How Wildcarding top 10k FPL managers have prepared for Double Gameweek 19

A significant portion of Fantasy Premier League managers inside the top 10,000 overall rankings re-shaped their squads for Gameweek 16.

9.3% of those deployed the first Wildcard at the last chance of asking for the final Gameweek of 2020 – with Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) very much a key figure.

Thanks to the data on LiveFPL.net, we can analyse which other assets played a part in this squad shuffle, especially thinking of the upcoming Blank and Double Gameweeks.

Firstly, we can see that, as the Gameweek 16 deadline passed, 92.0% of top 10k managers had used the first Wildcard.

That means that just over 8.0% of those at this level proverbially ‘wasted’ it by leaving the chip unused.

Could that indicate a degree of inactivity even among the top 10k, or were there that many managers happy enough with their existing squad not to need it. Imaging that luxury is enough to make anyone envious.

As you can see from the bar chart above, we can see that, after 16 Gameweeks, 5.0% of the top 10k achieved their lofty rank without the use of even one chip.

64.6% have deployed one, almost certainly the Wildcard based on the rule of probability, while the relative lack of managers to have used more than that suggests we should see plenty Triple Captains, Free Hits and Bench Boosts when the Blank and Double Gameweeks come around.

As mentioned already, Salah was the key man on top 10k Wildcards, selected by 95.9% of these managers, the most of any asset.

He is marginally more popular than Bruno Fernandes (£11.1m) and Patrick Bamford (£6.5m), included in 95.8% and 94.6% of top 10k Wildcard squads respectively.

Despite blanking in five of the last nine Gameweeks, Son Heung-min (£9.7m) is not far behind the trio in terms of Wildcard support, chosen by 88.0% of these managers. 

Back-to-back home matches against newly-promoted opposition are sure to have influenced that decision, as well as a fixture in Blank Gameweek 18, taking Spurs to Villa Park.

Midfield is certainly an area where the top 10k have been as unanimous as possible in terms of selection, Tomáš Souček (£5.1m) selected by 70.2% of Wildcarders at this level ahead of a Double Gameweek line-up of Burnley (home) and West Bromwich Albion (home).

Apart from Bamford, the top 10k were less emphatic in the overall choices up-front. It is certainly noteworthy that Harry Kane (£11.0m) was considerably less popular in these Wildcard squads than Son with 55.7% inclusion.

Also interesting is the fact that Che Adams (£6.1m) has picked up the support of 41.7%, the value offered by a striker facing Leicester (away) and Leeds (away) in Double Gameweek 19.

Premium defenders struggled to get much of a look-in for top 10k Wildcarders, none of the top-five most-fashionable assets in this position costing more than £5.0m at the time of writing.

James Justin‘s (£5.0m) remarkable powers of recovery have helped him start and play 90 minutes in every match for Leicester this season, even between Gameweeks 15 and 16.

The top 10k have cottoned onto that, especially those Wildcarding, 62.0% choosing him ahead of a Double Gameweek 19 line-up of Southampton (home) and Chelsea (home).

Charlie Taylor (£4.5m) and Stuart Dallas (£4.7m) are in just shy of 60% of top 10k Wildcard squads, with Vladimir Coufal (£4.7m) and Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.8m) also extensively included.

In terms of what these selections mean for future chip planning, the fact that so many popular Wildcard assets are Double Gameweekers indicates the Free Hit could receive extensive attention in Blank Gameweek 18.

In terms of how that compares with the template for the rest of the top 10k rank bracket, there are some notable exclusions.

Jack Grealish (£7.8m) is in 53.8% of squads at this level but did not feature in the Wildcard template.

The same goes for Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m), currently owned by 62.8% of the top 10k.

Meanwhile, it is clear that the Wildcarders at this level used the chip to bring their defence in line with the overall template, the same five players appearing in each matrix we have compared.

Finally, Salah is the most dangerous asset in the top 10k for Gameweek 16, backed by 54.3% for the captaincy.

That brings his effective ownership at this level to 142.8%, 46.1 percentage points higher than the second-placed in that category: Manchester United midfielder Fernandes.

It is also interesting to note how the stock of Spurs attackers has fallen, especially in the captaincy debate.

A home meeting with Fulham stood out to many as a key game for those in possession of Son and Kane – less so now.

Spurs’ own slump is likely a contributing factor as well as Fulham’s improved defensive displays.

As a result, Kane and Son were captained only by 19.8% and 13.5% of the top 10k respectively.

    Which combo would you play next GW?
    A. Martinez (mun) Soucek (eve)
    B. Johnstone (ARS) Grealish (mun)

    1. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B for me.

  2. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    More from Lampard on possibility of Chelsea v Man City in Gameweek 17 being postponed: "From our point of view, I'll find out more to make sure it's safe for the two teams. Otherwise the game won't go ahead."

    And so many City assets and Chilwell are top for transfers in and will rise tonight

    1. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That game is not going ahead this weekend. No chance.

      1. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Seems pretty unlikely.

    2. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Chelsea in danger too now ofc after city closed the pitch ok that's interesting

  3. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    My son who's 9 years old is 50k and has maybe spent 30 minutes total on his team while I have maybe spent 500 hours on my team am 500K.

    Depressing

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That's odd. The Gudjohnsen family are well-known for passing down skills from father to son!

    2. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He is just smart - admit it 😀

    3. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why depressed, be a proud father instead.

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        he is - just telling us how much luck is involved

      D

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      For now D, but wait and see if any news on rescheduled fixtures comes out.

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah wondering if City v Everton game will go into 19.

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah, exactly. Best to wait for as much information as possible.

  5. sergioaguero67
    • 8 Years

    Chances of Antonio getting fit for GW19?
    Please help.

    1. Whiskerz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Would love it, but doubt it

      1. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He will most likely be fit, only, with his injury record can you trust he will play full 90 in both games?

    2. Saka_me_sideways
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He may be fit by GW19 next season

  6. sergioaguero67
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Please don't tell me this City fixture postponed today goes to DGW 19

      1. Ozzy smith
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Does anything in that article actually suggest rearrangement in DGW19 is on the cards?

        1. aborg
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Quote: 'The fixture, which was set to take place at Goodison Park, will now need to be rearranged in the new year and City's stars of past and present have been reacting to the news'

  7. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Chances of Leeds keeping a CS?

    have Dallas and Struijk

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

      Well, if you have to ask, you know it deep down.

    2. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years

      50%

  8. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is Johnson nailed now that he’s fit?

    1. MGMT
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Until Masuaku is fit

      1. Alan_T
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Bad advice

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hope so as will need him from my bench and was one of the bright prospects from the Brighton game but may revert back to 4 at the back....

  9. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts?

    A, Grealish, Forester > El Ghazi, Flappy or Johnstone

    B, Grealish, Forester, Zouma > El Ghazi, Trent, Johnstone -4

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I don’t think taking a hit on a keeper is wise

  10. Patson Dabaka
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bought Grealish for 7.1, selling price is 7.4. Can I eat a price drop tonight? He's 7.8 currently. Maths ain't my strong point haha

    1. MGMT
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes you can

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, you will be fine.

      If the difference between the buy price and the current price is an odd number (0.7 in your case) you will be fine with 1 more price drop. If it is an even number though, you lose 0.1 in sell value on the next drop

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yep you are absolutely safe.

      Happy to use my Mathematics degree for some good! 😉

    4. Patson Dabaka
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Legends all 3 of you

    5. Mweene
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Was going to ask exactly same question to double check!

  11. MGMT
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is Watkins --> DCL for free a no-brainer?

    1. Ozzy smith
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Probably was in GW9, certainly not now.

      1. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah not really in the best form atm.

    2. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      DCL is about to drop in price, likely today or this week. If you're gonna do it, you can wait for the drop.

    3. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Watkins is better

    4. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I sold for Bamford a few weeks ago, not sure why you would be wanting to bring him in now and lose Watkins...

      1. MGMT
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Fixtures, and DCL is a better striker in a better team that will improve with JRod back...

    5. Kane and Ablett
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Wait for the price drop, I’ve just sold Watkins , he was so frustrating to watch

      1. MGMT
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thats what Im thinking, transfer him in once he is 7.9. Maybe even catching a Watkins price rise before doing so.

  12. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Which combo?

    1) Barnes, Martial
    2) Soucek, Vardy

    1. Ozzy smith
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      2

    2. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Combo 2

  13. AF90
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Just checking, if I have 2FT's to use in GW17 I need to use them both if playing Free Hit in GW18?

    As any transfers made in GW18 are wiped out when playing Free Hit, correct? Thanks

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Might as well. Because you can't save any!

  14. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on these moves after BGW18?
    To get more DGW players and squad depth.

    Son, Brewster ->
    Martial, Soucek (-4)

    1. djman102
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Rumor is United may start playing Cavani up front, meaning Martial either loses his places or goes reverse OOP on the wing. You'll at least have time to monitor it though.

  15. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Chances of Burke starting or at least featuring for Sheffield?

    Otherwise I’ll be fielding 10!

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

      He's most likely a 0 or 1 pointer. Wouldn't stress much.

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He probably will. 1 or 2 pointer maybe. Still better than 0!

  16. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    With such few sales, why would DCL and Grealish be falling in price tonight?

    Doesn’t add up.

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Many wildcards played before today's deadline

  17. MSTRKRFTSMN
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Has it bed pretty-determined this year what will happen if there’s too much COVID disruption? I.e. the league is void or league winners are whoever is til when the season is abandoned etc

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Would probably have to play a play off style finish for title and relegation I’d imagine?

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      The second one would be dumb considering not everyone will have played same number of games by that point.

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I doubt it will be the latter given teams will not have played an equal game.

      I'm confident it will be voided if things ended in March, for example. As for CL/EL placings, no idea what would happen.

    4. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Based on first 19+ games

      If less than 19 are played, season is void

  18. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    What is the best option for less than 4.1m defs.

    A)Mitchell
    B) Strujik
    C) Amartey
    D) One of the pool ungfellas

  19. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Already done Aguero to Vardy... stupid?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not stupid, would likely have been done anyway at some point. Just hope Leicester's fixtures are not COVID-affected now.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yup... rising aswell. Just tried looking for your link but don’t have one. How did you end up mate?

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I had both drafts lined up at 13:20 - one using BB and one as I had planned. In the end after much deliberation I went with the BB variant. Kind of regret it to be honest, but it's time I tried to be aggressive for once.

          Didn't go with Robbo / TAA as they ruined the BB.

          I've got Meslier vs your Johnstone.
          Dias & Dier vs Robertson & Dallas
          Identical midfield
          Kane vs Aguero

          1. The Count of Monte Cristo
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks once again for the help recently 🙂 Hopefully the NY brings up both more luck and enjoyment 😀

            1. Tsparkes10
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              No worries mate, you too 🙂 glad you joined me... like the meslier pick tbh. I was so close to going Firmino or Cavani over Aguero, went with the ballsy pick and got let down but owell. Soucek hopefully points off the bench 🙂

              GL mate, sure we’ll keep up with the advice

    2. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Doesn't matter now! Seems ok though.

    3. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not stupid but you may have to do the opposite next blank week .. and Captian 😀

  20. Ozzy smith
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Who’s the better pick? Will own Vardy + Bamford.

    A) Raphinha (tot BHA SOU)
    B) Barnes (new SOU CHE)

    1. OleBall
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B

  21. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Any chance of city and everton getting a dgw 18 or 19?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      If they do then United Burnley will happen then as well. They'd have to take away the winter break for these teams though which seems unfair.

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes there's a chance and it would be DGW19...

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        damn.. have already built up my team for BB 19 and that has only one player from city and Everton... early WC inc...

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes
      In 19 probably.
      Wait

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        yeah.. so much uncertainty...

  22. MagicMessi

    Any United fans know if Pogba will start ? Thx

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years

      Start what? A fight in an empty car park?

      1. MagicMessi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Haha probably

          • Has Moderation Rights

          😆

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes imo. Cavani too

      1. MagicMessi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thx

  23. FPL Theorist
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Love to see all these people selling Grealish. He's only averaging 6.4 points per match this season with Villa having played two fewer than other teams, on track to score 244 points. Terrible for a 7.5 midfielder.

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      How does he compare to El Ghazi over the last 4 games?

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Fair enough, but are people selling him for El Ghazi? Before today, it was Raphinha that everyone was going for.

    2. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed
      Play Grealesh Vs mun
      Or Siggurdson Vs Westham
      ?

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Grealish. United's defence is nothing special.

      He only returns once every 4 games and other players are taking the shots now.

      Take away his major outlier and he falls into the pack.

    Funny old game week! Would appreciate who you all prefer out of the following options for my KDB out transfer:

    A) Maddison
    B) El Ghazi
    C) Barnes
    D) Neto

    I'm leaning towards Maddison personally, though my gut is warning me it's a trap (he's burned me before).

    Huh ? I checked an hour ago and Mings was over 100% to drop and now he is back to zero? Is that just because they removed the red flag for his suspension?

    1. djman102
      • 14 Years

      I think you're correct-transfers are reset to zero when a flag is removed.

    With 2FT and 3 City-asets, should I transfer them out?

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Almost the same to mine bar: Cancelo Lamptey > Taylor Coufal

      Wait for Friday

    2. Kane and Ablett

      Wait for news but you’ve got great options

      1. Hazardous1983
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Do u have amy examples

    3. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Are you sure you want to FH18?

      GW18 you have:
      no GK
      Dias Mitchell
      Son Podence
      Watkins Kane

      If you upgrade Steer to a GK who plays GW18 (Leno? Pickford? ... or if you want to be cheap, Sanchez?) you might get by without the FH?

      1. Hazardous1983
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thats 6 or 7 starters is that enough. And.mitchells not guranteed a star

        1. Karhumies
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Is the FH18 worth getting 4-5 SGW starters more, or is the FH more valuable to get 11 DGW starters during a future DGW? GW26 is supposedly the next DGW?

          You have 1 FT for GW17 and a second FT for GW18 so you could upgrade Steer + Mitchell using the two transfers, then TC19, save FH for GW26 and save BB.

          1. Hazardous1983
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Very good point... whose best tc

            1. Karhumies
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              GW19 you already have:
              McCarthy
              Zouma Taylor Coufal
              Salah Bruno Son Soucek
              Kane Bamford (Watkins)

              That seems like a pretty solid DGW19 team if you plan to TC and not BB. Although you could use the GW19 FT to upgrade Watkins into a DGW forward if you like (Adams, Wood, Antonio if fit?).

              TC will be either Salah (ManU, Burnley) or Bruno (Liverpool, Fulham). I think most will go for Salah so he is the "safe" option.

                These are some very good pointers

                What is ur rank if u dont mind me askin

                Is this ur plans also

                1. Karhumies
                  • 11 Years
                  3 years, 3 months ago

                  Current rank 1.5M, last season 100k. My plan is to FH18 and BB19...but I had to take three hits over 3 GWs to enable the BB because the prices of my planned GK2, mid4 and mid5 started to rise very rapidly, so that plan has already backfired on me pretty much.
