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.

        Didn’t he have Maguire & Auba?

    2. Numb
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I think if you look back at all these "Monitor" articles, you'll have the bulk of it - trying to get himself a few more price rises 😉

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Yep 🙂

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Made up of the 'Watchlist' toppers, surely?

    4. OldBenKenobi

      “Like many others here. GTG”

      DDG, Ryan
      Alonso, Smalling, Maguire, Lowton, Stephen’s
      Salah, Mahrez, Willian, Son, Groß

        Nice team. I'm not WC until GW33, but wanted to be a 'casual'.

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          This is Marks as per the last scoutcast.

          My team is way better 😉

    5. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Pretty much the same as every WC posted here the last number of days.

  2. FPLAdmiral
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Feedback really appreciated on this WC chaps. No FH, WC active and BB34 / TC37 Kane planned.

    DDG, Karius
    ALONSO, LOWTON, MAGUIRE, TARKOWSKI, Mustafi
    MAHREZ, SON, WILLIAN, GROSS, Salah
    VARDY, BARNES, Auba

    GW33 - Save. 2m ITB
    GW34 - Auba > Lukaku. BB, 12 DGW players
    GW35 - x3 transfers (-4). 9 players.

    By DGW37 I can have 11 DGW players and TC Kane.

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I really like that. I think Karius might be a very sneaky good pick...Moves are really good too.

      1. FPLAdmiral
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers, yeah I think he’s gone well under the radar.

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn’t be surprised if he opens up the stream and has Sanchez in his WC team 😆

  4. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Why do people prefer to BB in 37 ?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      More games/teams to choose from.

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        More rubbish teams with good games to choose from

        1. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          In theory...still not confirmed 😯

    2. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I'm doing it for a variety of reasons - but one is that I would rather continue to punt on exciting Arsenal, City and Liverpool assets.

      I'm focusing on the fixtures around the dgws as well. With some careful planning, on paper I should have 11+ decent fixtures each week (10 out of 11 in 35).

      FH34 - so I still get the benefits from 10 dgwers. Plus I can pack the bench with non-playing fodder that week and afford better core players like Hazard and possibly Kane.

      Also gives me 2FT going into 36 to get Kane in without a hit.

  5. Red Dagger ✪
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Bottomed...

    How does this WC look. I have no FH for 35 FYI.

    De Gea / Pope
    Vertonghen / Christensen / Morgan / Van Der Hoorn / Lowton
    Salah / Mahrez / Son / Willian / Miki
    Auba / Firmino / Barnes

    Cheers for the help as always.....

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks lads for the answers at the bottom. Yes Pope is a worry for sure.

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        No need to risk Pope on WC...

    2. Chazz69
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Nice team except Christensen and V d H to me

    3. FPLAdmiral
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Nice team but don’t like VdH - horrible fixtures bar 35. I played with Pope and Robertson but decided Karius and Tarkowski was a cheaper safer bet!

      Any thoughts on mine above?

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        See above. Cheers!

    4. Macam Dave

      Yep nice team

  6. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Which do you prefer?

    A) Walcott and Kane > Mahrez and Lukaku for -4
    B) Choupo > Gross for free

    Cheers

  7. Snikii
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Not having BB has allowed me to go with cheep 2nd GK,5th Mid and 5th Def. I have chosen to use the money to take Lukaku instead of Vardy for the next 2. Money well spent?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Would rather Vardy for the next two.

      1. Snikii
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        even if I dont have anything planned for the money?

  8. SkipperTG
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Guys:

    A - Azpi + Mustafi
    B - Alonso + £5.1 def (if so, who?!)

    Already have Lowton and Morgan.

    Thanks

    1. Chazz69

  9. Eo_K
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Currently toying with the following WC draft (BB34)

    De Gea-Ryan
    Alonso-Vertonghen-Morgan-Lowton-Stephens
    Salah-Mahrez-Özil-Gross-Gudmundsson
    Aubameyang-Vardy-Barnes

    Very similar to many, except for the Özil punt.
    If Kane turns out ok, Özil becomes Willian & Auba becomes Kane
    If not, Özil becomes Son & Auba becomes Lukaku

    I'm well aware Özil is not the most obvious choice. Main issue is locking in transfers. I was originally planning to bank one for solving injury etc. issues. How many of the WC32 guys going in with the 34 squad vs 1-2 locked-in transfers?

    1. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Ozil is a terrible pick. Rarely plays twice a week

  10. doublyG
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Last decision left to make for my WC team. Any help really appreciated:

    De Gea, Ryan
    Alonso, Bailly, Lowton, Morgan, Tarki/vdH
    Salah, Mahrez, Willian, Son, Cook/Gudmundson
    Auba, Vardy, Barnes

    33: Save
    34: BENCH BOOST + Auba -> Kaku + replace 1 dud/injury
    35: FREE HIT
    36: Save
    37: Vardy -> (T)Kane + Son -> Ki
    38: Panic

    Last decision:
    A) Tarki, Cook
    B) vdH, Gudmundson

    Looking for a one week GW32 punt before I WC in GW33. Got £5.4m to spend. Who would you go for?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      * Midfielder

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years

        Kennedy, Gudmundsson?

    2. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      5.4 itb or 5.4 player cost? Position?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        £5.4m player cost. Thinking Kenedy too

  12. Point-one short
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Think I'm close to decided on this wc team - any suggestions?

    Ddg, Ryan
    Alonso Vertonghen Smalling Lowton Morgan
    Salah Son Mahrez Willian Mkhi
    Auba Vardy Barnes

    3. Heavy Soul

      Tough. Masuaku may play one game?

  15. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Quaner -- Auba or is Vardy a better option?

    FH 34 so Auba is with 35 in mind

    1. Chazz69
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Vardy to me

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Even with no game in 35?

  16. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    What's the best site to work out points predictions for players? For instance, I'm currently assessing whether or not I'll get more points from Vert and a really cheap mid v a 4.5 defender and investing more in attack. I can estimate based on current form and fixtures but be good to do this with an online tool of some kind.

      1. TLF

        Really? How?

  18. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Last decision for wildcard:

    A) Groß, Alonso & Lowton
    (Groß ➡️ King in 34 to get Kaku/Kane)

    B) Groß, Bailly & Dunk
    (Groß ➡️ Gudmundsson in 34 to get Kaku/Kane)

    Have DDG, Ryan, Tarko & Barnes.

    If I don’t get Kane in 34 both these options allow me to do Kaku to Kane in 36 for free.

    Cheers! 🙂

    2. Dybala10

      Not now I'm BB in 34. Great enabler though.

    3. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I just ran a comparison between him and Albrighton over the last 2 game weeks, I know they differ quite a bit in price but was curious, no comparison, Andy King no where near. However, he is a nailed mid in a Swansea team with a decent double in 37 and great Kane enabler. If I cope with the idea of having him in my bench boost he could end up in my team. Only other time I'd field him is in 37.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        He's a decent option and nailed as you said.

    Silva or Sterling as the City option? Or Sane even?

      Sterling

      1. OldBenKenobi

        This

    2. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling - who knows what Pep has planned, but he has played nearly every EPL game he has been fit for. And capable of points of the bench.

      I have him in my wildcard team.
