With the next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline almost upon us, we’re hearing from our panel of guest writers. Here, three-time top 500 finisher FPL General talks through his Gameweek 30 Wildcard.
LATEST WILDCARD DRAFT
Bench & order right? On a WC:
Raya
Gabriel Gvardiol Munoz
Salah Sarr J.Murphy Semenyo
Marmoush Isak Mateta
(Martinez Trippier Rogers Konsa)
Thanks
Kluivert to Sarr and bench Wissa?
Yes
Yes
How many games is Dan Burn walking the suspension tightrope?
Till Newcastle have played 32 games ...
So into gw33?
What are people doing with kluivert? If selling to who?
Saka
Semenyo
Keeping. Ipswich is a decent fixture and those quotes sound flaky
Thinking of swapping mateta and kluivert for eze and Evanilson. Not overly keen though....
Getting Savinho or Bowen
Savinho is who I’d punt on
Sarr
If I’m already playing: Salah and Semenyo, which of the below would you start:
A) Dango
B) GakpoB
Nuts - j just switched him out…..
Think Gakpo starts?
Any Saka news?
A mateta and mitoma (bb32)
B eze and Evanilson
Cheets
A) Would you pick Gordon on wc even though he suspended this week?
B) is semenyo best kluivert replacement on wildcard?A) Yes
B) Not sure - what’s budget?
a) Yes if you might bench your Newcastle mid anyway
b) No, i'd stick with Kluivert if you want a BOU mid, but tbh I wouldn't have either
Should I use AM chip this week?
I'm holding so I can use it on GW 31, 32 and 33
On a WC, would you pick Foden against LEI as a placeholder for Saka in GW33 (possibly switching to Palmer next wk against IPS) or just start with Palmer this week against Spurs?
Neither, Saka and not have a booked transfer
Bah, bottomed, thoughts on last three slots on WC please:
Raya, Areola
Munoz, Gvardiol, Gabriel, Burn, ____
____, ____, Salah, Saka, Savinho
Marmoush, Mateta, Isak
a. Eze, Murphy & Kerkez + £1.1m
b. Sarr, Gordon & Konsa + £0.4mA
But potentially with Sarr insteadYeah true. Lot of cash not being used though...
If Kluivert doubt is fatigue related, that also isnt good since they play tomorrow and then on saturday again, so even if he (unlikely) starts tomorrow, then most definitely misses west ham, another game where owners planned to play him
I only need him this GW before WC31. Certainly wouldn't have him on WC30
If you're on a WC, too much risk imo. If an owner, maybe worth holding for a punt
I am on WC, brought Saka instead
Good call imo
Deadline rp
Bench one
A: Konate
B: Burn
C: MunozB
B
Really want Saka to be benched so I can start Munoz
Does one prevent the other?
Next candidate is Trippier, and I think he edges Munoz
Which ARS def is better option. I have Raya too.
A. Timber
B. GabrielB
B
On a wildcard? Gabriel. More certainty for bench boost etc.
For a couple of games - timberOn WC
Start Trippier (bre) or Munoz (sou)?
I’ve gone Trippier. At home and the geordies should be in party atmosphere.
Has to be Munoz against Saints
Best second keeper to maximise BB 33? Already got Raya. Was on Sels but they don’t double until 36 so discarded him. I have seen people with Areola but WHU can’t keep a clean sheet and I have triple Palace, City and Arsenal.
I’ve gone Sels, regardless.
What’s the thinking?
Best defensive team in the league, imo. Doubled up with Milenkovic also. They should play in BGW34 and I trust them over virtually any other team in a single GW.
I’ll be free hitting in 34 anyway I think. I agree with the defence comment - I have Aina and Sels at the moment
Just gotta hope Saints don't score...
West Ham also won 0-1 at Arsenal recently!WHU play Soton
Martinez if you want a doubler, but its an expensive second keeperMy team vale for the first time ever is very good and I can pretty much afford any keeper
Martinez will require an extra FT after BB, Areola can stay
*to free up cash
Yeah this is why I am on Areola - its a transfer you don't want to need to make for the run in
Not FHing for GW34?
Villa aren’t great defensively either though. Tricky.
Martinez seems the obvious with a double
Don’t trust them defensively though
Wood > Mateta, and play Wissa over Elanga?
Start Mateta and Elanga.
I assume Evanilson on pens if kluivert is out ?
Yes I think so
On a WC, choose one:
A) Foden and Murphy
B) Gordon and Savinho
Would you use WC? Or save for GW31?
Sels
Timber Munoz Kerkez
Salah Palmer* Bruno Mbeumo Kluviert*
Isak Wood*
(RAN Beto Robinson)WC
WC team, BB and TC still to play. Top heavy in defence? Trying to pick some differentials.
Pope
Gabriel Gvardiol Munoz
Saka Salah Szob Sarr
Marmoush Isak Mateta
Raya Murphy Konate Milenkovic
Too big in defence?
Foden or Bruno?
Bruno has form but not fixtures, Foden has fixtures but no form :/ Really struggling to decide
Bruno. Foden has shown nothing and is a minutes risk. Bruno pens too.
A. Kluivert & Glasner AM 31-33 (Bench Kluivert for Murphy this week)
B. Sarr & Emery AM 31-33
Bench one!
A) Munetsi (WHU)
B) Dango (IPS)
C) Mbuemo (new)
D) Palmer* (TOT)
E) Wood* (MUN)
Bench another!
F) Timber (FUL)
G) Kerkez (IPS)
H) Williams (MUN)
I) Ait-Nouri (WHU)
AI
FPL Review spotted!
Most going for Livramento over Burn? Any reason why?
Burn has higher xGI per 90, higher xG per 90 and is more guaranteed a start…
Has 8 YC, could be banned for the double
Suspension looming
Burn is on 8 yellows
Suggestions here, WC
Foden+Evanilson
or
Savinho+Mateta
Raya, Areola
Gabriel, Gvardiol, Kerkez, Livramento, Munoz
Salah, Saka, Eze, Murphy,??
Isak, Marmoush,??Or any third option? 🙂
BENCH ONE please
A. Gabriel
B. Murillo
C. Wan-BissakaCBA
In that order
For real, no jokeThat's how it is. Nice to hear the agreement, thanks.
No worries. I like the Murillo pick
Howe as AM?
Sarr or Eze?
Sarr
Sarr
