    I'm probably going to wildcard now already on a -4 and I still don't have sterling. My two worst seasons are the last two seasons . They are the only two seasons I held my wildcard past gw4.

    I always wildcard early. Served me better more times than not. If you know who you want now and have a strategy in place, why make your OR suffer any longer.

    Yea I'm the same. I think I've always used it in GW 3 or 4 and this year I'm no different. I'm on this at the moment:

    Pope
    Van Djik Zinchenko Wan Bissaka Digne
    Sterling De Bruyne Mane Martial
    Barnes Pukki

    Subs - Ceballos Lundstrum Wickham

    I'm going back to a strong defence and midfield and cheap forwards with 1 good sub who'll I'll rotate as it worked well last season for me.

    My wildcard team is basically the same except with Son, Dunk, Walker-Peters and Suyuncu for Ceballos, Van-Dijk, Zinchenko and Digne. I'm in two minds whether Son is worth all those downgrades to defence.

    lads, i'd really caution against playing the WC now. I see it every year, a scramble to get the early starters on a WC in weeks 2/3 only for those players to have shot their load by weeks 7/8 when the true season keepers have emerged.

    For me it's down to taking a few too many punts and if I hadn't wildcarded I'd be stuck with a few guys losing value and not Guaranteed starts despite medium values. Also built the team with planned transfers in mind which in hindsight was foolish

    I think you have the best 4.5 defenders there but they definitely won't outscore the likes of Digne and Van Djik. It all comes down to what you expect Son to do. Personally I think 1 of Ceballos, Trossard or Mount will prove better value over the season.

    The 1 striker doesn’t just sit well with me. It’s 2 transfers or more to get a striker who hits form.

    Is Mount more valuable then Pukki,King, Barnes etc... I’m not so sure

    I’d go with a Utd defender over Zinchenko.

    All said though I like the midfielder 4 & striker

    Thanks for feedback. Downgraded Salah to Mane originally. Now looking at downgrading Mane to Firmino which would give me a more balanced team:

    Pope

    Laporte AWB Digne (Lundstrum Kelly)

    Sterling KDB Martial Mount McGinn

    Kane Firmino (Greenwood)

    I’m just gonna drive myself crazy tinkering for next 3 days I think.

    Really like the look of that team.

    Very nice. How about ditching Ryan and TAA for Button and VVD to allow an upgrade of Dunk to Zinchenko?

    Not sure about Arsenal’s defence. And Maitland-Niles could lose his spot eventually so could be a transfer waiting to happen.

    Do you usually rotate keepers? I would just go with Pope and avoid the headache of choosing which one to pick.

    My wildcard team is currently very similar. We have identical midfield and also gone for Digne, Dunk and Lundstram at the back and Pukki and Barnes up front.

    I've picked Kane over Rashford as I think he is worth the extra money and wanted to bring him in over the first few weeks anyway. He is likely to be captain some weeks and my main league rival has him so it's good to keep pace there as well. Not sure I would ever captain Rashford.

    I've dropped TAA as I think the Liverpool defense is not as good as it was last season. As I have put more money elsewhere in the team I only have 4.8mill for this position and it is currently on Pieters but this could change.

    Also going for Zinchenko over Wan Bissaka as I think City will have more clean sheets.
    I'm sticking with set and forget Ederson as first choice goalkeeper as he has gone up in value and I still think he will be one of the top scoring goalkeepers over the full season. Only have Button on the goalkeeping bench because he is 4mill.

    It’s a tough one. I like your double up of City mids, I like Kane, the only thing I don’t like is Firmino.

    He just isn’t explosive enough FF wise (I could be wrong). But the way I see it, Mane outscores him by 70 points last year & is 2mill more. That’s a lot of points for 2mil IMO.

    I think there is value in the budget defenders pre Xmas so I think you should make a call on only 2 premium defenders and utilize the cash up further.

    That’s what I would do personally

    Yep I like to rotate keepers. Pope and Ryan give me a keeper with a home match every week

    Agree ré kane só I've swapped taa and rashford out for dunk and kane

    Pope Ryan

    Digne dunk Zinchenko Maitland-Niles Lundstram

    Sterling Mane martial cebellos Cantwell

    Kane Pukki Barnes

    Happy with that myself

    Fair enough so. At least you have security if one of your keepers gets injured.

    Adrian instead of Pope

    Pope (button)
    Mina, Dunk, Pieters (Kelly, Lundstram)
    Salah, Sterling, Martial, Ceballos (Cantwell)
    Kane, Rashford, Pukki

    Thoughts guys?

    Surely if ye're going rotating keepers one of them has to be Adrian? 4.5 and playing for the best defence in the league from last season.

    Love the midfield, don't think there's much need for Rashford though when you have Martial.

    Maybe Barnes there and an extra premium defender ahead of Pieters or Dunk?

    Rashers was just a filler as his price was looking like rising...

    Would love to get Kane in the team for rashers, but would require some defensive downgrades

    Have heard from someone based in/around Burnley that Pieters was pushing Taylor before the season and his started strong. Dysch seems to value form and his loyal to his players.
