Assessing Callum Wilson’s FPL appeal as a £7.5m forward in 2021/22

Callum Wilson (£7.5m) comes into the 2021/22 season as one of several promising mid-priced forwards between £7.0m and £8.5m.

As Fantasy Premier League managers look to this bracket for their savings in a campaign set to center around very expensive midfielders, we have examined Wilson’s appeal since joining Newcastle.

    Wish there was a separate topic for euro fantasy

      Yeah it is like flicking between two similar languages. Hard work on the brain!

      Agreed. Hope they get it done ASAP!

      Cutting down on the number of Euro articles on gameday would also help.

    And just like that, Salah has been blocked from playing in the Olympics. He says in our boring old drafts

      Just right

      Egypt under 23’s aren’t exactly where Liverpool want their star multi-million pound asset focusing his efforts tbf

    Thoughts? 0.5 ITB:

    Sanchez / Foster

    TAA / Digne / Fofana / Ayling / Coady

    Salah / Fernandes / Raphinha / Sarr / Moder

    DCL / Antonio / Watkins

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years

      I don’t get the love for sarr
      Good other than that

    Thoughts on targett for start of the season?
    First 3 look tasty

      Locked in for me

      He is an option alright on my watchlist. I went for Tierney instead though as I think he has more attacking threat.

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Awful fixtures
        City and chelsea first 3
        Villa is in same level as arsenal tbh

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 14 Years

          You say that but ignore the City and Chelsea fixtures - Tierney has 6 nice enough fixtures out of the first nine games.
          Gameweek 4-7 Villa have a horrible run.

        2. Dr. Rog
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Thats not actually true. the underlying stats say that arsenal are a cut above villa defensively. Arsenal fixtures outside of 2&3 are really good - Tierney is not a bad option by any means

    3. ivantys

      Good pick but won't play him from 4-7 and not wasting a transfer on a defender this early.

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Everton H gw 5 is also good.
        4 in 5 is great imo

        1. ivantys
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Given the way they shipped goals towards the end of last season, I wouldn't be touching their defence

          1. Dr. Rog
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Buendia is going to make Villas defence a no-go probably, but light up their attacking potential

    Best 4.5 mid other than bissouma?

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Take Bissouma else you will lose money on other 4.5s.

      1. Emiliano Sala

        I need two 😀
        Playing 433

        1. ivantys
          • 3 Years

          I see 😀 Luiz probably then.

          Pick one of the promoted teams 4.5's

    This is a question for Watford fans/or people who closely follow them.

    Is Joao Pedro likely to start most games? Because I noticed he can play as the lone forward or on the wings. I figured even if Watford do make a big signing or two in the forwards he still should get minutes. At 5.5m he is a nice bench player value who could be handy to have as Watford's fixtures do not look all that bad for the first 10 games.

    The reason I ask is because I came up with this team.

    I went for balance and a few rotation options.

    Sanchez (Foster)
    -
    Tierney-Lamptey-TAA-Shaw (Omobamidele)
    -
    Saka-Trossard-Salah-Fernandes (Raphinha)
    -
    DCL-Watkins (Joao Pedro)

  7. Gabbiadini

    First draft, how does it look?

    4.5 | Foster
    Fofana | Lamptey | Aarons | Williams | 4.0
    Salah | Bruno | Grealish | Raphina | 4.5
    Kane | Watkins | Toney

    pending possible/probable transfers, Aarons & Williams.

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

      2 years, 10 months ago

      If Kane signs for City you are laughing.
      I don't know much about that Toney fella. Is is liable to be able to make the jump in standard similar to Watkins last season?

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        definitely on penalties, Brentford should play some attacking football.

      2. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        yes, I should have mentioned Kane in the last line, a probable transfer.

    2. St Pauli Walnuts

      I quite like it considering you've squeezed 3 premiums in. No TAA could be a concern though obviously, but then so could no of any of the 4 main premiums and you'd have one more than most.

  8. Emiliano Sala

    DCL or Iheanacho?

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      DCL then switch to Iheanacho if he looks like he is starting and on form.

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Different price points for the time being. So I dont see it as an or question between those two.

      DCL or Bamford/Ings/Martial
      Nacho or Antonio/Jimmy/Watkins/Wilson

      DCL start with good fixtures and then swings into Leeds.
      Watkins has the best first 3, then swing into Wolves.
      Those 2 are locks for me.

      Nacho/Antonio/Wilson all have mixed bag opening fixtures - impossible to predict which one will fire out of the gates. Maybe pre-season will guide us but I suppose Nacho plays for the best team overall.
