Almost 10% of the top 10k FPL managers fail to use their first Wildcard

We take our regular look at the chip usage and player selections of the top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League managers.

This is our first article in the series since the deadline for using the first Wildcard passed.

Remarkably, almost one in ten of the top 10,000 FPL bosses (at the point of the Gameweek 21 deadline) didn’t use the first of their two permitted Wildcards.

World number four Michael Somers is among that number.

It’d be interesting to know why so many didn’t deploy it. Lack of a need to because of a hugely successful first half of the season? Or blissful ignorance of the rules?

Given some of the stats we have seen already on the make-up of the top 10k managers in 2019/20, it may be more the latter.

Since the deadline for Gameweek 20 passed, 2.34% have used their second Wildcard.

Around one in five have already deployed their Bench Boost this season and there is a similar usage of the Triple Captain chip, too.

Approximately one in six of the top 10k have used their Free Hit over the last five months or so.

Discounting the first Wildcard, 61.7% of the top 10,000 managers have yet to use any of their chips.

Around 15% have used at least two of their chips, however.

Approximately 50 of the top 10,000 managers have already maxed out their allocation, including the second Wildcard.

For those who have used their second Wildcard, there are some familiar names in the ‘template’ squad.

Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m) is the most-owned player in these Wildcard sides, sitting in 93.16% of the teams in question.

Jamie Vardy (£10.1m), Sadio Mane (£12.3m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) and John Lundstram (£5.1m) were also widely selected.

There was a lack of consensus between the posts, however: two of the three least-owned players in the template squad below are goalkeepers.

There are four differences from the Wildcard ‘template’ to the most-owned squad in the top 10k overall.

Raul Jimenez (£7.5m), Anthony Martial (£7.9m), Adama Traore (£5.6m) and Mathew Ryan (£4.8m) are the differentials of sort in the above graphic, while Nick Pope (£4.7m), Dele Alli (£8.8m), James Maddison (£7.7m) and Marcus Rashford (£9.1m) are the alternatives below.

Just over half of the top 10k captained the sidelined Vardy in Gameweek 21, although there would have been some Mane or Mohamed Salah (£12.3m) vice-captainers amongst that select group who emerged with a 16 or 20-point haul.

Looking in greater detail at the main candidates for the armband in the top 10k below, Salah was the only one who hit a double-digit haul.

As for how the top 10k are set up for Double Gameweek 24, the ownerships for a selection of the various Liverpool double-up and triple-up combinations are currently as follows:

CombinationOwnership
Salah + Mane5.82%
Salah + Alexander-Arnold13.3%
Salah + Robertson1.71%
Mane + Alexander-Arnold58.75%
Mane + Robertson9.54%
Salah + Mane + Alexander-Arnold3.9%
Salah + Mane + Robertson0.19%
Salah + Robertson + Alexander-Arnold0.89%
Mane + Robertson + Alexander-Arnold4.86%

The Mane and Alexander-Arnold combination is by some distance the most popular double-up, while relatively few FPL managers in the top 10k have already lumped on three Liverpool assets (there are other combinations beyond the above, of course).

We’ll surely see those figures rise considerably ahead of Gameweek 24, however.

      if you have exact money you might need to be quick as Alli might drop

        Not exactly money for those, but planning on TAA in next week of which I do have exact so will have an impact

    3. Rosicky

      Don’t sell Aguero now. IMO. Only Alli to sell. (Richarlison/Martial)

  2. Doctor Evil

    4 years, 10 months ago

    Settle this argument between me and my mate, who has the best team going forward?

    Team A

    Fab (Mcarthy)

    Robbo TAA Lundstram (Kiko, Rico)

    KDB Son Mane Martial Maddison

    Vardy DCL (Greenwood)

    Team B

    Ryan (Button)

    Mendy TAA Lundstram (Soyuncu Rico)

    KDB Salah Mane Martial Traore

    Vardy Ings (Greenwood)

    Thanks

      Team B has a few weak links in it so I prefer A although you can always reshuffle the pack and produce a better team B

    2. The Knights Template

      B

    3. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      B, but without Mendy

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        B is my team, what would you change then? I’m on wildcard and he’s 20 pts behind

        1. Ian J
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Mendy to Sidibe (or Holgate), Martial to Maddison (after Man U vs Nor).
          Consider double Brighton defence (Dunk or Webster) now, or after week 25, double Sheff Utd defence
          Give yourself the flexibility of 532 or 442 - I consider Greenwood as bench fodder
          rest is very good - Salah & Mane will be set & forget until they're confirmed league winners, then they be rested for FA Cup & Champions League games.

    Bottomed - Not sure what to do this team. Suggestions please

    I could do alli and rash > salah and 7.2 FWD (ings/dcl) but it might be a bit early to make the triple LIV move.

    Another option is a 2GW punt alli > rich or son?

    Do you think Rashford & Martial are too many?
    I know they play NOR(h) but not sure MUN can take advantage of NOR's weaknesses.
    Thinking of DCL.

      I'd keep for Norwich then look at just 1

    2. FCSB

      Apparently Greenwood will play v Norwich

                I’d be playing Greenwood instead of Ings or Grealish.

                  I wouldn’t do that... if it was over a defender I probably would

    3. GoonSquad
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      They seem to play better on counter....NOR will likely sit deep and look to counter, muting the ManU offensive strength.

  5. diesel001

    One thing about Norwich is they have stuck to their guns. Still trying to play the same style of football as they played in the Championship. That is admirable, because if they stick with it, then it will be part of the 'DNA' of their club and they could become good in 3 or 4 years time.

    Question is whether the owners will hold their nerve and stick with it even after they get relegated and have some rocky times. They have stepped up in class by coming into the PL and they are going to have to treat it as a learning experience. But you don't improve by beating weak opponents who you are already better than.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Don't think philosophy is why they'll go down (if they do) mainly the 9-10 players injured at the same time that did them in

      • tambourineman
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        As far as I've seen Norwich fans are fully in support of the Farke/Webber model, I don't think any manager has ever been cut 5 points adrift at the bottom of the league and been under so little pressure. Rather than calling for his head most fans fear the likelihood is Farke could get frustrated by the lack of financial support and be lured by a bigger club. Norwich gave Alex Neil a season after relegation and only sacked him when promotion was off the table, Farke probably has more credit in the bank than Neil given the style of play and youngsters he's brought through so they'll give him time in the Championship.

        The fans accept that Norwich are on a different financial playing field to every other team in the Premier League as they are a self sustaining club and not backed by a wealthy owner who can afford to lose millions. Norwich spent £1m in the summer while Villa spent £120m and both could be relegated come the end of the season, so who would be in the best financial position particularly given how Villa had to sell the stadium to the owner to avoid breaking FFP rules last season. Norwich have wasted PL money on players in the past (Steven Naismith) so have learnt from that and will use it more wisely this time, there's talk of increasing the stadium capacity which they sell out every week whatever league or league position they're in and if they have plenty in the bank they can ensure they get top dollar for the likes of Aarons or Buendia if they have to sell.

          Nailed it.
          Nice to see a club being so well run, with the supporters also pulling in the same directions.

          Sadly, I don’t see them staying up.

      On a WC. Need to find 0.1m.

      Have bench boost in mind come 37 regardless of whether they have a double or not hence rotating goalkeepers and playing bench.

      Ayew or Dunk downgrade the best way to find this .1m or a better option?

      Fabianski McCarthy

            Fabianski poor fixtures compared to Ryan- Week 24 particularly bad- also yellow flagged so may not be fully up to full fitness.

        by the time 37 comes around alot of those players might not be "playing" first choice. DCL and Ayew particularly.

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Interesting and a fair fair point.

      3. GoonSquad
        • 13 Years

        Ayew to Martinelli?

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 7 Years

          Doesn’t even start does he?

      4. Kun Tozser

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Don’t think so. For 5.8m and 7.9m respectively I got them in for.

          Nice. You always seem to have high RMT scores.

            High team value helps. Only count if they score that.

        Jesus chaps. I simply looked at it for interest not to base any decisions personally. I was just asking what everyone’s score not on it’s accuracy.

          So do we stay in top 3? Missed Doyle today.

            • 10 Years

            Yes and still top. But Exeter are now 3 points behind with a game in hand.

              Will be tough but we can still do it. Great free kick from Bradford.

      Who to replace Pope with? His next four are che, LEI, mun, ARS.

      - Fabianski (4.9m) has that DGW but fixtures aren't great even in the DGW
      - Schmichael top scorer but is he worth 5.4m? He's hardly running away at the top..
      - Ryan (4.8m) decent fixtures but is that worth the move from the slightly cheaper Pope?
      - Ramsdale (4.7m) cheap and great fixture but that Bouremouth form is BAD?
      - Allison (6.0m) pricey but possibly fixture proof? but is that a waste of a LIV place in the squad?

      Please share your thoughts on all the contenders 🙂

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Prefer Ryan- price and fixtures

        1. AuFeld
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          82% pass completion and has the highest BPS baseline among keepers.

      2. Rash
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I'm on schmeichel but I think fabianski may be the way to go

      3. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I went foster. Watford are an unknown beast now and worth a punt in a position that lends itself to punt.

      4. HamezMace
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Not Ramsdale, Bournemouth have forgotten how to defend.
        Not Allison, waste of a Liverpool spot.
        Kasper isn’t worth the money.

        Ryan or Fabianski for me, expect them to score pretty similarly overly the next few weeks.

      5. FPL Pillars
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Fab for the fun and saves

      6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I went for Fabianski/Pope rotation on wildcard

        Nice fixtures & got off to a good start with West Ham’s CS v BOU

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          *Fabianski/HENDO

          Not Pope

      7. Netley Lucas
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        McCarthy is the value.

      8. Ian J
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Ryan - great long term fixtures, solid defence, BPS magnet

    12. HollywoodXI
      • 10 Years

      Is there any substance to Greenwood starting against Norwich?

      1. AuFeld
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Source?

      2. HollywoodXI
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Someone just said it on here.

        1. AuFeld
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Trust them as far as you can throw them.

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

        More likely he starts in the EFL cup midweek, if he does well in that game he’s got to be pushing for the Norwich game

      4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I’d say Ole doesn’t know himself who’s starting in 7 days

        He hasn’t got a clue

    13. BRFC
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Who is the best 4.4 for next few weeks Holgate or Saiss?

      1. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Holgate for sure

    14. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Hard to believe we will have seen price drops for TAA, Lundstram and Vardy all in the space of 14 days

      It really is true when they say markets are irrational 🙂

      1. HamezMace
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        And yet no drop for the immortal Abraham

    15. Hazardous1983

      What to do with this.

      Pope (button)

      Mane richarlison alli kdb (grealish)

      1. AuFeld
        • 8 Years

        What do you think is wrong with it?

        1. Hazardous1983
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Alli n pope

          1. AuFeld
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            For Alli, I prefer Martial for the short term and Maddison for the long term.

            For Pope, I would consider Ryan, Pickford (could be a nice differential), or Guaita.

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        You have a bit of a benching headache, Abraham to DCL and Rico/Kelly to Robertson if funds allow? Triple pool for DGW.
        Alternatively, Alli to Salah

        1. HamezMace
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          This.
          I’d look to reshuffle your front 8 so you have a perma-bench player like greenwood or dendoncker, and upgrade Alli to Salah

    16. StayoutheSpiceZone
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I am sure that people are in the same boat but chips probably looking like

      TC dgw24
      FH some sort of reduced game week
      WC near the big dgws and then BB around it?

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Depends how bad the big blank week is. If it isn't too bad, could be better off using the FH and BB in the bigger DGWs

        1. StayoutheSpiceZone
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Ok thanks. That’s what I did last year, soon be a bit clearer I’d imagine

          1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah - usually after the next round of the FA Cup and 5th round draw we'll get a pretty good idea. Last year it was sure pretty early that Liverpool were playing in the big blank week, so it was fairly easy to plan for the blank week whilst saving FH chip.

      2. HamezMace
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I saw that Crellin guy say WC would be 36, and BB 37 this season, would be most popular.

      A) Save
      B) Maupay to Delu
      C) Maupay, Alli to Sarr, Jimenez

      Will look at bringing in Robo or Salah for 24. Probably Robo

      Forgive my ignorance, but does anyone know why the % price increase on FPL statistics tends to jump up later in the evening?

      Mane for example seems to have increased almost 20% in the last hour.

      Thanks.

      1. Netley Lucas

        I fear it is drink related.

    21. Nightf0x
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Will get salah in gw24, downgrade aurier to 4.3 def. Making salah exactly on 0.0 or get a cheaper def. And leave some value itb incase of any price change for salah before gw24?

      Best 4.3 & Under 4.3 def. To get?

      1. HamezMace
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Kiko Femenia has been decent for me

      2. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Cathcart at 4.3 and probably Reid at 3.9 as perm 3rd on bench or take punt on Williams at 4 m who looked one of United’s best players today

    22. MarcusAurelius
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Whats everyones plans to squeeze Salah, Mane and TAA in for the DGW?
      Im finding it hard to find the best way with my team.

      Traore and Abraham will definitely going before GW24 but that doesn’t free up enough funds.

      So one of Rashford, Maddison or De Bruyne also has to go. Thoughts please?

      1FT and 1.6 ITB

      Gazzaniga
      Lund TAA Chilwell
      Maddison Salah KDB Traore
      Rashford Vardy Tammy

      Button Rico Kelly Hayden

      1. HamezMace
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Easiest way is probably Rashford our, lots of budget strikers to choose from

      2. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Looks as though you team value will stop you doing this really. I would go Robbo and TAA double up to make it easier. Maybe get Tammy out for DCL and upgrade Chilwell.

        1. MarcusAurelius
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          My team value is 104.9 mil so feel like it’s not to bad?

    23. selig

      Gazza Button
      TAA Soy Lund Kelly Rico
      Mane Alli Rich Martial Sarr
      Vardy Tammy Ings

      0.1ITB
      Thinking about Gazza + Rico -> Mccarthy + Dunk
      Need to do ASAP or I won't be able to afford it bc of Dunk rise.

      Lots of other potential transfers though (Alli, Martial, Tammy)

      Play traore or grealish next week? Wrong decision last gw!

      1. MarcusAurelius
        • 8 Years

        Stick with Traore

      2. BOATIES FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Id have to go with the fixture and Traore.

      3. mdm
        • 12 Years

        Then, just play Grealish this time.

      For those who own, or will soon own Salah and Mane, who will you be captaining? I was thinking probably Mo..

      1. mdm
        • 12 Years

        TAA

      2. AuFeld

        Salah.

      3. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Salah.
