Wildcards continue to break up top 10k template as Salah rewards massive backing

Fantasy Premier League managers in the top 10k continue to eye up major changes to their squads.

With Blank Gameweek 28, the corresponding Doubles and Blank Gameweek 31 all on the horizon, the template of the first half of the campaign continues to slowly dissolve.

Therefore, the second Wildcard has received plenty of attention from both the upper echelons of Fantasy managers and worldwide.

7.6% of managers inside the top 10k pulled the trigger on their squad overhaul for Gameweek 25 while 4.7% did so overall.

Defence appears to be the area most needing some change according to the Gameweek 25 Wildcarders among the top 10k.

Recent benchings for John Lundstram (£5.1m) have seen just 62.6% of these managers hold onto his services, compared to ownership of 87.2% among the top 10k as a whole.

There is a similar drop-off for Martin Kelly (£4.4m), sat in 51.3% of top 10k squads but included only in 28.6% of those at this level who Wildcarded for Gameweek 25. Of course, that was before his benching at home to Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon.

Also losing significant support, not surprisingly, is Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.0m) after Leicester went a fourth consecutive match without a clean sheet on Saturday lunch-time.

The centre-back is still held by 39.3% of managers in the top 10k but is not among the top five for ownership in the Wildcard selection.

His place, along with Diego Rico‘s (£4.2m), has been taken by Jamaal Lascelles (£4.2m), while Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) also features.

The budget price of Newcastle’s club captain, combined with the Magpies appealing run of fixtures, which started with a 0-0 draw against Norwich, has led to relative popularity in top 10k Wildcard squads.

Lascelles has been chosen by 30.8% of such managers, behind only Alexander-Arnold, Lundstram and Van Dijk.

Despite losing plenty of support in recent weeks, Nick Pope (£4.6m) remains an important part of the so-called template.

Only Dean Henderson (£5.0m) was selected by more top 10k Wildcarders than the Burnley goalkeeper, who has 37.8% representation in such squads.

Mohamed Salah‘s (£12.6m) ownership figures have taken a huge boost following the recent injury to Sadio Mané (£12.3m).

In the top 10k, the Egyptian now has 87.2% ownership, while 93% of those Wildcarding at this level for Gameweek 25 chose him – even more than Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m).

However, it is worth noting that 10.6% of managers inside the top 10k have opted to hold Mané ahead of Gameweek 26.

It will be interesting to see if this tactic pays off considering that Liverpool don’t have a Premier League fixture between now and February 15.

Jurgen Klopp previously stated that Mané would be “alright” after the Southampton match and up next for Liverpool is a trip to Carrow Road, where Norwich have conceded more goals than on their travels this season.

️There also appeared to be a shift in the fourth and fifth midfielder markets following Gameweek 25 Wildcards.

Todd Cantwell‘s (£4.9m) most recent blank, recorded at Newcastle, may see his 37.1% representation in the top 10k fall further and, indeed, he has dropped out of the top five midfielders in the Wildcard template.

John Fleck (£5.0m), who has five goals and two assists this season, looks to be gunning for Cantwell’s place in Fantasy squads, chosen by 22.3% of top 10k Wildcards this weekend.

Up-front, Jamie Vardy (£9.9m) finds himself still losing followers. He remains the most popular forward in the top 10k (64.7%) but was not in the top-three among the Wildcarders.

Another blank for the Leicester man, this time against Chelsea, his third in a row, may only exacerbate the slew of sales ahead of a Gameweek 26 trip to Wolves.

By contrast, 49.5% of those Wildcarding for Gameweek 25 put their faith in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.7m), set to face Burnley on Sunday afternoon. That makes him the third-most-popular striker in such squads.

Looking at the chip usage in full detail for the top 10k, we can see just how many deployed the Triple Captain for Double Gameweek 24.

With 13 Gameweeks left in the 2019/20 schedule, 28.1% of managers at the top level right now will be looking out for another opportunity to use their enhanced armband.

15.7% is the portion of top 10k managers who are yet to play a chip in the second half of the season. They are likely to be very confident that they can use the chips to consolidate their position.

Finally, Saturday afternoon provided the perfect entertainment for the majority of the top 10k, as far as the captaincy was concerned.

That’s because Salah mopped up monstrous backing for the armband at this level, 79.8% of his backers enjoying a 32-point haul in Liverpool’s 4-0 win over Southampton.

That contributed towards an effective ownership of 167% for Salah among the top 10k on Saturday afternoon.

The 4.5% who went for Alexander-Arnold instead did not see too much pay-off in return for their risk, the right-back scoring six points, 12 if captained.

There is also now pressure on those few brave souls who went against the grain to back a Sunday afternoon player with the armband.

The in-form Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) was captained by just 4% of the top 10k, De Bruyne 2.5% and Aubameyang 2.4%.

    Which of these transfers are worth doing ???

    A. Vardy & Lundstram >>> Jimenez & Baldock/Stevens/O'Connell for -4
    B. Vardy / Maddison / Lundstram >>> Auba / 6.0 & Baldock/Stevens/O'Connell for -8

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      A if any

    2. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Vardy will score again / Auba has week 28 blank

      Jimi is intriguing

    Hi lads....a lot of fires suddenly here. 1 FT and 2.3 itb

    Henderson

    3) Kelly to Lascelles/Stephens
    4) Maupay to Jiménez

      Looks like a wildcard tbh.

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years

      Few weeks of ins and outs probably starting with Maupay.

    Tempted to triple up on LEI attack from GW28

    1. Holmes

      Good differential 😉

  5. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Most captained player = Salah (8 times) for a total = 174 points (21.8 avg).

    Single-handedly saving my season.

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Captained 9 times for a total of 206 points, including this week's points.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Only 5 times for me 😀

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Did you TC him?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Nope, didn't use TC. Mane was C

  6. R.C
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Running out of mid options, anyone good enough apart from Mane, Salah and KDB?

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You'd wanna watch Sonny today.

  7. Wardinator

    Anyone considering doherty?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      They dont keep many CSs :/

      Defense of LIV, SHU, NEW looks good for CSs

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Let me add Southampton & Burnley to that list, Mr. Holmes 😉

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe Boly.

    3. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, mostly because Boly is back

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Massively overpriced for me.

  8. davies

    What to do with Martial?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years

      Sell.

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        How to improve this defence with 1FT / 0:9 ITB?

        TAA Lundstram Soyuncu Holgate Kelly

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Lundstram to Gomez/Stephens

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would sell but again, for who is the question...

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly - Son the only real alternative imo

  9. rodragon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy+Maupay+Lund to Aguero+Jiminez+Taylor over the next two weeks?
    Or get Auba instead of Aguero to get a better defender like Stevens instead of Taylor?
    Thanks!

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      How many points hit ?

      1. rodragon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        -4 this week then none next week!

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lets see how they play today. Might be too late to drop Vardy for likes of Auba/Kun due to blank and fixtures

      1. rodragon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Oh yeah the blank fixture.....

  10. Amey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Those on WC this GW, don't do the same mistake we (last GW WC'ers) did.
    Sell Grealish. Fixtures looks awful at the best. I was pretty sure about saving FT but I've looked into the fixtures.
    Grealish to Traore looks a decent move if the beast is fit.

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      So why did you select him on wildcard? Seems very myopic

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I said it was a mistake

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Don’t compound it. Save FT this week and assess thereafter. Traoré can wait until Norwich

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Okay.
            Thanks.

            1. IRBOX ⚽
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I’m not trying to be a di*k.. you’ve played a great WC and the best thing you can do now to continue that advantage is to save the transfer

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Appreciate that. Thanks

              Irbox right. have 2 tfrs to correct things.

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Yep
                Tbh, this post was to warn this gw's WC players instead of my question 🙂

                Grealish looks a nostalgia pick. Fixtures ahead looks awful.

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It is what I would do. I am looking forward to having 3 SGW's on my bench DGW31.
      One of the reasons not replacing Lund with another Shef Utd player.
      Who will be your benchers GW31?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        When i eventually sell Grealish for Traore, my bench in GW 31 would be:
        Henderson KDB Fleck Stephens

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe spend .5 on a back up keeper. It pays as 4pts more than cover 2 GW's

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I have McCarthy as backup one. Played WC so went with 2 GK's

    3. ppv
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish was the best player on the pitch yesterday

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        😮
        Eye test ....
        This makes it interesting. Spurs play pretty bad on THAT right wing too where Aurier will duel with Jack Grealish.
        Cheers for the information

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Aurier can't battle with anyone. If Jose is Jose, he will get a player to man mark Grealish.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Alli vs Grealish 😀

            1. Eze Really?
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Funny enough. Alli is more than capable!

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                He's capable of being a nuisance if allowed to be.

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yup, Grealish was on fire could easily have had 2 goals and 2 assists. Get rid at your peril

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Wow
            Thanks for the heads up

      3. ppv
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Good point about Aurier. He's woeful.Jack nearly always plays well but it won't always translate into FPL points. Assisted the assist yesterday. Great value for his price and I hope the doubters sell and make him a differential once again.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Agree with that. It's not about value though for me. Need a good pick for next 3/4 gw's.

      4. PapaWengzz

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Well done !
          It was because of your team i sold Lundstram & got Henderson, so thank you buddy 🙂

          1. PapaWengzz
            • 4 Years

            Glad i could help bud

    4. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      How are you guys dealing with the run in?
      25% have used their WC in the top 10k to date. Not used it yet.
      My Problems:
      Guaita: Time to Go (Henderson ideal but 2 blanks incoming)
      Pope: I can keep (Are Burnley good enough for me not to worry about Guaita and the 1 mil wasted owning him)
      Soy: Seems a waste of space
      Sidibe: A fair investment in him with horrible fixtures on the horizon.
      Lund: Time to go and replace with a playing SUnited player.
      Noble: Bad team, bad fixtures (Any point in changing my 5th attacker)
      Vardy: End of the road? (I can get back Jimmi or get Auba: either of them now)
      Mahrez: Easy upgrade but my team punt.
      Sorry about the diatribe but would you WC when I am happy with the other players.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn't WC if you are happy with the players. Just take couple of hits to sort the major mess, should be fine in 2-3 weeks time.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough. I have 8 players I don't want but they have got me to 30k from 250k in the last 3 weeks. But it has been the TC plus Pool that did it.

      2. Amey

            Roll the other FT.

            Sidibe can go for a Newcastle defender next GW when fixtures turn for you guys. Mahrej to Son is a good option too next GW with Spurs playing Villa & City rotation frenzy is about to start now with CL on horizon

            FT 1st must be for lund.
            FT 2 between sidibe or mahrez, i prefer nailed players & non gw 28 blankers.

      Is Joel Ward first choice and nailed for Palace?

        Yep

    8. Harvey Spector
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Fro, 1.1m to 81k in the space of 5 weeks.

      However, the team needs major overhauling now.

      a) Is Aguero worth it for a one week punt or better to get him after the blank
      b) Oconell, Egan or Basham?

      1. Buck The Trent

        Great plan. Hopefully injuries don't ruin it.
        Stephens should be played ahead of Lundstram then.

          Alternative is to just do DCL, Vardy > Jimenez, Ings now but that leaves me with Maddison and horrible 3rd/4th defenders and no assurance of Cantwell/Dendoncker minutes either

            Donkey is out now with Boly IN the team. Him & Siass will fight for spot in back 3 now.

            Cantwell on other hand can be a pretty good deputy. But i agree, defense needs a reset.

            Probably, the defense of my previous team was one of the main reasons i played WC alongside Mane injury. Newcastle Southampton SHU looks the place to be now wrt defense

      Aguero getting benched tomorrow? Stretch his legs for 10 minutes for a 1 pointer?

      He played 93 minutes vs Man United this week. Seems he needs a little rest.

      Yep, big Pep Party coming

      Pepperoni Pizza for Aguero Captains

      This would save my OR for What Mane did to me

        Plays today
        Plays WHU
        Rest Leicester

        That's what i think. Doesn't matter what we think though 😀

      Midfield is such a minefield right now.. it’s Salah, KDB and then absolutely NOBODY

        We all feel the same pain.
        looks like 3 Pool KDB, 2 Wolves, 2 S united (bench GW31) After that a nightmare. Hence not using WC because I have no clue what to do with it.

        Hopefully Sonny makes his mark against City.
        Maybe deployed OOP with a winger signed by Spurs

          After a horror season of almost 0 enjoyment and being ranked around a million or so for most of it two right decisions relating to the Egyptian king and I'm up to 440k. Nothing to write home about but shows how quickly things can change!

          Question, what's a good target to aim for if ranked at 440k right now?

          1. IRBOX ⚽

            I’m at the same rank after jumping from 1.9 million 4 GW’s ago (don’t ask). Will be aiming for top 20-50k

            • 10 Years

              Can’t see what to do but have several players that may need shifting:

              Henderson
              TAA, Robbo, Sidibe*, Stephens, Lund*
              Salah, KDB, Maddison*, Traore, Grealish
              Ings, Vardy*, Jimenez

              A) Thinking of giving Sidibe one more week versus Palace?
              B) Lund to Lascelles?
              C) Hold Leicester for blank 28 and beyond fixtures?

              I used my 1FT yesterday to move Lundstram out.

              Now I suddenly realise that if I want to go with my original plan of going through all press conferences and then use 2FT for Blank GW 28, then I need to sit tight for the next 4 weeks. GW 28 starts on Feb 29!

              That's a long break!

                WHU is a enigmatic team.
                Expect a fight against City.

                6(90) + 12(CS) + 8(4 saves) + 3(9 recoveries) + 4(passing)

                Firmino = 2(passing) + 6(90) + 3(big chance created) + 4(key passes) + 1(dribble) + 27(3 assists) - 1(foul) - 4(tackled) - 1(off target) - 6(2 big misses) - 1(error leading to chance) = 30

                  Thanks. Do you think Stevens or Baldock would be better than O'Connell + £0.5m?

                Very same question for my team. I’m replacing Lundstram so reckon I’ll stick with Sheff Utd and go for Stevens. Him or Aurier in that bracket, or I’ll go cheap to free up some sheckles.

                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  I like Aurier, although I have Tanganga already. Could go super cheap and get Charlie Taylor (£4.2)

            • davies
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I should really focus on my defence... but this looks tempting.

              Vardy Martial Soyuncu > Aguero Hayden VVD (-8)

              In the following weeks:
              Lundstram > SHU defender
              Kelly > Lascelles

              Or should I just bite the bullet and WC?

                what's ur gw28 plan?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Who gets downgraded first?
              1) Aurier
              2) Soyuncu
              3) Lundstram

              1. Harper (No more Penandes)

                • 8 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Lundstram, Aurier and Soyuncu are still in the team, Lundstram is not.

                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    4 years, 1 month ago

                    True but if he got lundstram early that's a 4.0 really, more room to play with aurier and soy out. Ideally all 3 should no longer be in your team. Maybe aurier gets reprieve now lloris is back but I still think they'll concede the same amount

                    1. Harper (No more Penandes)
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 8 Years
                      4 years, 1 month ago

                      Don't think Lund has any worth now that he's restricted to 1 pointers, best to ship him first then think about Soy and Aurier. Aurier could still hold value, watching the Spurs games all of their good play goes down the right flank, so much so that he is almost like their main playmaker.

                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 1 month ago

                      Bought Lundstram at 4.1; his sell price for me is 4.6.

                      His minutes are the concern, though. Still, Lunds seems like the fall guy, even with the high ownership (which means he'll screw the week I drop him).

                  Lund is priority. Similar predicament to me below.

              2. Eric Banternaaa
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Dropped from top 10K to 37K in 3 weeks. Team needs sorting out.

                McCarthy Button
                TAA Lund Rico Stephens Williams
                Mane Salah Son Cantwell Dendoncer
                Aguero Ings Abraham

                Lund, Williams, Dendoncer all benched this GW. I’m thinking a simple Lund > Baldock. Agree?

                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    4 years, 1 month ago

                    I think so, jury still out on Son while Kane is out too

                    1. Eric Banternaaa
                      • 10 Years
                      4 years, 1 month ago

                      Wouldn’t say that’s priority at the minute though.

                      1. @persecuted_by_mods
                          4 years, 1 month ago

                          Not a priority and your simple move is the one I'd make
