Fantasy Premier League managers are likely to find the best goalkeeper options for their second Wildcard towards the cheaper end of the scale.

We have been weighing up some key candidates for inclusion between now and the end of the season.

To do that, we have made use of the wealth of data available in the Members’ Area.

For that reason, only paid-up Fantasy Football Scout members can read on to enjoy our analysis.

Now that we are past the half-way stage, memberships are now available for just £10, so make sure you get the most of it while you can by signing up HERE.

    Absolutely fuming... 14 points clear of my mini league, and thought I'd make a bold choice and take a -8 in order to get Kane in as a differential...

    Mane + Higs -> Ramsey + Kane

    How that backfired eyyy. Proper bottle job.

      If you make trades before midweek fixtures not on FH or WC you've only got yourself to blame im afraid

      Justified if you had exact funds and a price rise/fall would have put the transfers out of reach. Tell me that was the case?

      As above: Big risk making transfers before midweek games. If you were going to be priced out then fine, but doesn't look like that was the case... live and learn!

        Yeah , dont like hits either, dont have wc but have been considering a hit or at most a -8 wouldnt hurt me in my ML too much ,but of course it has to have its merits
        Laca is my main concern but aguero is temtping and would be a lock for rest of season if i did get him for dgw35 or gw36. Cant get aguero without a hit unfortunately

      FPL Statistics has it fairly likely; Fix has it as very unlikely.

      Feel that Fix has been more accurate for WC price changes this window, but really you just have to take a chance either way.

      If on WC bring him in, in case.

    Done a lot of planning tonight for the last 5 gameweeks

    Wildcard

    GK Lloris, Foster
    DEF Robinson, Doherty, Dunk, Duffy, Kola
    MID Sterling, Son, Eriksson, Jota, JWP
    FWD Aguero, Vardy, Jiminez

    GW35, Dunk to Hollebas, Vardy to Lacazette for 14 players with a DGW on bench boost

    GW36 Lacazette to Firmino and either Sterling or Erikson to Salah or Mane- Triple captain

    GW37 ideally a City player in

    GW38 Win all Mini leagues.

    I haven't gone with Valery, I don't fancy the Southampton DGW defensively at all, I think 1 Kola assist will outscore Valery.

    The GW 35 DGW captain choice is a tough one. Aguero has a great record at home vs Spurs. Maybe Jiminez?! Is Deeney a viable captain choice as I could consider him over Lacazette

      The benefit of Valery is you can bench him without feeling too bad.

      The problem (if it even is one) with your team is that Dunk/Duffy/Doherty is your default bench option, plus one of the front 8.

      Always some good player/value on the bench. Not an issue for BB but could be for the few GWs afterwards.

      Seems like you want to take a punt or two? Constructive feedback - I don't like fixtures for MCI defence and think TAA could miss a game to Gomez/Milner. Also Moura would be a no from me, and Lukaku too expensive with better options available. Best of luck though!

        Chasing about 60 pts, Moura in since Kane out and should be more likely to score than Doucoure. TAA a problem though. Rival has Robbo and getting him in would mean "downgrading" Kaku to Rash.

      How long have you owned Brighton defence this season out of curiosity?

    Lol posted this as a reply - Hope for all of the WC holders out there.

    My rival played WC, FH and TC not long after Xmas to great effect to be fair, and opened up a 100 point lead on me. But have pulled it back to 3 points (rank 20k) and now it's wildcard season baby!

    Play the long game chaps.

    Run Hojbjerg as a cheap 4.4 mid with DGW, or get Deulofeu or Doucoure for 34 and BB35 and have benching headaches from there on in?

    Not sure anyone noticed, but Kane seems to be hurt. 😉 With the swap to Aguero, I'm now looking at this WC, with 1.1itb leftover.

    Save the 1.1 for now, or make some upgrades (but whom)?

    Ryan, Foster
    Robbo, Doh, Trip, Duffy, Valery
    Sterling, Mane, Son, Jota, JWP
    Kun, Jim, Deeney

    If choosing Lloris on a WC do you then really need Ryan considering Lloris vs Huddersfield probably equal to Ryan in 34 with just the one fixture vs Brighton's double?...and then considering that you are defo going to be only starting Lloris for the remainder of the season? Surely just get a 3.9 fodder alongside which then leaves you 0.5 extra to upgrade a Brighton defender to someone better in 35? Thoughts anyone?

      Ryan is for bench boosters in 35

      Lloris + Foster is the way to go.

      Bit more expensive but easier to rotate and Foster gets more saves

        Ty 4 replies, 0.1 off Lloris & Foster combo at present, unless Kun decides to drop tonight which does now look a possibility?

    Captaining Duffy is classic fantasy football scout sheep mentality.
    No sense behind it whatsoever.

      Looking at last 4 game stats I'm coming round to Camarasa is a must have punt which detracts from Brighton defence
