My FPL tips on team value, Wildcarding and more for Gameweek 31+ and beyond

In his latest Pro Pundits article, Lateriser12 – who has overall ranks of 77th and 189th to his name  shares his thoughts on the Fantasy landscape ahead of the run-in.


Games are coming thick and fast and there is no time to breathe in terms of processing information and building a strategy. This is when isolated thinking, acquiring information, eye-test and quick thinking comes into play.

My advice to every FPL manager out there would be don’t indulge in too much tinkering. Instead, process as much information as you can and the answers will come to you easier. If I ever have a “this or that” question in my head, I normally tend to re-watch the highlights of the same game and look at some stats in the Members Area and the answer is there in front of me.

I am desperately trying to not overthink the coming eight Gameweeks, which does become a little difficult when you’re just outside the top 500. But nothing needs to change in terms of my strategy and I just need to keep doing what I am doing and we will see where I land in Gameweek 38+.

I have been thinking long and hard on what to write.

I could take you guys through my Wildcard team but I’m still tinkering and most of my thoughts are on the Scoutcast I just did with Joe and Andy. Give it a listen.

I thought of giving you guys differentials to consider but Tom has a great track record doing those and we’ve covered a fair bit of them on the Scoutcast as well.

With eight Gameweeks to go, I’m just going to freestyle this article and talk about a few strategy-focused things that have been playing on my mind and that you might find useful. I did speak about a few of these on the Scoutcast but I think you might find it useful if I elaborate further.

1) What am I doing with Manchester City?

De Bruyne out of Manchester derby as Aguero starts City's Double Gameweek 29 opener

I am writing this article before the Manchester City v Burnley game but as it stands, I have no Manchester City player in my Wildcard draft. The reasoning is quite simple for me: I expect major rotation for them in the next two Gameweeks and I don’t think the games will be easy.

They have the FA Cup (Pep mentioned that it was their most important game apart from the UEFA Champions League game against Real Madrid) just three days after the Chelsea game and I think it is near-impossible to predict who will get the majority share of minutes in these three games.

You could say that they will play their strongest team against Liverpool, which doesn’t sound like a very attractive prospect. Holding Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m) is a very reasonable move if you have value attached to him but I’ve sold him four times this season already and I’m looking elsewhere for the next Gameweek to hunt for hauls.

You should know that this is generally how I play FPL in general, though, as I’m very comfortable switching big hitters in the search of double-digit hauls from premium assets and I don’t indulge in ‘cover picks’ as much as others.

The two players from Manchester City that I did consider on my wildcard are Ederson (£6.0m) and Phil Foden (£5.1m). Here’s why.

Manchester City have great fixtures after these two Gameweeks, they looked the fittest and most solid team so far and I expect Ederson to keep a ton of clean sheets until Gameweek 38+.

When it comes to Foden, I expect him to get a lot of minutes and I think he’s a really good option for your eighth attacker. What I would do with Foden is that if he is rested for a particular game, I would probably start him in my FPL team in the next game as we expect Pep to rotate and Foden’s upside is very high.

In fact, this is exactly what I intend on doing with Manchester City assets. Since I am expecting them to be heavily rotated, I will try second-guessing Pep and get the Manchester City attacker for a particular run or even a single fixture (they have a lot of ‘captainable’ fixtures Gameweek 33+ onwards).

As things stand, I am looking to add one or two City attackers in my team from Gameweek 33+ onwards and I am being careful to not spread my funds too much with my Wildcard squad so as to afford them in two or three moves.

2) What are my thoughts on the Spurs attackers?

What the FA Cup replay results mean for the Blank Gameweek 31 picture

I have seen a lot of the community struggle with what to do when it comes to the Spurs assets. I would first like to bring your attention to this excellent piece written by Neale.

When I read this article, I had made up my mind that Son Heung-min (£9.7m) was going to be my go-to asset for the Spurs run-in.

My view of the Spurs attackers are that all the midfielders are correctly priced and you will get what you pay for. I personally would not consider Steven Bergwijn (£7.4m) as I think he is more prone to rotation than Son or Dele Alli (£8.3m). This quote from Jose Mourinho after the first game for Spurs led to this thinking:

We played with Bergwijn, Lamela, Kane and Son, and our bench was very strong in defensive options. We had Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen on the bench but we didn’t have Lucas or Dele or Lamela or Bergwijn. Imagine Bergwijn on the bench and Lucas playing and coming out minute 60-65 and Bergwijn coming for the last period, I can imagine the impact that we could have. So a bit of frustration but at the same time really happy with the players.

This makes me think that Son and Alli are less prone to rotation compared to Bergwijn.

Another thing I’d like to mention is that Spurs are third on the defensive ticker when sorted until Gameweek 38+ and, as mentioned by Mourinho in the press conference on Monday, Serge Aurier’s (£4.9m) competitors for that spot are injured which makes him a good pick in my books:

The only position where we don’t have [competition] is right-back because we have only Serge [Aurier] and nobody else. The other options, Tanganga and Foyth, they are both out.

3) But what about value?

Alexander-Arnold's consistency continues as Firmino unlucky to blank

I just didn’t think I could write an article at this point of time without addressing the value question.

Personally, I don’t attach too much importance to value as I always like shifting big hitters.

But even for the more traditional managers, you have accumulated value until this point of the season so that you can use it.

I would not worry about value too much with just eight Gameweeks to go. If you find a higher upside pick that has the potential to bring home a double-digit haul and the only reason you are not selling that player is value, you are playing this game wrong. I assure you that you will be able to buy that player later and if it means paying £0.5m more, so be it.

4) Don’t be afraid to chase hauls

I would also encourage all managers to use this unique situation that we are in to go haul-hunting.

All the transfers you make right now should be more focused towards chasing bigger hauls rather than making ‘balance-friendly’ moves that might not have a huge points impact.

We aren’t going to get very many opportunities this season to get the likes of a differential Richarlison (£8.3m) against a leaky Norwich defence.

While earlier in the season, you might think that you are going to be stuck with a transfer for a long time, as the Gameweeks keep passing us, you are only going to hold players for a shorter and shorter time period. That should help you increase your risk appetite.

5) I am looking at structure and price points

Is it time to invest in Arsenal assets after Gameweek 28? 9

While I’m on my Wildcard, I’m thinking about whether I want to go ahead with a 3-4-3 formation or a 3-5-2. I normally play a 3-4-3 but in this case I am considering switching to a 3-5-2 because I see more options in midfield than I do in the strike force.

I am also making sure all my money is spent on the pitch and not on the bench because I will want to bring in Manchester City assets in the near future and I want to keep those funds condensed into my attackers. That said, I do like fifth midfielders like Bukayo Saka (£4.7m) and Phil Foden (£5.1m) more than I like the budget strikers.

6) Short-term punts?

If you are interested in short-term gambles, there are a few I like depending on your team structure. I will mention four that I really like here:

  • Matt Ritchie (£5.3m)
  • Richarlison (£8.3m)
  • Ismaila Sarr (£6.4m) and Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.6m)

7) Why am I Wildcarding so early?

Many are not confident about Wildcarding so early into Project Restart because of the lack of enough information. While I see value in that point of view, I also think that we only have eight Gameweeks to play.

Being pro-active is the way I like playing the game and while you might argue that your team is ‘good enough’ for the week, my counter to you would be ‘why not go for ideal instead of good enough?’. 

Like I mentioned earlier, there are very few hauls left for the taking and I want to try being there for as many as possible. In addition, I don’t see the eco-system changing too much between Gameweek 31+ and Gameweek 33+ (famous last words).

On that note, I will take your leave. I will leave you with my latest Wildcard tinker but I cannot assure you that it will be my final team (I still have to watch Manchester City v Burnley):

I hope you will find my slightly unstructured article useful. Good luck for the Gameweek!

    3 years, 9 months ago

    FH-team..

    Martinez
    Doherty - AWB - Ritchie
    Son - KdB - Bruno - Mane - Adama
    Jimenez - Rashford

    Bench: Cheap as possible (Button, Connolly, Prödl, Foulqouier.

    0.6M ITB.

    A bit rough going without Liverpool defensively.. Could do KdB to a cheapo, Connolly to DCL, AWB to Trent and Martinez to DDG..

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

      Think I would rather go double Wolves defence than Adama

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

      don't even consider removing trent.

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think a good bench is more important than ever with the host of rotations on the card.

  2. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What are your thoughts on Burnley fellas? Will they bounce back or are they done for the season?

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Was surprised of the post-match comments Dyche made. Seems there's quite a bit going on at the club... unrest is never good for a club

    2. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm OK owning Pope but not that happy having Taylor too. Sounds like there's a lot of issues with players contracts and stuff going on behind the scenes.

    3. Jon Snow
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I personally wouldn't consider getting slapped around by City the end of the world, happens to almost everyone. (But I didn't watch the game)

    4. LAMELA_AND_CONSUELA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think that they are on the beach right now. Also Dyche's yesterday comment about Burnley's senior management approach to players contracts indicates that they may have internal problems out there. Therefore, I decided to dump Pope as my goalkeeper on my wildcard.

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I am thinking about dumping Pope too. Who is your replacement?

        1. LAMELA_AND_CONSUELA
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Foster same price. Other options Patricio (but I have Doh) and Ederson (but this need to downgrade ABW to some cheap defender)

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, not so much 'on the beach' as full of contract and injury problems. But also in the light of 2 seasons ago I can see them not wanting to qualify for Europa anyway. I'm looking at them and Blades as two sides who've now conked out and should be avoided for the run in.

  3. Jon Snow
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Still got BB to play. Hows the WC?

    Pope, Martinez
    TAA, Maguire, Doherty, Lascelles, Basham
    KdB, Bruno, ___, ____, ____
    Jimenez, DCL, ____

    A) Son, Mount, Saka, Rashford
    B) Alli, Salah, Guendouzi, Nketiah

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Prefer A. Do you really need Basham?

  4. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Maybe KDB over Mahrez?
    Mane over Salah?

    DDG/Martin
    TAA/Doherty/Saiss/Holgate/Lascelles
    Salah/Son/Mahrez/BrunoF/Foden
    Rash/Jim/Ings

    1. JamTart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Salah/Mane is always a coin toss. I'm leaning towards Mane since he was fully fit and has a lower ownership %. Salah has pens though.

      KdB is probably the safest but no one is safe. I'm definitely sticking with him for the value of having for him early. Mahrez on he radar for after the Liverpool fixture.

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

    Dele Alli over some to free funds?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Considering, can balance the team, see my post above

  6. JamTart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bottomed...

    Last questions.

    Pick Salah or Mane?

    Play Lascelles or Holgate?

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

      Mane and Holgate.

  7. JBG
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I'll try again, got no response :/.

    Thoughts on this FH team :

    Patricio
    TAA-Doherty-Soyuncu
    Mane-Fernandes-Martial-Son
    Rashford-Jimenez-DCL

    Bench fodder who plays.

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

      Soy is a fairly uninspiring pick in my opinion - Aurier maybe if you can stretch?

      Looks really good though

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

        Uninspiring yes, but feel they have a bigger chance of keeping a CS than Spurs, WH usually scores against them. But will consider it tbh. Thanks for the feedback!

    2. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Im not sure about Soy as I think Leic have lost the knack of clean sheets. Id go Justin if you were just after a presence in that team. Better still, id replace with a Newcastle defender.

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

        Hmm.. Guess you are right, went for Fernandez(Newcastle CB) and upgraded Guendozi to Saka(bench) thanks!

  8. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Good to go? Correct to play Saiss over Fernandez?

    DDG
    TAA, Doherty, Saiss
    Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Sarr
    Jimenez, Rashford, DCL

    Button l Fernandez, Holgate, Guendouzi

    1. Mingo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      With Doherty in the team I'd possibly split the risk and play Fernandez.

  9. YuvalFPL
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Planning to WC in gameweek 33.

    Is Ryan to Martinez a good move for this week? Or shall I just play McCarthy?

    1. Mingo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd just play McCarthy. Arsenal have looked woeful at the back so far.

  10. I Have No Idea What I'…
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Any changes needed to my wild card?

    De Gea
    TAA Doherty Saïss
    KDB Son Fernandes Barnes
    Vardy Ings Jiménez

    Martinez Aurier Armstrong Robinson

  11. Mingo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Great article, I'm always interested in what you have to say on here and the scoutcast. My wildcard is falling in a similar way, my big decision is KbD vs Mane / Salah. I think getting the balance of City / Liverpool players to players from "chasing teams" could be the key to a good finish from here. I'm worried about that Liverpool home fixture vs Villa but there are other captain options that day. For me KbD is crucial to how City play and I'm gambling on him still getting a majority of minutes.

    1. Jon Snow
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      For me at least, ditching Mane or Salah gives you almost 3m to play with. But if you ditch them now it's very difficult to bring them back

      1. Mingo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Usually I would agree, but I can do it in 2 moves relatively easily. If they blow Palace away and look really good against City then I will get one back in for Villa. They just didn't look that fluid against Everton. I will have Vardy up front, he can be sacrificed to upgrade Son or Richarlison/United 2nd mid if needs be.

  12. olidooley
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    It’s a good article Lateriser. Can’t argue with any of it. Comes down to what type of fpl manager you are in the end

  13. FPLMarc
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Was all set for this FH31:

    De Gea
    TAA - Doherty - Lascelles
    Salah - Fernandes - Son - Richarlison
    Rashford - Jimenez - DCL

    But I really want Vardy. Would you downgrade Son to Alli and Doherty to Saiss?

    (a) Son, DCL, Doherty
    (b) Alli, Vardy, Saiss

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

      Would leave as is. You can't have them all.

  14. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    WC. Just trying to decide on Mahrez or Richarlison. Any thoughts before I head down a rabbit hole?

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

      Im guessing Rich will play more

      1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, I agree. Mahrez has looked great all season, though. I've been thinking start with Richarlison, and Mahrez can always cone in down the line.

        1. Mingo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I'd do that, Norwich & Leicester for Richarlison. Then switch him to Mahrez or United mid after City have cleared Chelsea and Liverpool.

    2. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Get rich now. Change after the Liverpool game

  15. CheesyZoot

      Haha I just asked the same.
      Obviously I have no idea but DCL's form is super and Bergwijn is a rotation risk (but will start most imo)

    3. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years

      Obviously a hot topic but pretty clear thoughts, will go with B

    YOLO

    Madness?

    Lascelles and Fernandez (+ Foden) on bench

  25. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Convince me to get Salah over Mane on my FH.

    1. Nimby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Takes the penalties, tends to do better at home. That's about it.

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If I had to...

      - Salah is fully rested but fit (given he was on the bench)
      - Mane was only attacker to play full 90 so more likely to have his minutes managed.
      - Salah is on penalties
      - Liverpool will be desperate to beat Palace

    3. Shark Team
      • 6 Years

      Mane supposed to leave at the end of the season so you never know what Kloppo is thinking

      He was rested. Was warming up to come in (reportedly) when Matip got injured so is probably injury free.
      Looked eager to join the game. Big star that Klopp wont want to leave out for too long (make him unhappy)
      He is on Penos. Will be fresh (but touch can sometimes be off after a break).

    Anyone know of any sites currently offering single-GW tournaments for £/$ with roughly official FPL scoring? Fantasybet has died during lockdown 🙁

    If you shaved a bit off your cheap defenders to enable

    SAKA (4.7) >> FODEN (5.1)

    is it worth it for every 2nd game (pick Foden after he is rested) or would Saka every week bring in more?

      I think Foden will more likely play PL and less in Cup and CL

      Arsenal in dissaray so maybe have McCarthy in goal and consider Jimenez as nice differential captain.
