Pro Pundits

My Wildcard draft picks for FPL Gameweek 31+

In his latest Pro Pundits column, former Fantasy Premier League champion Simon March talks us through his early Wildcard draft.


Writing this after the ‘+’ part of Gameweek 30+ but before the body of Gameweek 30 itself, my unlimited transfers and Bench Boost have thus far produced a relatively mediocre 55 points. That’s enough for a small green arrow overall but not enough to yet be considered an outright ‘success’.

If you’re reading this after the Gameweek has finished, my decisions to make Sergio Aguero (£11.8m) captain over Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m) and to include Nicolas Pepe (£9.3m) may seem like a slow-burn masterstroke… or they may cause you to question whether it’s even worth reading on.

For those of you who are still here, you’ll no doubt be happy to know that I immediately pulled the Wildcard trigger and, boy, did it feel good. I stress that this was the plan all along, but it felt good anyway.

Wildcards at this point in the season are usually used to take advantage of an upcoming Double Gameweek rather than mop up after one so these are fairly unique circumstances. Obviously all the usual Wildcard principles of flexibility, chasing good fixtures, balance etc all still apply, but given that there are only eight Gameweeks left, there’s also an emphasis on including players who can perform consistently but also offer the odd explosive haul to disproportionately propel you up the rankings.

 Here’s what my Wildcard team looks like at the time of writing:

Goalkeepers

Brighton’s David Button (£3.9m) has been one of only two ‘ever-presents’ in my squad this season despite him not having played a single minute of football. He’s £3.9m, enough said about that. 

Burnley’s Nick Pope (£4.9m) is my new main keeper. There are of course other options: Watford’s Ben Foster (£4.9m) and Sheffield United’s Dean Henderson (£5.3m) are others I’ve had my eye on but, the number of times this season I’ve thought to myself: “I wish I had Nick Pope as my goalkeeper” (no, seriously), it feels like a move I should make given the opportunity. He’s also pretty cheap and Burnley’s fixtures are decent enough. 

Defenders

Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m) has been and remains the first name on my teamsheet this season and I won’t waste anyone’s time in justifying that further.

Burnley’s Charlie Taylor (£4.3m) and Newcastle’s Jamaal Lascelles (£4.3m) are largely enablers in the sub-£4.5m bracket but both have good fixtures and, it seems, having a decent bench will be more valuable than ever during the run-in.

Wolves’ Matt Doherty (£6.3m) and Chelsea’s Reece James (£5.1m) fill the final two spots. These are two players who you would expect to perform reasonably consistently but, crucially, have the potential to deliver one or two hauls given their attacking threat. I’m not entirely sold on James given that he’s not 100% nailed-on so I’m keeping an eye on Chelsea’s line-up versus Aston Villa. Sheffield United’s John Lundstram (£4.9m) is an obvious alternative who keeps within this ethos.

Midfielders

 1

Again, the emphasis here is consistency with the potential for explosiveness. Few fit that bill better than Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m) who is such a perfect FPL specimen you almost suspect he has a Skynet barcode hidden somewhere on his person. With nine goals and 19 assists already this season, he’s going nowhere. I haven’t even bothered looking at his fixtures.

It’s probably too early to compare Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes (£8.6m) to De Bruyne as an FPL asset but, with five returns in as many appearances so far this season, there are signs that he might offer similar levels of consistency. Like the Belgian, he’s seemingly on all set pieces and, in a team with plenty of attacking threat and a great run of fixtures, that’s a great combination of things to have.

Spurs’ Son Heung-min (£9.7m) may be on course for his best FPL season yet with nine goals and nine assists so far, despite the fact that he’s already accumulated enough red cards to build a fort. Spurs have great fixtures, plenty to play for and, with under 7% ownership at the time of writing, Son has great differential potential too.

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) is another player whose inclusion doesn’t require much explanation though some might question why I’d choose him over Sadio Mane (£12.5m). Truth be told, I don’t have a good answer for this other than Salah has been my ‘go-to’ option over the years and he hasn’t given me much reason to change that. The fact that he sometimes plays up front and occasionally takes penalties maybe offers him a theoretical edge but, ultimately, I think everyone has their personal favourite of the two and so you might as well stick with them.

With six goals and two assists this season, Norwich’s Todd Cantwell (£4.7m) is peerless as a ‘fifth midfielder’ and that’s exactly the spot he takes in my Wildcard squad. As mentioned, all signs suggest that a decent bench will be important during the final Gameweeks and, with a solid run of fixtures to come and lots to play for, I certainly won’t worry about Cantwell auto-subbing in from time to time.

Forwards

What's the best strategy for choosing forwards in FPL? 8

At the moment, I’ve gone fairly budget up front, partly to enable spending big elsewhere but, also, because the current options allow it. I’d normally want the flexibility of at least one premium striker but none leap out at me as ‘essential’ right now so a budget frontline may be the way to go.

Wolves Raul Jimenez (£8.1m) is nailed on, superb value and with a great run of fixtures, so I’m actually not sure there’s any striker I’d want over him right now.

Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.5m) also looks great value and looks to be in the midst of a genuine ‘breakout’ season with 13 goals so far. For some reason, perhaps his lack of consistency in the past, I’m still not totally convinced so we’ll see if I stick with him but I can’t deny he’s an attractive option at that price.

Finally, I have Southampton’s Danny Ings (£7.1m). As I sometimes like to remind people, I’ve had Danny Ings since before it was cool so he only occupies £6.5m of my budget. Despite scoring 15 goals this season, I’m not sure I’d go for him at his current price, not least because Southampton’s fixtures are not the greatest, but at £6.5m he should still offer value. Plus, Ings has proven his ability to score against anyone, Southampton need to win games to keep out of the relegation battle and, like I said, he’s scored 15 goals!

Of course, there are other options I’m also looking at in the mid-price bracket like Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham (£7.5m) and Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford (£8.8m), should I want to downgrade elsewhere.

There’s also the option of going even more budget up front with the likes of Crystal Palace’s Jordan Ayew (£5.2m) or Sheffield United’s Lys Mousset (£4.5m) to enable a ‘power five’ in midfield. Chelsea’s Mason Mount (£6.2m) and Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish (£6.4m), in particular, look good value options.

    How was rashford? Thinking of switching with dcl and ings (nketiah/rash)

      One moment of brilliance & madness from dier 😀

        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thats not madness, that's called shimmy. He was basically not knowing where the ball was and when he turned, it was too late.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          No no
          I was talking about how he dealt with it after getting nutmegged 😀

            • 9 Years

            Haha, agreed its madness but he may also have overreacted. All in all, if Pogba keeps his head down then he is going to do extremely well with nice talents around him.

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              He's Pogba man.
              He'll be world beater one day next day won't give a ... 😀

    Rashford and Son both looked rusty.. worrying for the WC

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      What are you expecting from player's back after 2)3 months & were injured previously ?

      I think both should do fine

  6. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Top 3 forwards looking ahead?

    Rashford, Jimenez, Tammy, Ings, Jota, DCL...

    Spending more for Kun, Auba or Kane doesn’t seem very appealing.

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years

      Rash Jimmy DCL

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Ings had a good audition today albeit NOR ... watch the others first

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I am going with my gut and keeping Auba till GW 32.

      Jota Vardy Auba right now. Going to ignore rashford and get Tony. He should have had one today. Lloris became superman at wrong time 😀

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Forgot Vardy 😮 no doubt he’ll shake up the thinking too.

        So many options 🙂

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Definitely. I need Vardy to score big this GW 😀

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years

            Good luck, but not too much 😉

      Need to see how Everton do first, but yeah Norwich are awful.

  16. Greek Freak
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What am I missing - why is everyone getting Rashford and doubling up with Fernandes? Were United that dangerous vs. Spurs?!

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No but look at their fixtures

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      With United, you have to just cover both pen takers.

      9 games left means at least 14 more pens.

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Haha

      2. Greek Freak
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Haha, true! What's the situation there - is Rashford actually going to alternate with Bruno on pens? My assumption was that Bruno is the main taker and Rashford was only going to take the second one - i.e. he'll only take penalties if Bruno has already taken one in the same game and doesn't want the keeper to second guess him.

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Maybe a winner doesn’t take or something, we probably wont find out.

      3. Amey
        • 5 Years

        Ha ha ha ha

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      This was a classic Mourinho game. He just shut the game down. Hard to take anything from this match other than Pogba is world class.

      United's fixtures look really good from now on. A double up seems reasonable.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Worth loading up now or wait until after sheff Utd you reckon? Might be a tougher game than it looks on paper. Aubameyang to rashford is my thinking but might wait a couple of weeks

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Auba will score a hatty against Norwich once everyone sell him

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Amen

        2. Greek Freak
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I don't have Auba, but I'll be looking to get him before Norwich.

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Yep does seem wrong timing to lose Aubameyang

        3. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Sheffield will be without Henderson, they won't be as tough without him imo.

    4. Blunder fc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Martial looked a bigger threat than rashford if doubling up

      1. Greek Freak
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        That was my thinking too - if I get a United striker it'll be Martial.

  17. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone thinking alli over son?

    Cheaper
    Shd get more minutes over the next 2 or 3 games
    Similar records under Mourinho

    1. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Save another 1m and get Bergwijn

    2. Hktrader88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes. Son seems to be more explosive with double digit returns but Alli gets alot of goal chances and his fpl points quietly tick along. I had Alli earlier in the season and he always seems very unpopular on the fpl forums.

  18. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who would you be targeting in a free hit?

    Vardy, DCL, Richarlison, B.Fernandes, Bergwijn, Aurier, Son?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Liverpool triple up. DCL and richarlison. Wolves, Man U and spurs so loads of options

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        With the Pool triple up, would u have double defence or attack?

        Attack takes so much budget up

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          See how they look but mane and salah could be massive

          1. Coys96
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah!

  19. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is Bergwijn a serious alternative to Son? Got to love that price if so...

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Im thinking alli

    Why is Henderson not flagged as not being able to play against Manchester Utd in the next GW?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He hasn't played his second game of THIS GW yet

      1. caldracula
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ok thanks, thought it still would have updated for the next GW considering you can’t make any changes for this one.

      Because he has a game against Newcastle next.

    Which player probably scores more?

    A) Son (WHU, shu)
    B) KdB (che, LIV)

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Tough but I prefer KDB

    Looking at my MLs, it looks as if some managers forgot to click 'save team' after choosing bench boost. Because their teams look set up for the chip. Anyone else seen this?

    Salah (CRY H)

      As a pool fan I've to say salah

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years

      Salah if conserving rank imo.

      Son if looking to gain.

    3. Coys96

      Bit early to call but probably Salah if u had to pick now

      Watch all games and re-assess

    No players tonight... so I suppose it could have been worse.. bring on tomorrow!

  27. have you seen cyan

    Always the way, need to cut 0.1 off this squad. Any ideas?

    Pope (Button)
    TAA - Doherty - Lundstram (Simpson, Reid)
    Bruno - KDB - Son - Doucoure - Salah
    Rashford - Jimi (Connolly)

    I guess its going to have to be Lundstram>Egan or something? Salah>Mane?
    Can I get away with that horrendous bench or I must get starters?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Think you need to get a better bench. Doucoure downgrade? Lundstram to Egan

    2. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I’d personally downgrade Doherty to Saiss and upgrade Doucoure to Sarr and slightly upgrade bench

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Doherty>Boly/Saiss really tempting me. Altho Saiss is only a card away from suspension, so might have to be Boly

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lundstram to Egan

    4. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hmm thanks guys, losing Lundstram really scares me

    Why was Lindelof subbed? Injured or just tactical?

    1. Rover
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looked a knock, but more a precautionary sub than an injury-enforced one

    2. Jekori
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      tactical. they were 1-0 behind, brought on matic for a centre-back to go after the 1-1. When the 1-1 happened OGS brought on Bailly for McTominay to restore the 4 at the back.

  29. caldracula
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Dubravaka a better option than pope?

  30. Willmissudimitrypayet
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Defensive or offensive double up on Man Utd?

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Deffo not defence

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Offensive

    3. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      None of them offer great defence or attacking returns

      1. Belli2007
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Defo not a defensive double up, but AWB got forward quite a lot tonight....have Maguire in my WC team at the moment but thinking I might switch him.....

      Wouldn't be surprised to see them keep things tight over the coming weeks though. But should probably keep door open for Rashford/Pogba/Martial yes
