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
Start Gabriel or Kerkez?
Kerkez
If you're on a WC, why do you have Kerkez if you don't start at home vs Ipswich?
Kerkez
Pickford Fabianski
Gabriel Gvardiol Robinson Colwill Greaves
Salah Palmer Bowen Kluivert Nwaneri
Isak Mateta Marmoush
0FT's + £2.9m
A) Nwaneri > Eze (-4 + bench Kluivert)
B) Roll and play Kluivert
5mins WC:
Raya - Martinez
Gvardiol - Gabriel - Munoz - Kerkez - Livremento
Salah - Saka - Sarr - Rogers - Murphy
Isak - Marmoush - Mateta
0.3m ITB
Any suggested changes?
BB - 33
FH - 34
AM - after aboveMartinez/Livremento or Pope/Konsa?
Pope/Dinge fo me
Fair one Freshy….
Martinez seems expensive - could risk needing to transfer out later on. But if you can afford it and happy with the risk, looks good
Cheers again Biggsy….just looking for a DGW GK for 33 🙂
Looks good to me. I went for a late 5m WC too. Bit worried about Saka and Foden but seems like a decent time to have a punt on them.
Yep, much easier than spending a week researching, like I used to lol
Yeah. I was seeing less and less reason to wait. Particularly with Kluivert a doubt.
Foden or Palmer on WC?
Cole
Phil
Love a late pre-deadline wildcard:
Raya
Gab Gvard Munoz
Salah Saka Foden Sarr
Isak Mateta Marmoush
// Areola / Murphy / Milenk / Livra
Boringly template?
Can't fault it
Yep, cracked a WC in 5mins, just following the crowd, with a couple of non-templates 🙂
Apart from Foden. Yes
Who would you go with instead?
Rashford could be a decent punt?
True. I might give Foden the Leicester game then see on Rash.
Sounds a good plan…
Marmoush Captain, who's with me?
I am
Play Wissa or Elanga?
Who to bench?
A. Kerkez
B. Gabriel
C. Murphy
C
Wood > Mateta (-4)
Y or N?
WC31. Got Dango and RAN in reserve and also doubts on Kluivert and Palmer
Are we sure wood is out?
I'll lose quite a lot of money in him
Here you go, make a prediction based on the Forest presser
https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2025/03/31/fpl-gameweek-30-team-news-saka-more-live-injury-updates#forestHard to call. If you're keeping have to hope for no sub appearance
Who’s ya captain?
On Salah.Marmoush
Yep, why risk anything else…
Do i give into the foden fomo?
It's
Foden + khusanov + livramento+ konsa+ areola
Vs
Savinho + Gvardiol+ trippier + AWB+ Martinez
Think I'm going to be working until past deadline, should I do a quick template WC or just roll with this?
Sels
Munoz Todibo RAN
Salah Palmer Semenyo Sarr
Isak Marmoush Evanilson
Fab Bruno Castagne Mykolenko
Main issue is the defence I think (no Gabriel/Gvardiol) and Mateta, though Bournemouth exposure could be decent this weekWC takes 5mins atm….kinda follow the template lol
Sounds fun
Stick
You're pretty close to it anyway
Except defence
Denial’s WC above is on the money
Is Asensio worth the extra over Rogers or overthinking it / trying to be too different for no good reason?
Bench one:
A) Trippier
B) Gvardiol
C) Kerkez
D) Munoz
Cheers!Out of those, Trippier. Just.
Kluivert replacement, part 2:
A: Savinho
B: Rogers
C: Keep
Please bench one:
A: Kerkez
B: Trippier
C: GabrielCB
Thank you.
Palmer or saka
Palmer now, Saka in 33 I think.
Palmer.. Love the name by the way BEMBA_DA, LOL
Foden. Then Saka
Start Kluivert or Murphy?
Ive gone Kluivert. Murph first sub.
Exactly what I was thinking on doing but needed affirmation:)
Kluivert could be risking 1 point sub
Amy major cons to (C) Marmoush? Very tempted vs LEI
You go against Salah high EO
Most own Marmoush so don’t see much upside,
I’m tempted to punt on Foden which seems more wild
Should I bring Trippier in or save the money?
Depends what you can do with the funds
I have him, shown signs of being valuable from set pieces and bonus though I rate Brentford and benching this week
I have
Should I do a -4 to bring in Mateta for Beto?
just wait til next week
If ur going to do it do it in the next 20 mins
Do I NEED City players on a WC?
Yes
Atleast 3.
2 will suffice.
2 at most
Or play Pep roulette
Evanilson and Eze
OR
Mateta and Semenyo
I ve done a. So so unsure though...
Trent out, any cheap liverpool defenders who are likely to play?
Konate
Konate is a good option if looking at LIV defense.
Konate
Konate and soon Bradley
Any takers for Bowen over Savinho?
Bowe much better
Evanilson or J Pedro?
Evanilson
On a WC, choose one:
A) Gordon and Savinho
B) Foden and MurphyB
B
Can someone wildcarding and bench boosting in 33 please buy Soucek so I can claim credit when he hauls in 33 vs Saints and no one has him.
4.9 mil, 7 goals, 2 assists. Plays in 34 blank and has less than 2% owenrship. Perfect for a BB team.
WC G2G? 3.5 ITB
Unsure which manager I’m going with next week on AM but have 3 FT if I need to take out a NEW/CRY player to accommodate Howe/Glasner
Raya
Gabriel Kerkez Gvardiol Muñoz
Salah Foden Sarr
Mateta Marmoush Isak
Areola Murphy Rogers Livramento
I've seen a lot of AWB on WC...any reason why?
Saints in 33, plays in 34. He is cheap for BB.
BB33
