The best defenders for a second Wildcard squad

With the Gameweek 34 deadline looming, Fantasy managers who are deploying their Wildcard (or otherwise) will be mulling over the various options for the season run-in.

With that in mind, we have looked at several defensive candidates to be considered between now and the end of 2019/20.

To do that, we have made use of the wealth of data available in the Members’ Area and those subscribing can read on below.

      Nice, why not Mane > Salah now to save a FT?

      Pretty template but pretty good.

      Seems like a safe WC which is good if you want to protect rank with a view to a small-medium green arrow.

      1. ㅤRising
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I think mostly captains will decide the green arrows with WC BB35 strategy

    2. ㅤRising
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Template and good

    3. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      so benching Lloris vs Huddersfield?

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Same as all the others.

    5. All For One
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good but not sure about double Southampton defense

    6. Gringo Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Doherty to Boly
      Ryan to Foster
      Bednarek to Dunk

      and you are settled

      Its insane to have two Soton defenders

    7. buzzkill
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Almost identical to mine (see below), difference is my Gunn and Bennett to your Ryan and Bednarek.

      Good luck, really hope it does the business.

        Thanks a lot guys

    First time in two seasons (pretty much) I've not owned Salah.

    It feels... dangerous.

    1. teneighty
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Welcome to the dark side!

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      This - last time I took Salah out was on wildcard when he scored a hattrick.

      I’m taking him out again this week. I hate not owning him - he’ll be back for 36 though

  4. AF90
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Ryan, Foster
    Dunk, Trippier, TAA, Doherty, Valery
    Mane, KDB, Eriksen, Son, JWP
    Vardy, Jimenez, Deeney.

    Happy with this team but have £2m in the bank....how to spend it?

    1. bialk
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      KDB to Sterling

      1. AF90
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah obvious move but I’m behind so wana take the risk on a differential. Could get Laporte maybe?

  5. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    One huge lump of a punt for my wildcard...greatly appreciate thoughts!

    Foster Ryan
    Robertson Laporte Duffy Yoshida Valery
    Sterling Eriksen KdB Son Jota
    Lukaku Jiminez Deeney

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Go on then....what’s the thinking behind Lukaku?

  6. buzzkill
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    After much tweaking, here is your final GW34/BB35 template, feat a KDB punt.

    Lloris - Gunn
    Robertson - Duffy - Laporte - Valery - Bennett
    Mane - Eriksen - Son (C) - De Bruyne - Hojbjerg
    Aguero - Jimenez - Deeney

    Feel free to use (or rip apart).

      gtg

  7. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    A) Higuain for Rashford for -4?

    B) Start King instead and play 4-4-2 with Jonny, Bednarek, Duffy, and Perreira

  8. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Which one?

    A) KDB, Eriksen
    B) Sterling, Martial

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. bhh
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      A

    3. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers

  9. Dele
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Is -16 too much this week? Gonna win my ML anyway, worth having some fun?

    Fab, Azpi, Puncheon, Mane, Higuain >>>> Ryan, Duffy, Eriksen, Son, Jimenez

    1. bhh
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'd try and set yourself an OR target if your MLs are won. Mine was to beat my PB of 350k however my week last week took me to 280k so I'm trying to get myself into the top 250k (maybe even 200k!)

  10. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Let's talk Paul Pogba

    I know he looks out of sorts at the moment but West Ham (H) is the exact fixture he could do with. Still exceptional value, on pens, nailed and has a DGW.

    1. RyanC
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I think it comes down to the fact there's a number of better options at the price point. But fair play if he turns his current form around.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I'm considering him because I don't think there are better picks around that price. Having already owning Eriksen + Son + Jota, it's between Pogba, KDB and Bernardo(?) for the last spot.

        1. fr3d
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Mane?

        2. Nimby
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Martial could be a good alternative and cheaper too.

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I actually think United’s fixtures aren’t too bad!

      One of Rashford/Lukaku for me but would be considering Pogba if I’d kept him on wc at 8.0m or so-too expensive now.

    3. Boz
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Lost that consistancy from when ole took over

    4. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah no one is considering United assets it seems. Im also considering Martial.

    5. Forza Napoli
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      An opportunity it may be, but I'm content enough with my OR to only look at getting him in after he's actually got some points on the board, rather than take a massive gamble on him doing so.

  11. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Mane to Son for free this week?

    1. bhh
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, then try and switch back in 36

  12. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson to Murray for - 4? Will play him both doubles..

  13. fridge
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Think I'm finally there with 0 ITB and a low team value!

    Anything you would change here?

    Lloris
    Duffy. Dunk. Doherty
    Mane. KDB. Eriksen. Son. JWP
    Kun. Jiminez

    Foster. Deeney. Robbo. Bednarek

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Low team value? That looks about the same/better than my TV. Not keen on double brighton defenders... rather go with Ryan because at least he has save points he can pick up in 35.

  14. F_Ivanovic
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone that has a big lead to catch up, here is my idea of a differential team that isn't too wild.

    Ryan - Gunn
    TAA - Robertson - VVD - Doherty - Dunk
    KDB - Eriksen - Son - Martial - Jota
    Rashford - Aubameyang - Jimenez

    0.6 ITB for maybe Foster instead of Gunn.

    I'm almost tempted myself by this team after making it up.

    1. Nimby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      3 Liverpool defenders? That's pretty mental.

      1. Rihanovic
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        He said differential.
        There's much more value in triple pool defence.

      2. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I did say it was differential. Pretty absurd to call it mental though... I mean VVD and Robbo have the 5th and 7th most points in the entire game. TAA would be up there too had he not had a few injuries.

        They have incredible fixtures from now till the end and are all predicted to score the most points for defenders.

    2. Rihanovic
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Kindly please explain the reason behind each pick???

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        All of them are great players that could do well... and they're for the most part fairly nailed despite some rotation. I've seen some mental drafts with Sane, Moura and Llorente - these are silly differentials, where-as mine could reasonably do well.

        Particularly the United double up when everyone has gone away from them.

        1. Rihanovic
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Wouldn't call them silly but less nailed yeah.
          I see your point, good luck.

          1. F_Ivanovic
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            I'm not actually going for this team btw... I'm in a good position and don't need to go massively differential. I might go for the triple up defence though... that part is very tempting at least.

  15. wagner is king
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    which defenders are gonna score a brace over 34 & 35?

  16. Boz
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Vardy gw34 then switch to Deeney or Laca?

    1. Rihanovic
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      D.

  17. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    good to go?
    Any changes you'd do..?

    Lloris | Foster
    TAA | Doherty | Dunk | Duffy | Valery
    Sterling | Mane | Son | Eriksen | Deulofeu
    Aguero | Jimenez | Deeney

    thx

    1. Rihanovic
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ryan and Holebas
      For
      Foster and Dunk
      Otherwise lovely team IMO.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If I didn't think my team was template enough, the one above effectively has 14 of the same players. Gets my personal seal of approval.

  18. Luke2000
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Opinons on KDB over the double gameweek 35?

  19. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Settled, unless one of Laca/Auba gets injured later.

    Fairly template, but feel it's a good week to punt on captain.

    Lloris
    Duffy, Dunk, Doherty
    Sterling, Eriksen, Son, Mane
    Aguero, Jiminez, Murray (c)

    Foster, TAA, JWP, Yoshida

    Planning on Murray and Dunk > Deeney and Monreal for a hit next week. Plans might change but happy to take a hit to get rid of 2 of the Brighton players

  20. sunzip14
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Jota or Sane for 34&35?

  21. yer old da
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    A. Sterling and Hojberg
    or
    B. KDB and Jota?

  22. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Trying to crack into the top 10k again for a decent finish:

    Lloris, Foster
    Robbo, Laporte, Doherty, Duffy,Valery
    Haz, Mané, Son, JWP, Camarasa
    Kun, Laca, Jimenez.

    Give it to me straight, Doc....

  23. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Extraordinary uniformity in all these WC teams ....... do you not agree?

  24. SammoUK111
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Lloris + Kolas or Leno + Trippier?

  25. CHARLIE HULL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 11 months ago

    Trippier or Laporte?

  26. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
