The ‘glue guys’ who will be set-and-forget FPL options on my Gameweek 3 Wildcard

Lateriser, who finished 30th in the world last season, discusses the Fantasy assets who he’ll be sticking with over the coming weeks and months.

I am one of many managers who is deploying their Wildcard right now and one of the reasons for that is the emergence of a few ‘glue guys’ – that and the fact that I’ve had a terrible start, and my overall rank is around the 4.5 million mark.

Glue guys are the kind of picks in a particular ‘value’ price bracket that you just need to set in your team and forget about for a long time because they will continue to offer bang for buck for the mid-to-long term.

It’s important to filter these out because if you’re Wildcarding this early in the season, you need to get these picks right so that your team has enough stability.

It’s the emergence of these glue guys and a few long-term trends that I’m particularly comfortable ‘banking’ on that has me Wildcarding early. It was the similar emergence of assets like Caglar Soyuncu (£5.5m), John Lundstram (£5.5m) and Todd Cantwell early last season that instilled me with confidence to Wildcard early.

So who are the ‘glue guys’ that I’m looking at early this season?

Tariq Lamptey (£4.5M)

Brighton look like a different team this season, especially with the addition of highly-rated Ben White (£4.5m) in their side. They have been very impressive in the first two games and look to me like a team that is going to do much better than they did last year.

What Tariq Lamptey (£4.5m) gives us is the ability to provide points at both ends of the pitch at a cut-price rate.

What is FPL Upside Chasing and how can I implement it in 2020/21?

    Hi all, on wc and down to last decision

    A> TAA + Dunne
    B> Robba + Lamptey

    Rest of defense is Justin Saiss Mitchell, playing 3 at the back most week.
    Leaning towards the better bench security of Robbo Lamptey

    Havertz scoring a Hattie against a struggling championship side doesn’t make him a good option at all, he’s struggling to adapt with the speed of the PL... the speed of the championship doesn’t compare and isn’t a true indicator at all imo

    Can't shake the feeling KDB won't be playing #10 against Leicester. Foden will partner him in midfield, and Sterling - Jesus - Mahrez will be the front three. Mirrors exactly what happened last time and I see zero reason why that should change. Of course, Foden's minutes have mainly come in the front three but he played next to KDB in the FA Cup against Newcastle. If that's the case, my (C) looks more towards Salah, Werner and Sterling.

      Fernandinho isn’t fit enough to play every week so you could be right, Silva and Gundogan also missing will probably move Foden into mid and force a formation change back to 433. Don’t think this hinders KDB though

          He's on pens against a fairly slow/inexperienced defence with Sterling and Jesus running channels for his passing game. I'm still taking the plunge.

            Cheers all, KWP > Lamptey done.

            Depending on how Werner plays, next GW move will probably be him for Jiminez.
