Three-time top 200 finisher Lateriser reveals his current Wildcard draft along with his thought process for Gameweek 8.

FPL 2025/26 first draft team reveals: Triple Forest, Everton + Chelsea

It has been a while since I’ve been on a Wildcard during the international break, and so far I’m quite enjoying the slow drip process where I’m treating myself to long stares at the Fixture Ticker and extra doses of extended highlights which date back quite a bit on YouTube. 

As things stand, this is where I am at with my Wildcard team, although there are a few picks and variations that I am still contemplating.

ARSENAL

Arsenal's defence: An enduring obstacle or a false dawn

A good place to start is which three Arsenal picks do I want to go with?

After looking at their game against West Ham United and seeing the kind of positions Jurrien Timber (£5.9m) was taking up, is he even a defender?

He has the second-highest number of touches in the final third among all Arsenal players, which is also the third-highest among all defenders. He is also tied top for shots in the box with Daniel Munoz (£5.6m) and Riccardo Calafiori (£5.7m), and has the highest non-penalty expected goal involvement (NPxGI).

Timber and the defensive contribution (DefCon) winning Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.3m) is where I am starting, and when talking about an Arsenal team who have 50% of their goals from set-pieces this season, plus 40% of the shots they have taken from such situations, it makes it a comfortable place to begin.

Further forward, Bukayo Saka (£9.9m) has looked very sharp of late, and I feel like there’s a confident big-dog air about him this season. 

“When I grabbed the ball I wanted to take the penalty, so that was my thoughts at that moment. We’ll keep our conversations in house for now, I won’t say much more.” – Bukayo Saka

The first line from that sentence is fairly telling in my opinion, in terms of him being the decision maker (he’s also captain when Martin Odegaard (£7.9m) is not on the pitch), but even if we presume that he only has a 50% penalty share, it makes him a very good pick.

GOALKEEPER/DEFENDERS

FPL notes: Strand-Larsen injury update + 1

I have Nick Pope (£5.1m) as my goalkeeper, simply because Newcastle United are a reliable defence and Pope is a nailed-on entry point into that backline. They sit second for expected goals conceded (xGC) so far and I like Pope’s points potential as he’s good for clean sheets, saves and bonus points.

I also have Marcos Senesi (£5.0m) in my defence, who I don’t need to say much about as he’s still offering good value for money with DefCon potential, set piece threat and Bournemouth sit third for xGC so far this season. I also like the fact that they have no Europe, which will eventually come through.

Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) is also in my team. He’s competing with Chris Richards (£4.5m), but having looked at rotation, Andersen is more useful in the weeks I might need him to cover, and he also has better DefCon potential. While Richards arguably plays for a better defence, I do wonder about the impact Europe will have on their clean sheet potential, and if at all I am in the market to purchase a Crystal Palace defender later, there are arguably three better ones to get.

Joe Rodon (£4.1m) just offers great value and is useful on a Gameweek 9 Bench Boost.

    Better replacements here for Watkins + Mbeumo?

    A) Isak + Enzo
    B) Bowen + Saka

    1. FPL Virgin

      B.

    I'm literally the only FPL manager who owns Salah now.

    It's very worrying to back a player that no one else is backing.

    1. mookie

      Well, 1,2 npxG after playing 7 times 90.
      38,5% do own him.

        Small sample size.

          Career data is more reliable and that looks pretty good.

            Yeh George Bests career stats are great too. I think 600 plus minutes is more than enough of a sample size.

      You keep using that word.
      I do not think it means what you think it means.

        It literally doesn’t.

        He just wants attention.

          I just want to insert movie quotes and doctored song lyrics whenever appropriate.

          That's a bit unfair on Mo. He does promote a lot of good causes.

          The reply fail problem on this site goes all the way back to when Mark Wahlberg was Marky Mark and when Joe was Jonty.

      What was your expected attention (xA) for this post?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        0.54 per start.

    5. Salarrivederci
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Got him too.

      Should Salah start bagging some goals I’ll have a great season!
      Also unlikely to sell anytime soon (unless he is benched).

      My team is now setup for a 5-3-2 (4-4-2) pre AFCON, and I still think Salah + 4.5 def can outscore Saka/Foden - Saka/Pedro - Saka/Gyokeres - Saka/Bruno or some toget duo, but not as optimistic as a few GWs ago.

    When did LR12 become such a template manager?

    Didn't he build his reputation on being a maverick, especially when it came to the captaincy?

    1. Sir Michael Taker
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Was he doing Wire in his maverick days? Seems like they become more Tommy Template when they are in the spotlight more which is a shame. He used to be boom or bust but you probably can't bust and be a credible CC these days

      1. Tomerick
        • 12 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Which is odd because I would and did actually prefer watching people who were willing to take calculated punts.

        People are so caught up in the template but it is never the template that succeeds in the end.

        1. Sir Michael Taker
          • 12 Years
          10 months, 8 days ago

          Its all self-fulfilling at the moment. Template gets created, most of them follow it in the content sphere as do their followers so they all get similar ranks. All look like genuises etc

          1. Tomerick
            • 12 Years
            10 months, 8 days ago

            Yes there’s a certain one who seems to be getting increasingly desperate. He’s putting out so many stories trying to influence people into matching his team.

            Content creation has had such a negative impact on the game on the whole but there are still the odd couple of people worth following.

            1. The Knights Template
              • 12 Years
              10 months, 8 days ago

              Once the beautiful template has been formed we desperately need entropy, through the successful maverick players, so we can then form a new template! And so on! The Pro-Pungents no longer seek to do this, scared their rank might fall as well as their income stream.

              Plenty of regulars in here are in lurking mode and only post to highlight their players good weeks and the highly owned players they don't own bad weeks.
              Bruno misses 2 pens => no words, then insta update when he hits Defcon. Or mocking Watkins who's outscoring their Gyokeres since they did the swap.

                  Oh yeah. Plenty more that never ever posted anything negative about a player they own.

              Some CCs are still talking about Gyokeres pen share. First it was Saka holding the ball for him, now it's him taking the away pens. Even heard some say that Pedro whispered something to Enzo before taking the pen and therefore Pedro might be on pens.

        2. Sir Michael Taker
          • 12 Years
          10 months, 8 days ago

          Its mostly except for the future fixtures which is still a bit of a grey area after 7 games, reactive rather than predictive. Model says this based on this (that happened). Bookies say this based on where the money is going, based on recent form most of the time. Nobody is willing to stick their neck on the line and make predictions, I'd go as far as saying most don't even have an opinion. The models take that away and reduce actually decision making to a coin toss in most cases

          1. The Knights Template

            I predict Gnonto will come good!

            I am the guy to watch, FPL needs some new blood who aren't afraid to go off template.
            Follow current actual form and fixture not just out of form big names and past glory.

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      The wire are still old school thinking, the game has changed with defcon and less bps for penalties. 4 or 5 atb and 1 or 2 up front. The top 5 Defenders are out scoring all bar Haaland and Semenyo.

      1. MJF
        10 months, 8 days ago

        I agree with this. I feel that 4-x-x is gonna be the way to go. Only CC I listen to are Walsh and Alon, as they actually talk about footy and do whatever they want. Walsh has a back five in his team. I get the sense they have a lot of fun.

      2. GCHILD2K16
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 7 days ago

        This trend wont last. By jan or feb onwards normal service of def conceding without defcon points and mid/forwards earning more will result in 343 or 352 as best formation. WC next year so top def wont play as hard to avoid injuries and forward will play better to book seats on flight.

      A few bad seasons + the burden/curse of content creation I expect, seems he’s maybe playing with more fear than he used to

    4. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      The game has changed he will still do some maverick stuff during the season.
      Content creators are the same as the rest of us budget form fixtures after that anyone who has any knowledge of the game will pick the same 7-10 starting 11.
      The bit that annoys me over the last few years is I usually plan this stuff 4-6 weeks out and then it just get spoon fed to the masses. There isn’t really any edge to studying the game ourselves anymore hence my decreasing ranks over the last few years.

    5. Yozzer
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 7 days ago

      I honestly believe he's lost confidence in himself. Wasn't he copying Zoph last season certainly up to the first wildcard I seem to recall someone highlighting. He's always been very much all or nothing type player. I think he also tends to be different just for the sake of it like in a " look at me everyone" type of way. He's not been the same player for ages now and it shows in his ranks. Lateriser stopped rising. He's just known as "Late" now lol

  4. mookie

    Will Reijnders make the top 10 scoring players(GKs don't count) that started at 5,5m or under? How about top 20?
    25 players are outscoring him as things stand. 17 of those are defenders.

    Methinks no to top 10 and maybe top 20.

    2. RamaJama

      Don’t know, but the game requires you play some mods too, and Reijnders has had good value so far

    These pundits are absolutely stealing an income. Why bother posting two separate articles with WC picks when they're almost entirely the same?

      Two weeks of no EPL can do that to the site.

      Wildcard template is very predictable this GW given fixtures (e.g. triple Arsenal) and recent form (e.g. Saka, Gabriel, Timber)

  6. The Son-dance Kid
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Random thought to improve the team value mechanism.

    Example: I've had Semenyo since 7.0. He is now 8.0, and my sell price is 7.5. The problem with this increase in team value, is that it is in paper only. Quite often those that rise the most are season keepers (ignoring chip-mania in the last few GWs). Semenyo could rise to 10m but it won't help diddly with my

    1. The Son-dance Kid
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      *oops.
      ..with my ability to build a better team, as I am not selling him.

      Wacky proposal: my sell value remains at 7.0, but my budget has increased by 0.5. This way, I can actually use the increase in team value he has given me.

      This would be a radical change! Thoughts?

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Nope the current way is better it forces you to make a decision to keep or sell and if you don’t sell you don’t get the profit - better as it is.

        1. The Son-dance Kid
          • 8 Years
          10 months, 8 days ago

          The problem with the current system is it is all one-way. I.e a price fall is felt straight away, but the benefit from a price rise is potentially not reaslised for 10, 20 or even 30 weeks

      1. The Son-dance Kid

        Unless I sell Semenyo, I don't benefit from my increase in team value at all

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 months, 8 days ago

          I think there is too many things making the game easier as it is 5 transfer for Afcon that we dont need, double chips add changing TV rules to that we can all just afford whoever we want - how is that interesting? I still think a decision to plan to sell Semenyo for a few bad fixtures knowing you are pretty much losing the value not gaining it when you need to buy again makes it a tough decision but more fun.

    3. MJF
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Yeah I agree. In FanTeam you get the whole amount. It’s probably a better game tbh: no chips and you can amass as many FTs as there are weeks.

    Back in the day of only 2m players I once reached 15th in the world..... how with 10m, 11m, 12m players many semi pro and pro fpl pundits can no longer afford to be too radical else they may completely free fall their league position, status and reputation.... so they need to now stay with the herd. With all the data there is available even just using the FPL website I think their days are numbered and they need to find another job.... just my honest opinion

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Amazing.
      I once reached 191st in the world for the record haha.

      I think its a double edged sword for pundits, most will still be ok because they provide data and news, buy combine that with bad or good rank for a boost either up or down

      1. AAAFootball
        • 1 Year
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Both amazing
        My pb is top 1.7 K for challenge haha
        Or top 15 K for ucl which was more effort but lower rank

    2. theplayer
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      I finished 3rd in the world many years ago when it was around 3m players. To this day I've no idea how I did it. There definitely wasn't the info that everyone has now though so I guess that was a big reason. I remember captaining Drogba in GW1 who was a doubt to start because of an injury he had. Nowadays everyone would probably know he was going to start with team leaks etc but back then I just went with a gut feeling and he ended up starting and scoring a hat-trick. Never really looked back after that as I was already high in the rankings.

      1. AAAFootball
        • 1 Year
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Wow
        Did you get a prize

        1. theplayer
          • 12 Years
          10 months, 8 days ago

          No, back then it was only a prize for the winner. I was never leading and with a realistic chance of winning anyway but disappointing to still end up with nothing for finishing 3rd.

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        I remember this season well. I started with Drogba as cap as well and ended the season in top200. Captained Berbatov when he scored five goals in a DGW that season.

        1. theplayer
          • 12 Years
          10 months, 8 days ago

          Yeh that's the one. I remember it was Tevez and Berbatov competing for the golden boot.

    3. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      I don’t want to brag about the time I came 25th in the world from over 9m million entries. I’m too humble for that. I would never repeatedly mention that I came 25th, won the FFS members league, was runner up in LMS, and so on

    4. MJF

      They need to embrace being rubbish, while also having a unique take and some humour.

  10. JT11fc

    Which is better? Or neither

    1. Gabriel (3rd Arsenal def) plus Enzo/Estevao

    2. Saka plus Chalobah

    1. Ausman

      2, although Saka may have his minutes managed after the IB. He's only recently returned from injury so Arteta may be cautious.

        • 7 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Honestly not too sure on their attack, kinda like a Mourinho team atm, might leave it a week

        Thanks

    3. PremGem
      10 months, 8 days ago

      3 Arsenal defence plus Chelsea midfield is likely higher ceiling? But Saka and Chalobah might be a more balanced strategy?

    Who do you rate as the best max. 4.8 def?

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Slim pickings, maybe Richards, Diouf or a 4.1 Rodon etc

    2. zon
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Richards

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Richards and then Andersen, shame you don't have 0.1 for Guehi.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Could might find the extra 0.1 on WC. But maby enough with Sarr from cpl on BB GW9

      2. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Could get Chalobah if I change Reijnders to Stach.
        Or too much funds in defence, then?

        Pope Dub
        Senesi Gabriel Timber Rodon Chalobah
        Saka Sarr Semenyo Enzo (if fit) Stach
        Haaland Bowen Woltemade

  12. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Which WC?

    A
    Pope Dubs
    Senesi Guehi Andersen Timber Gabriel
    Saka Caicedo Enzo Semenyo Sarr
    Haaland Bowen Foster

    B
    Petrovic Dubs
    Senesi Guehi Andersen Burn Gabriel
    Salah Enzo Semenyo Sarr Rice
    Haaland Foster Guiu

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      A, Salah doesn’t seem to be worth having an unbalanced team for his price and output at this stage of the season

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        I am liking A as well, having withdrawal symptoms after years of Salah!

      2. Salarrivederci
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        I agree!

        I wish I’d setup my WC different in GW4 :-).
        Now I feel ‘forced’ to keep. Not too worried yet though.

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      A

  13. Sid07
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Bruno + gyokeres + Kudus to Saka + woltemade + Enzo

    1) yes
    2) No

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Looks nice but prehaps a little sideways as in they could all hurt you asap

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      No. Why?

      Bruno to Saka. Sure. The other two are just copying content creators

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Yes

  14. AAAFootball
    • 1 Year
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Keep Enzo on WC?
    And who is the best non ars/cpi defender considering fixtures as well as form

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Yes unless pressers say otherwise.
      Burn Diouf or Chalobah, everyone else is abit unexciting for me

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        This. Maby Senesi also

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Senesi, Guehi, Andersen, Lacroix

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Burn maybe as well

  15. Cruyff's Eleven
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Nobody seems to consider Kudus anymore.

    I'd like pundits to explain why Sarr is a better pick. I'm not convinced.

    1. AAAFootball
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Fixtures and sarr has really good numbers

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        So does Kudus. Perhaps corrected for the fact that Sarr was injured for 2 games his stats are slightly better, but absolute comparison goes Kudus' way.

      2. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Palace play Arsenal and Brighton away in the next 4. They are difficult fixtures.

        1. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          10 months, 8 days ago

          Correction. Brighton at home. My bad

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      I have Sarr and Enzo, but not Kudus. Is Kudus over Enzo or Sarr better? Or have all 3?

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        I find all 3 difficult, because I want Saka and Semenyo, plus I think Graelish is a nice punt but yes, certainly an option in a 352.

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 months, 8 days ago

          I actually think Rice is a pick as well at that price point.

          1. Cruyff's Eleven
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            10 months, 8 days ago

            Not over Saka, and double ARS defence

    3. CFC1990
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Fixtures are getting tougher for Spurs but I do like Kudus and agree with you.

        • 9 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Thankyou mate!!! That was my initial thoughts…. Might go back to it .. currently starting AC

      2. z13
        • 1 Year
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Generally a low scoring fixture though

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 9 Years
          10 months, 8 days ago

          Yeah I have same defenders and I'm benchboosting

          1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
            • 9 Years
            10 months, 8 days ago

            Great move mate!!

          2. PremGem
            10 months, 8 days ago

            Reijnders-> Saka for -4?

        2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          • 9 Years
          10 months, 8 days ago

          Yeah could be 1-1 mate for sure

    Are these strange moves?

      Not JP but not strange

      1. Gudjohnsen

        Would you go Bowen or Woltemade?

    2. LegoheadARTETA

      Not sure if worth 2 ft.

  18. CFC1990

    10 months, 8 days ago

    Who do you prefer on a Wildcard out of:

    - Mateta
    - Joao Pedro
    - Bowen

    Pick one

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Mateta shoots but can't aim and Nketiah isn't bad. Joao Pedro has worse underlying numbers than basically any random player with any threat. Bowen it has to be.

      1. Four Letter Wirtz
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Also,.with Fullkrug's injury there's at least clarity that the Bowen+Full experiment is over (it never looked like working awyway).

        I expect them to gradually get better whatever personnel/formation they end up adopting.

  19. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years

    Thoughts on this WC? No Semenyo. I don't think he is essential for the next 4.

    Raya (Dubs)
    Timber Burn Richards Andersen (Rodon)
    Salah Saka Kudus Sarr (King)
    Haaland DCL 4.3

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Don't like it. You need Semenyo

    2. Ausman
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Bad team, don't like it. Having Salah and no Semenyo is inviting failure, and good luck finding a 4.3 forward. DCL is rubbish.

  20. AC Pilkington

      Gakpo

  24. Vasshin
