Monitor – Willian

940 Comments
Share

Our series of members’ Monitor articles on Wildcard targets continues this evening with an analysis of Chelsea’s in-demand Willian.

The third most bought midfielder in Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) ahead of Gameweek 32, the Brazilian, along with team-mate Eden Hazard, has been in fine recent form ahead of a favourable run-in that also includes an expected pair of Double Gameweeks.

With this in mind, coverage of the Chelsea attack appears a promising strategy over the season’s final weeks, yet with doubts over the forward set-up, many managers are looking to the midfield for a solution.

    Can’t decide the last 2 spots on wildcard:

    DDG
    Bailly • Tarko • __
    Mo • Mahrez • Son • Willian • __
    Auba • Vardy

    (Ryan / Barnes / Verto / Morgan)

    A) Groß & Fernandez
    (Groß ➡️ Gudmundsson in 34)
    B) Groß & Lowton
    (Groß ➡️ Ki in 34)
    C) Gudmundsson & Mustafi
    (Mustafi ➡️ 4.5m def in 34)

    The GW34 transfer is the enabling transfer for Kaku/Kane.

    Appreciate your thoughts! 🙂

      I favour WC32, FH34, TC Salah, BB37.

      Ultimately though, the best choice will be determined by the players you have, the players you want, your team value and your attitude to risk.

      Plus how much planning you are willing to do.

      Personally, I've went with Vardy, Auba & Lukaku. Yes my defence is slightly weak but Lukaku I think is a must for GW32 & GW34, Vardy has solid fixtures including a good double GW and Auba has cracking fixtures in both GW32&33. So if Kane is fit I'll swap out Auba plus another for him in GW34 however if I'm not convinced I won't bother.

        Or one of the idiots that used the ‘free hit’ thinking it was a ‘free transfer’

    WC team for 34TC, 35FH and 37BB

    De Gea//Darlow
    Christensen//Robertson//Simpson//VanDerHoorn//Yedlin
    Salah//Mahrez//Son//Stanislas//Kenedy
    Aubameyang//Vardy//Jesus

    With Stan to ?(maybe Young) and Jesus to Lukaku for 34.

    Leaves me high budget up top to deal with Aguero and Kane for 37 as necessary.

      Blimey. I kind of like this but we are not that explosive. Will hurt too much when we draw 0-0 at soton

        I'm considering it as not many seem to have hazard and I don't wanna miss out on willian if he does well as it will hurt alot.

      Too much Hazard over priced for what he has delivered this year.

      Lots of choice in mid - Mahrez Son Arnie Miki - get them and use cash elsewhere on your team.

      Ideally both but since you have Mkhitaryan I would go for Lukaku.
