FPL Wildcard Thread 2020/2021

CSF · 26-09-2020 10:57am

I ended up wasting .1 by flip flopping off Saiss this morning in a draft I was sure I’d finalised on before jumping back on at the last minute.

Martinez (Steer)
TAA James Saiss (Lamptey, Mitchell)
KDB (C) Salah Son Grealish Podence
DCL Jimenez (Brewster)

I only have one Liverpool player (TAA) and I'm not particularly happy about that, having none is a pretty big risk imo. Maybe Sarah for Auba?

I’d personally gamble with Sterling and then look at switching back to Salah in a few weeks if it doesn’t click.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 26-09-2020 11:04am

Lads thanks for the help, Saiss was a good shout and someone I didn't look at before! I forget the other changes I made but it's too late now...

Good luck everybody!

Ryan button
Kwp Justin Mitchell lamptey targett
Salah kdb son foden j rod
Jiminez Werner Brewster
All out attack for me.

tailgunner · 26-09-2020 11:09am

Went with this:

Martínez, Nyland
Robertson, James, Lamptey, Justin, Dunne
Salah, KDB, Foden, Klich, Burke
Werner, Jiménez, Richarlison

0.2 in the bank. Bit different to the original plan (3-5-2 with Brewster) but took the advice earlier in the thread that Podence isn't a good enough replacement for Jiménez.

I'm sticking with Richarlison over other Everton attackers.

Wildcard seems to be the thing that turns TAA into a differential for the first time in about a year or more.

He’s still like 44% ownership overall but not hard to see from here and Twitter that he’s now rare in teams that have a blank canvas to work with.

Dearg81 · 26-09-2020 11:29am

Good to see a few other Brewster owners here. I kind of had to gamble on him after naming my team "The Red Brewster".

For me, it was just the obvious move if you’re going 5 in midfield.

Considered it, but decided to wait and see where he ends up

He's been linked with Villa, Palace and Sheffield United. I think Sheffield United would probably be the best move for FPL returns but as long as its a premier league team I don't mind.

Delap may use up a transfer when Brewster gets his move but any points over the next couple of GWs could see a double rise, so I threw him in.

Any last minute advice is not welcome

Ended up with:

Martinez (Steer)
James, Castagne, TAA (KWP, Dunne)
Sterling, KDB, Son, Burke, Klich
Werner, Jiminez (Delap)

I’m a big fan of the late change.

Rikand · 26-09-2020 12:16pm

Thanks for the advice last night and this morning. Moved away from my strong front 8 but still didnt bring in Werner. Got delap instead just incase he steals a bit of game time and might score some price rises. Can then move to Brewster for a profit if Brewster secures a move away.

Stuck with my rotating keepers. My thinking is what if one of them gets covid. I dont want to be transferring keepers, so having two guaranteed starters means I wont be keeper less at any point of the near to medium term future hopefully.

Downgraded TAA to VVD. And I have 3.2 in the bank now, so money to play with if Werner does become an essential. Kept my 2 everton and 1 leeds. Zaha too incase he keeps his form and gets a move away. Ah sure look, it's only a bit of craic and it's impossible to own everybody

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-09-2020 12:23pm

I ended up on:

Martinez, (Forster),
TAA, Saiss, James, (Lamptey, Mitchell),
Salah, KDB, Podence, Greenwood, Foden,
Jimenez, Werner. (Brewster)

0.2m in the bank. Came down for me to a choice between 3-5-2 like the above, or 3-4-3 with DCL and Burke instead of Foden and Brewster. I agonised over that decision until the early hours. Greenwood is designed to be a one-week punt. I went with Barnes at the start of the game and definitely want him back for next week, but I figured since I had the funds, and seeing as Greenwood was so good versus Brighton last season, I might as well go this route.

Good luck, folks. At least we don't have to stress about this chip for a while now.

That’s a very nice team.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 26-09-2020 12:40pm

I’m getting a Werner fear. He’s in a lot of teams today against weak opposition. I dumped him after two GWs. This is the weekend he will go mad surely.

skippy15 · 26-09-2020 8:46pm

Wanted hold of the WC till next week, but too many fires and price swings for my players, let the fun begin!

thunderdog · 27-09-2020 9:01pm

Current draft (very similar to above now I look at it!)

Martinez Steer
TAA James Saiss Lamptey Mitchell
Salah KDB Podence Foden Burke
DCL Werner Jiminez

Players I would also like are Son and/or Rodriguez. If Werner fails against WB, I’ll downgrade him to Mitrovic and upgrade Foden

How’s everyone’s WC getting on so far? On a solid 15 points so far with the lads above. Can’t seem to get going this season

Abysmal so far. According to the bookies, KDB, Foden and Greenwood were ranked within the top 10 midfielders for scoring odds - I got nothing from any of them. Werner and Jimenez were ranked within the top 5 strikers - nothing there either, although Jimenez managed one in a way I suppose!

I'm not going to panic just yet. Have to hope this week was just a strange aberration.

On 15 as well. Pre-wildcard team would have so much more I'm not going to even work out how much more it would have been.

21 with 3 to go, so many with Vardy in my leagues

Dearg81 · 27-09-2020 9:30pm

Awful but my old team was just as bad. I'm still happy with the team I picked bar double wolves defence.

31 from 8 with 3 pool incl Salah (C) to come, but it's not like "I had Robinson/Bowen in my team all week".

Returns from DCL, Ings, Soucek, Lamptey. Son the main disaster.

Mike Ehrmantraut · 27-09-2020 10:58pm

The one highlight so far of my wildcard week is Bamford subbing in for Podence

skippy15 · 28-09-2020 12:36am

WC team
Martinez
Trent Castagne Lamptey
TAA KDB Mahrez Zaha
DCL Jimi MItro

Steer Bisouma Mitchel Justin/Taylor
No united but Mahrez/ Zaha should do job for few weeks, or could change them to Podence/ fernandez if downgrade cast, strange week for it

gammygils · 28-09-2020 3:04am

Just drafted this lot. Rather than trying to take hits to sort out my team

Martinez, McCarthy

VVD, Castagne, James, Mitchell, Lamptey

Salah, KDB, Zaha, Barnes, Soucek

Mitro, Jimi, Ricky

£0.0 in the bank. Only 5 transfers involved

25 points with only Martinez, Salah and Robertson left. Only Soucek, Havertz and DCL did anything. Have to put this weekend down to being one of those things. Would never have had Vardy. Haven't decided if I want to get rid of Werner yet, he is the only one annoying me. Bad enough Auba plays on the wing without Werner doing it too!

greedygoblin · 28-09-2020 12:44pm

10 with captain Salah, Robertson, Martinez & Grealish left. My previous lowest gameweek score in 16+ years playing fpl is 28. Wish i had another wildcard now to undo that one...

Will Grealish take pens this season? I've seen Wesley and El Ghazi above him in order. They got f all pens last season but this season seems like there is going to be plenty

Not sure. There's Watkins to consider too. Could also be ahead of Grealish.
