With the next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline almost upon us, we’re getting insight and team reveals from our panel of Hall of Famers and guest writers. Here, three-time top 500 finisher FPL General talks through his Gameweek 6 Wildcard.
Make sure to check out the latest 59th Minute Podcast, which will be dropping on Friday afternoon.
Good luck this weekend folks, especially to my fellow Wildcarders.
1 looks good
thanks
Deal with the injured player first. Get Havertz
cheers
Yeah 1. Bench ESR, his fixtures turn ok again
Thanks!
Is Arsenals second gk Neto? Tempted to do valdi > Neto and keep raya. If Raya is injured obviously.
Nooo and lost the second place on GK
lol you’re right, dumb idea
Would you do ESR to Semenyo with exact money and bench Pedro?
ESR has Man City after Forest away. Would like to bench for 2 games but have Pedro to worry about.
Yes I am (see below)
I’ve decided to lose Eze as Fulham and Bournemouth rotate quite nicely. Also frees up 1.4m to bring in an Arsenal defender or upgrade Pedro.
Got a soft spot for Smith-Rowe so it’ll be nice to keep him.
good thinking
ESR is a hold for me, 5.5 is really underpriced for him
Wildcard worries
Luis Diaz has been sitting in my team waiting for a double price rise.
The player I really want is Semenyo. I have no other midfield slots.
If Diaz rises a day before Semenyo, I catch two price rises and win.
If they rise on the same day, I am better off holding Diaz for the rise and buying Semenyo after. (higher S.p.)
If Semenyo rises and Diaz doesn't by tomorrow, I lose.
The question I guess is how much of this Diaz net transfers are late wildcarders
Sit and play the game or just get the player I want in my team?
Same issue here bro, and Saka/Semenyo are interchangeable.
I have no clue.
The price fixers don't make it easy do they
Did you hold steady?!
Neither Saka or Semenyo roses, whilst Diaz did!
I almost did it but didn't want to make the transfer on the dot and potentially make a move in a rush seeing the updated prices.
Nabbed that extra 0.1m (if I am to sell Diaz)!
Looking at the predictors that was the least likely outcome percentage-wise, lol.
Maybe it's a sign we should keep Diaz? 😆
Lol, don't make life harder
Got busy doing something and so held steady. High five!
Nice one!
The Hold Steady, great band!
i think there are a lot of late Wildcarders who were WCing next week/GW8 because Wolves defence down to the barebone and people are jumping Diaz as the Liverpool cover.
He play 60 minutes and is outscoring a 90-minute Salah!
Yeah seems possible that it is all wildcarders all week and the FTers are getting in more assured assets like Saka Mbeumo and Semenyo and Diaz doesn't even get his double rise
yeah i am not sure whether to WC are not yet or wait a week or 2 and WC GW7 or 8
Hall has been predicted to drop all week (have him), but it look likely tonight.
A) Sanchez, Palmer & Vardy
B) Rays, Mbuemo & Jackson
B
B
B
Help guys.
I didn't push the WC button, am I being too stubbon but the team looks ok apart from Arsenal. (Hall dropping too) was planning to WC7 but lost 1m in prices rises and falls.
Problems. Mateta might get rotated and Pedro is out, Midfield is OK (think Jota starts and dont want Liverpool too long term, but we might be underestimating them.
2FT 0 itb
Raya (Vald)
Munoz Trent Robinson (Hall Barco)
Eze Rogers Salah Jota ESR
Haaland Mateta (Pedro)
Do
ESR to Semenyo tonight is a given (sleep on it)
Munoz to Lewis
Or hit the button and go into GW7 with 3FT's
Cheers guys
Hit the button
Thanks
gonna do a quick WC. now
I’ve just doing mine (see post 2 down)
Eze, Jota, Pedro >>> Mbeumo, Semenyo, Havertz (-4)
or
Jota, Pedro >> Semenyo, Havertz
Worth to go for the -4 option?
I am not selling Jota, until we find out from a leak he definitely isnt starting against Wolves. He isnt a long term hold though
If not B and do Mbeumo (same reason although West Ham can't defend either?
On WC, with I’m really not happy with just yet. I have 0.9 ITB - please tear it apart.
On advice above I’ve moved Palmer out for Mbeumo to free up funds. (Enabled Raya & Jackson)
Raya, Fab
TAA, Gab, Konsa, THB, Greaves
Saka, Diaz, Mbeumo, ESR, Rogers,
Haaland, Jackon, Vardy
Few points I’m considering.
1. Is DCL over Vardy worth the 0.3
2. Considering Konsa to Cucu or Romero
3. Is ESR the long term pick over semenyo
I think if and when Everton gets Brainwaite back, they will be less gun-ho,
Nketiah will end up being first choice at Palace as Sarr is playing better on the right and Mateta hasn't done much so far, but he is tired/poor form. Or there is Wood, prefer Ndiaye at Everton
ESR may drop 0.1 or even 0.2 by the time his transfers change. I'd get Lewis, you have enough cover with Rodri out, should be the inverter in the easier games
dont like the Vardy pick at all.
I was looking at Nketia.
Vardy & THB to Nketiah & Lewis?
Nketiah is a punt i am thiking about and go back to Pedro when he is properly back after there run
Or play safe with Wood. I cant remember who THB is, but I like Lewis for the easier games
a real punt is Duran, if Villa go two up top?
Hardwood Bellis (4mil)
oh god no. Again when i do WC (no prices changes I can see tonight).
Despite FFH having 10 up and 10 down with their 99.6% accuracy every night.
I may go VDB at Brentford, but going Greaves. Davis take all set pieces.
I may hold one more week (not WC, if Mateta starts)
I like salah and Jota against wolves
Don’t do it, I went there on my own WC 2 weeks ago because he has nice fixs & while he played well, his positioning is a massive red flag, he’s a decent pick but his positioning means there are better.
Palace don’t look as good as the end of last year either, they sold us a dummy with that new manager bounce.
I would find a way to get Watkins in, he’s shown that he’s fix proof and under Emery is a 10m+ asset underpriced.
If no Salah he will offer similar heavyweight consistency.
People are overlooking this too much for players like Havertz & Jackson, both solid picks but neither are massively underpriced like Watkins (who now looks sharp)
we'll see if Hall finally drops in a minute, too late lol
I am praying the Raya starts. Cant be waking up at 2.30 to find out.
Not that it means anything but I’m 99.9% certain Raya starts.
He had a knock, it was reported he would be fine for the weekend, Arteta’s comments just reak of a response to the play acting claims.
Much appreciate your thoughts mate. Fingers crossed you are right lol.
Timber is the one I worry about because of his past injury but I’m sure he’ll be alright too.
That's my reading too. Arteta just making lame justifications for last week's panto.
9 days, 7 mins agoMartinez-Fabianski
TAA-Robertson-Van den Berg- Robinson-Dunk
Diaz-Mbeumo-ESR-Semenyo-Rogers
Haaland-Watkins-J Pedro
I have 1 FT and enough in the bank to do either
1) J Pedro > Havertz
2) ESR > Saka (But this mans 0 itb and carrying J Pedro for the forseeable)
Thoughts?
