attack up front but no Liverpool Attacker.





All thoughts appreciated.

I much prefer A prob followed by C
Only change id do is Madison/ Connolly- for a 4.5 m and a 7m type attacker Jimi/ Pukki/ Wilson at a stretch, also saves on 3 leicster which I think is too much

If I was on a WC I think I'd be looking at a Vardy/Jimi/Tammy front three

I'm opting for Maddison of Leicester instead.

My WC is currently sitting on:

Heaton
Boly Soyuncu Tomori
Maddison Mount Mane Sterling
Tammy Aubameyang King

Bench: Pope McGinn Lundstram Dunk.

Tempted to swap Sterling to KDB but gonna keep the faith

5 in midfield or 3 up front? Struggling to make my mind up.. Have decided on aguero over sterling

I'm looking at:

Ryan (McGovern)

TAA, Robertson, Chilwell (Lundstram, Kelly)

Mane, Sterling, KDB, Mount (Saka)

Abraham, CWilson, Connolly


I think I'm pretty happy with this, all apart from Saka. Any thoughts on a better option than him for 4.6m? With Lacazette returning I'm fearing it's a wildcard pick that's a transfer in waiting.

You are looking at playing one of Lundstrum saka or Connolly every week
As you said saka is likely to be a sub soon. Connolly could be too. So Lundstrum every week .........
Downgrade Robertson
Upgrade saka or Connolly
There are probably more options around the 6 mark in midfield than striker though so saka

If it was me I’d also downgrade chilwell to Soyoncu and get a cheap rotation going
Look at the fixture runs over the next 6/7 weeks and you will see far better value than double pool defence
I’d keep TAA though if I had him

Cheers, that's a little bit of the shove I needed on Robertson. He's done okay for me, and stubbornly been holding him but you're right.

Robertson/Chilwell/Saka/Connolly to
Tomori/Soyuncu/Cantwell/Jimenez

looks a bit of a no-brainer when you get over losing Robertson.

That’s infinitely better
I want Jiminez myself but means selling one of AAA so I’ll have to wait and see

I'm debating the following options now:

Option A:

Double Liverpool Defense seems like madness but I'm just viewing them as an extra 2 midfielders.



Option B:

A strong attack, with a reasonable Defense



Option C:

A slightly risky wolves pick in Jiminez, Lundstram and Rico rotate reasonably well.




All of the options above suffer from not having any Arsenal attack.

Option C, which is the one I'm currently leaning towards has no Leicester or Arsenal.

Any thoughts ?

Think i'm settled on


Pope, Heaton

Chambers, Pieters, Lundstram, Soyunchu, Guilbert

Salah, KDB, Sterling, Mount, Cantwell

C.Wilson, Abraham, Haller

I'd re-visit your defence/GKs

I'm struggling to see the plan for double AVL/BUR in the back 7. How often will you play 2 Villa or 2 Burnley?

Keep an eye on the negative price trends re. Cantwell and Salah.

I'd consider dropping to one GK, Cantwell to 4.4M and go from there. GL

Final decision comes down to

A
Vvd dilva Wilson

B
Matip traore auba

B and the spare cash.
Djenepo (Mane v2.0 perhaps!) could be an option in a few GWs.

Tierney for now is a wait and see, but do think he will be in alot of teams in a few weeks.

True enough but for WCers (with bench cover) they could "reason" that Kola played 90mins twice during the IB so Tierney plays this GW, Kola plays EL Thursday and Tierney gets in again for Palace at home.

Of course it's still risky (match is Monday and Kola has been back since Thursday probably) and it's an Arsenal defender!
