Fifth of top 10k FPL managers yet to play first Wildcard

Roughly a fifth of the top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League managers are yet to use their first Wildcard.

Time is running out to deploy this chip as it is only active for the next three Gameweeks, disappearing after Gameweek 20.

Following the passing of Saturday’s deadline for Gameweek 17, 81.09% of the top 10k had played their Wildcard.

As you can see from the table above, 0.87% of them played the Wildcard for Gameweek 17, taking the overall total for the top 10k to 81.09%.

That means 18.9% of managers at this level still have it in their pocket, ready to deploy over the Christmas period.

Our ProPundit writer Simon March did an article earlier this week on the pros and cons of using the Wildcard later in the season and is certainly an interesting read. READ IT HERE.

Those that do deploy their Wildcard between now and the end of the year may well end up with squads that look a bit like the above.

This is the template Wildcard put together by those using it for Gameweek 17.

As you can see, the Brighton double-up between the sticks is the most-popular goalkeeper combination, featuring Mat Ryan (£4.8m) and David Button (£4.0m).

The most fashionable defenders in these select squads match the quintet considered the best by the majority of top 10k managers.

John Lundstram (£5.1m), Martin Kelly (£4.3m), Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.1m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m) and Diego Rico (£4.3m) are all the top five most popular defenders both for the top 10k generally, and those who Wildcarded for Gameweek 17 – in the same order as well.

There is some disparity in midfield though.

Sadio Mané (£12.3m), who assisted and had a headed goal ruled out for offside in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Watford on Saturday, is the most popular in both sets, in 87.4% of Wildcard squads and 85.8% of top 10k squads.

By contrast, Mohamed Salah (£12.2m), who has double-figure hauls in each of his last two Premier League outings, is only in 16.8% of top 10k squads, suggesting he can act as a powerful differential at this level from Gameweek 19 onwards, as Liverpool are without a fixture in Gameweek 18.

While James Maddison (£7.8m) is in 59.6% of top 10k squads for Gameweek 17, he is in 71.3% of the Wildcard squads at this level, indicating how popular he is.

The Wildcard users have also taken the opportunity to invest in the Spurs midfield double-up too, with considerably more vigour than the rest of the top 10k.

Son Heung-min (£10.0m) and Dele Alli (£8.7m) are in 56.3% and 42.5% of Wildcard squads at this level but are only in 51.8% and 34.7% respectively in normal top 10k teams.

The true power of these players for those further down the rankings is shown by how few managers own Son and Alli overall. As things stand, their worldwide ownership figures are 21.0% and 12.5% respectively.

Meanwhile, if Kevin de Bruyne (£10.2m) manages to return to usual FPL form against Arsenal’s then he could help arrest a slew of sales.

He may still be in 60% of top 10k squads but that number has been falling each week for some time now.

Furthermore, the Manchester City midfielder has been selected by just 37.9% of top 10k managers playing their Wildcard for Gameweek 17.

So far, it has been a disappointing Gameweek for the in vogue forward line of Jamie Vardy (£10.1m), Tammy Abraham (£8.0m) and Marcus Rashford (£9.0m).

The Leicester City forward was handed an overwhelming majority for the Gameweek 17 captaincy, with 71.2% backing for it among the top 10k, but arguably failed to fully deliver on his promise.

Despite finishing the match at the King Power Stadium with more shots on target than any other player, Vardy did not find the net officially.

He was initially awarded the goal for Leicester’s equaliser but was shortly after stripped of it, Tim Krul (£4.5m), quite rightly, accredited with an own-goal instead.

Meanwhile, Mané (backed by 18.6%) came in as a distant second, managing to outscore Vardy by one point.

As already mentioned, Salah’s big haul against Watford was especially powerful for those who captained him.

With the vast majority of top 10k managers getting 10 points for Vardy, a 32-point haul for the Egyptian will surely have propelled the 4.5% who captained him into the highest reaches.

As for the rest of the popular forward line, Abraham blanked in a surprise defeat to Bournemouth while Rashford awaits his owners in a meeting with Everton on Sunday afternoon.

A final word on the chips as 2.6% of the top 10 deployed the Triple Captain for Gameweek 17.

Our Scoutcaster and ProPundit Az also pulled the trigger for his enhanced armband.

Like many of those in the top 10k, the chosen recipient was Vardy, and, chances are, his Triple Captain backers were expecting a lot more than one assist against Norwich.

    Salah or Mane?

    1. Pinturicchio10
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Salah

      • Holmes

        Salah

      • davies

        Worth a FT to make the switch lads?

        1. Sicaholic
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I would say not smth to think about now. Consider after gw18. Someone may get an injury, form player can change etc

      • Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        The one who scored recently, that’s how it works isn’t it? Until Mane outshines him again, then it’s Mane.

      • Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Neither. They have a blank and then Leicester.

      • Duffy Dunk
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        None for now.
        Blank in gw18, LEI away in gw19.

      • Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Mane

      • Shatner's Bassoon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Pick one, stick with it.

        Mane hauled vs Everton + Palace then was Salah’s turn last two weeks.

        Marginal offside call away from Mane outscoring Salah yest. No need to kneejerk

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone knows when will be liverpool's dgw (vs westham)?

        Zaha... would rather Grealish

    5. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      In 9 years of FPL I’ve never had the problem of not being able to use my transfers but for some reason this year I just can’t get rid of them. It feels wrong. Is anyone else having this problem? Any guesses to why? Cheers DZ

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        You are taking this stuff seriously? FOMO?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Lack of options could be another reason.

          Personally struggling to make transfers due to this

          1. FirMinaMiMo
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Waiting for the manchester players

            Pogba...Kun...sane...laporte so that all may make a sudden ditches

        2. Yankee Toffee
          • 9 Years

          Quite seriously

        Share your team I'm sure we can find something
        It's a good sign imo

        1. Yankee Toffee
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I’m good, thanks. Was just wondering who else is having similar issues. Cheers

      3. ChelseaGuy

        4 years, 3 months ago

        Here too lol
        Maybe cz we already have the template and there's been no real changes to that

        1. Yankee Toffee
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I guess so yeah

    6. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      For the next 2 weeks only, best midfield combo for 18.9m?

      A) KDB & Alli
      B) Sterling & Grealish
      C) Something else

      Son, Pulisic, xxx, xxx
      Vardy, Abraham, Pukki

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        KDB and Martial?

    7. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pulisic was signed to fulfill the role of Hazard ....

      In FPL 😛

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Barely half the player Haz is imho

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          You're being generous 😀

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        He just disappears and you won't even realise. Its really tough to spot him for some reason and whenever I think its him in the box, the player turns out to be either Mount or Azpi... *facepalm*

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Lol

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        WC now... It's a super obvious spot to do it.

        1. Roy Rovers
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Why now and not after 19??

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Because what does 19 do for you? You're taking a hit now, you might as well do it now, prevent the hit, roll the transfer 19 and make a few switches in 20.

            1. Roy Rovers
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Was thinking it gets Lei v Liv out of the way.

              1. Camzy
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                It's not worth it because you only have 48 hours to WC. Not enough time to plan and react.

                1. FirMinaMiMo
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  It means we should not consider abut lei vs liv ....right???

                  1. Camzy

                    • 13 Years

                    It's one game. Anything can happen. It'll be high scoring.

          True, I can see 6 maybe 7 changes..

      1. Roy Rovers

        Fail!!

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Deulo or Epic ?
          😉

    14. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      1FT & 1.5 ITB - Worth a hit to get Rash?

      Guaita
      Aurier, Rico, Lundy
      KDB, Alli, Maddison, Pulishit
      Vardy, Mousset, Connolly
      (Hennessy, TAA, Robbo, Salah)

      KDB, Connolly > Rash, Grealish -4?
      Pulishit, Mousset > Rash, Cantwell-4?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure about both the moves you suggested.
        One thing for sure though that your strikers are way too weak.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Rashford Ings Jimenez all doing decent job atm.

        2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah hence the Rashford in move

          I’m ok with a nice 4-4-2 though - Tammy all of a sudden is now cold property, Ings is in totally uncharted territory (pretty sure he’s never played this many consecutive league games in his career without an injury),

          Jimmy has spurs, Man City, Liverpool in his next 5, with the other 2 fixtures away to Norwich & Watford... I watched both Watford & norwich’s 90 mins yesterday & they are anything but whipping boys now, both look to have turned corners

          So not in a MASSIVE panic to get 3 strikers, but it would be nice allright

          1. Amey

            B is the move then.

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Yep leaning that way allright cheers

              Will see how things go today, probably will do early as no midweek games

              Want to beat Rash’s rise & Pulishit’s fall (and inevitable benching/1 point cameo vs spurs)

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Ha ha
                One of the worst signing for me alongside Salah second run in my team and CHO

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Salah and Robbo out.

        They have blank and then Leicester. Just get rid. You can make up real ground here. Save the transfer in 19 and then bring them back in 20 maybe.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Sorry don’t like those moves at all - WOL, SHU are way too juicy to start booking transfers to move elite players out then straight back in 🙂

          Mo has just put up 58 points for me in 7 days - he’s back 😉

        2. ted mcnure
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Correct

        3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Although now that you say it...

          Salah, Connolly > Kane, Grealish with Kane (c) GW18 & GW19 is interesting

          It means no Rashford for another few weeks, and need to book GW19’s transfer to get Salah back in for GW20

          But Kane at Christmas, and with those two home fixtures + the armband, it might just have legs... let’s see Kane today

          Food for thought, cheers Camzy

          1. FirMinaMiMo
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Pogba incoming haha!

      3. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        2nd choice

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Divided by the countries, United by the hate for Pulisic 😀

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            😀

            Hopefully Kevin doesn't qualify for hate list 😛

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Fingers crossed 😉

      4. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        A decent haul against Arsenal and KDB can't be sold imo. Pulisic really has to go asap so probably option 2 imo.

      5. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Hard call I am looking at losing Ings for a hit to get Rashford but Ings could have a hat trick today and the fixture this week is ok.
        Bad fixtures after that to be fair.
        I probably rather A on balance but I am very reluctant to lose KDB myself

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          The thing with KDB out, as hard as it is to do, is that it really helps “team structure” if there is such a thing

          Option B leaves my default formation as 442, which is still fine as Lundstram, TAA, Robbo & Aurier are all basically mids... but KDB out allows Lundy first sub for his tricky upcoming run, and a midprice striker/midfielder in a 343 instead

          Need to see how KDB goes today, a blank, and he’s potentially onnthe chopping block I’m afraid - but then again don’t want pulishit in my team a minute longer either

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah got to watch KDB today and make a call.
            I am now looking at
            KDB and Tielmans to Alli and Martial for -4 🙂

    15. GoonerByron
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Unlike most, I’ll have a bit of a benching headache next week! Who to bench here? Have I got it right? Targett and Cantwell could score well..

      Ryan
      Lundstram - Rico - Aurier
      Son - KDB - Maddison - Zaha
      Auba - Vardy - Jimenez

      Adrian* - Cantwell - Targett - TAA*

      1FT, 1.1 ITB

      1. Salads
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Looks good, maybe grelish for zaha

      2. FirMinaMiMo
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Zaha to martial

    16. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Who to lose for Rashford:
      Tammy or Jim?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Wheels look to have come off Chelsea

        Wolves have City, pool, spurs in their next 5 plus away to resurgent Norwich & Watford the other two

        Still very tricky players to sell mind you

        Possibly Jimmy as he is less prone to hauling & more prone to ticking but it could still bite

        1. Bavarian
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Thanks mate...appreciated...

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Lets see how Jimenez perform. As of now, Abraham but he has slightly better fixtures.

        1. Bavarian
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers mate...lets wait and see 🙂

    17. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      TAA and Ings to
      Targett and Rashford and put C on Rashford worth a -4?
      Or is something like Tielmans to Alli a better idea with TAA to about 4.9.
      Also considered TAA out and Tielemans to Martial which would leave more cash for an Ings upgrade on 19.
      I have more value to lose on Robbo - was late gettning TAA

      Current team with C on Son below

      Guaita

      Lundstram Kelly Soy

      KDB Son Tielmans Traore

      Vardy Abraham Ings

      McGovern Mane TAA Robbo.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Selling Ings us a bad move.

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah I watched today he is really on it. Tielmans has been a disaster and probably deserves to go.
          If it was not not value loss I might go more radical and go
          KDB and Abraham to
          Rashford and Alli

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Scratch that as it requires a -8 🙂

    18. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Didn't expect Chelsea to come unstuck so quickly. Always knew the young squad wouldn't be able to cope with the amount of games but thought we'd be further into the the festive period before they got found out.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Jose May smell blood for next Sunday

        Things could get ugly for Lamps

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah absolutely, especially with the attacking intent we've seen from Spurs under Mourinho. That said I really do rate Lamps and the Chelsea project under him is extremely promising.

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Transfer ban couldn't have been lifted at more appropriate time 😀

      3. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Went Richarlison -> Pulisic after GW13. Absolute shocker but fixs + form were there for Puli.

        Prob my worst move of the season given how Richy’s done since then!

        Got to sell this week I think.

      4. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Looks like a 3-2 or 4-2 derby game to me.
        Neither can defend.

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Agree with this

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Nabs help me out with post above or below.
            Seriously confused right now and looking at 4 or 5 options and can’t make my mind up!!

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              I'm the same at this stage as there are too many unknowns at the moment, hope my post/reply on the next page helps somewhat.

          The statement Frank Lampard made after the City defeat m.

      6. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        In a pretty tough spot right now.

        Pope
        Tomori Basham Kelly Soyuncu
        Sterling Pulisic Nakamba
        Jesus Jimenez

        Bench
        Firmino Mane Taa Maximin(!)

        1 FT . 0.1M ITB
        Will have to take a hit surely. Thoughts??

        Maybe Firmino Maximin> Martial Calvert Lewin(-4)

      7. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Taking a break from early team news, if my news has helped you over the last few months that’s what it was all about, but can’t continue at this level so have to step back as there is risk involved, hope you understand, see you around.

        1. Whats the Mata?
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Mr. Fpl Rockstar.

      8. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Think I'm going to do Mane > Alli for the next stretch of 4-5 fixtures.

        Alli should outscore Mane 4 games vs 3.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Would you do it for Hit this gw & play Alli instead of Dendonker ?

          1. King Kohli
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Yes

      9. FirMinaMiMo
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Just benching pool players
        And hitting WC after gw 19 will be a rightfull one....

        If we tap wc at gw20 means ....we can drag that team till gw 25-30 ... especially liverpool except (vs tot nd man u) we can drag that players till gw 31 juicy fixtures ✌

        Worst case if we go for wc this week means
        1)can yu say friends any worthy mids ????
        2) at gw 19 again we have to select pool players !!!!!

        Does it makes any sense??? 🙂

      10. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Bench and captaincy alright for GW18? or captain jimenez over son?

        Guaita
        Kelly Lund Baldock Aurrier
        KDB Alli Son (c)
        Vardy Abraham Raul

        - Soy Donker Mane

      11. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Honestly don't write Sheffield off from 4th spot this season.

        Chelsea have too many games and too young a squad
        Same story with United, there is no depth in the squad
        As an Arsenal supporter all I can say is lol

        Wolves have been impressive lately but again, do they have the squad depth to keep competing in Europe and the League? I'm not at all convinced.

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Spurs is gonna take the 4th spot imo...Mou at the wheel

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            somehow forgot about them...they're looking good. The defence needs to be sorted out though and we haven't seen evidence of that just yet.

            1. Eleven Hag
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Mo will take care of the defense...they have already reduced the shots on targets and big chances conceded

          2. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            3rd spot

        2. lilmessipran
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I know Leicester have had a good start and look good overall..but their top 3 place is far from locked in with more than half the season to go..expect Spurs to give them a decent run for that

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I've been talking up Leicester since the start of the season, even had a Leicester fan on here disagreeing with how much I was talking them up. I have them well and truly locked in top 3 myself. Will challenge City for second

      12. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Is there any better C than sterling? May swap salah to sterling

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Vardy away to City’s high line with a 35yo aging DM at the heart of it, partnered by either a catastrophic Otamendi, or an unsure Stones, and flanked by two dodgy fullbacks in either Angelino, Mendy or Walker...

          Sterling is a bit of a different player this season, he’s playing out beside Pep on the wing for large periods of time

          1. Shatner's Bassoon
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Amen. Vardy or Son for captain IMO.

          2. Emiliano Sala
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I don't think leicester can do something big there. But city is going to give a powerful performance to prove themselves

            1. FirMinaMiMo
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Likewise ....what do yu think about liv vs lei????

              Will lei bounce back after losing to citizens!!!!???

          3. Emiliano Sala
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            And by the way, vardy has blanked big games this season. City is strongest and away.

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              He’s went 2-2-2-2 from spurs Liverpool Utd Chelsea

              Then he’s got 125 points in the other 13

              The thing is - Walker, Fernandinho, Otamendi, Angelino is not a Man City level backline, it’s mid table at best

              And city don’t know how to sit back and park a bus - they will pllay a high line and try to pin Leicester back, which will play right into Vardys strengths with his (and Leicester’s) pace on the break

              He’ll definitely get some chances, just a question of whether he takes them

              I find Sterling an odd pick, though he could do well

        2. Klein
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Sterling vs lei. No way

      13. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        53 points here with Guaita Son and Rashford to go.

        Should have capped Salah but anyway.

        My cup opponent only has 25 points also capped Vardy and has Kelly Son KDB and Jimmy to go. Going to be tight.

        1. FirMinaMiMo
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I m at 49 and my opponent is 48 .I hit a (-4) lol for this gw ...he has dunk and sterling to go ((my opponent is the man from mars)) lol

      14. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Not hugely feeling the Grealish love myself... feel like he has to do it all himself at the Villa.

        There’s Talisman Theory and then there’s “hope one guy dribbles around everyone and bangs it in”

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I sort of agree but honestly SOT/NOT/wat is just very hard to ignore.

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            NOR*

          2. Eleven Hag
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            both norwich n watford have improved now imo...

          3. Shatner's Bassoon
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            True plus he’s 100% nailed which is great over this period compared to the guy I’d be replacing with him (Pulisic) but as someone else has said, Norwich + Watford not quite whipping boys any more.

        2. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Havent got him in because its disrupting the current team and wud be wasting transfers to get back the current setup again - and hoping for his blanks in next few gws

      15. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Is Pukki an option again lol.

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          if tammy blanks again the pukki party will resume

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      16. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        How nuts is KDB and Tielmans
        To Ali and Martial for -4
        Would give me the Son and Ali double up, they could do ok this week and plain sailing fixtures after that.
        And leave 3 pool sit on the bench rather than move at least one this week?
        I don’t actually mind the moves it’s more the fear of KDB coming back to form and the TV value loss on KDB.

      17. FirMinaMiMo
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Here's my team !!!!!!

        Pope

        Son kdb cantwell ((pulisic))
        Vardy rash jimmy

        Bench :- 4.0 || aurier || soy || salah

        A) Cantwell into the squad ,,good???wht do yu think guys!
        B) Ditch pulisic to ???? (7.7itb)
