My Wildcard squad for Double Gameweek 26 and when I’m Free Hitting

It has never been more important for Fantasy Premier League managers to get their chip strategy right as we face more Blank and Double Gameweeks between now and the end of the 2020/21 season.

14 teams play twice in Double Gameweek 26 so the points-ceilings for a Wildcard, Free Hit, Triple Captain and Bench Boost are all higher than usual.

And, while preparing the biggest Double Gameweek of the season is very exciting, I still have half an eye on the tricky Blank Gameweeks in the months to come.

I have already used my Triple Captain chip in Double Gameweek 19 and my Bench Boost in Double Gameweek 24, so I am deploying my Wildcard in Double Gameweek 26 to focus on moving my cash back into the starting XI after spreading it out on bench players.

This was my squad at the end of Gameweek 25:

I want to move out my contingent of West Ham and Burnley players and focus more money on the starting XI for the remainder of the season.

This is how my Wildcard squad is currently shaping up;:

I have made a total of eight changes, which is on par for what I would expect with the second Wildcard. I could have possibly done without it but I saw it as an opportunity to restructure my squad for the long-term, and also for Blank Gameweek 29.

Like Blank Gameweek 18, I am struggling to see fixtures I want to attack here.

Brighton v Newcastle, on paper, looks like an appealing fixture for the Seagulls but they are such an unpredictable team. No team has had more shots than Brighton (106) over the last six Gameweeks but no team has scored fewer goals (four). I would find it difficult to back the likes of Neal Maupay (£6.1m) and any more than one defender would feel a bridge too far given Newcastle’s need for points.

Aston Villa’s form is on a downward trajectory while Tottenham Hotspur are not exactly setting the league alight with their attacking displays. It feels like a 1-1 kind of fixture and I can’t pick a clear winner here. I’m likely going to have Son Heung-min (£9.5m), Harry Kane (£11.1m) and Emiliano Martinez (£5.3m).

With West Ham v Arsenal, again, I am struggling to pick a clear winner here. West Ham are arguably the favourites given their form this season but again I don’t see a blowout win for either team.

Fulham v Leeds is the fixture I really like. I’d want Raphinha (£5.4m) and Patrick Bamford (£6.9m) for this one and possibly one of Ademola Lookman (£5.0m) or Josh Maja (£5.5m).

If I were to use my Free Hit in Gameweek 29, it would probably look something like this:

It hardly fills me with confidence, and we could see another 30-40 point week. I can’t even pick a captain I really like here. There are also quite a few attackers up against the defenders so again the point ceiling is low.

I think it could be a case of quality over quantity. With Son, Kane, Martinez and Ben White (£4.4m) already in the squad, I can focus on bringing in four players for GW29 (three FT+a hit) which would likely be Raphinha, Patrick Bamford, Michail Antonio (£6.5m) and maybe Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.4m), depending on Arsenal’s form. I’d rather have Jack Grealish (£7.6m) if he’s fit though.

What appeals to me here is that Leeds have Sheffield United in Gameweek 30, so I am happy to retain their attackers for the following week. Harvey Barnes (£6.7m) is an easy transition to Raphinha, given Barnes has a blank in 29 and then Manchester City in 30. Antonio has Wolves, which is not too bad. Aubameyang has Liverpool, which isn’t as stern a test as it used to be. Villa have Fulham in Gameweek 30 too.

When will I use my Free Hit?

Gameweek 33 is the week of the League Cup Final which means Spurs, Man City and their originally scheduled league opponents Southampton and Fulham have a missing fixture. The fixtures in 33 are far more appealing in terms of points potential.

The Villa v West Brom, Liverpool v Newcastle and Leicester v Crystal Palace fixtures appeal as does Leeds v Manchester United. I would feel much more comfortable loading up on assets from these teams for a Free Hit and I see more potential for a bigger score here. The ticker colour coding gives it away – there are way more blue fixtures in this week.

It is worth mentioning Spurs play Sheffield United in Gameweek 34, so this would let you retain their assets for that fixture. Spurs in general have a good fixture run between 27-30 (Palace, Arsenal, Villa, Newcastle) so I don’t mind holding their assets, despite their stuttering form. Man City have Palace away too in 34.

Also, there is a small chance that the pending Spurs v Southampton fixture goes to Gameweek 32, if Man City beat Everton in the FA Cup. If that is the case, Spurs having a double in 32 and a blank in 33 would make things tricky to navigate without the Free Hit in 33.

Conclusion

A lot could change between now and Gameweek 29, but I am not seeing the upside in a Gameweek 29 Free Hit at the moment. Getting the right six-to-seven players should be enough to keep up with those who do use their Free Hit, as we saw in Gameweek 18.

We have covered Free Hit strategy as well as Double Gameweek 26 extensively in this week’s edition of The FPL Wire (https://youtu.be/xP3DuM_MFPM) where Lateriser and I are joined by fellow Pro Pundit Tom Freeman. I highly recommend a listen to get you prepped for the biggest double gameweek ever.

Good luck and hope you enjoyed reading.

    RP: Last piece of the puzzle:

    Play Shaw over A or B, I feel Shaw will play both games where as Stones and Dias more likely to only play the one. Just feel Dias more nailed in the team now Laporte is back.

    A) Stones
    B) Dias
    C) Other

    Martinez
    Dias*, Stones*, Digne
    Salah, Gundo, Fernandes, Barnes
    DCL(TC), Kane, Watkins

    Sanchez, Shaw*, Grealish, Struijk

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That's tough. I would play him over Stones

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Shaw over Stones. Stone may only play 1 game. Shaw could haul in Utd's 2nd fixture against Palace

  2. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I am quite set on Bamford to Kane (exact cash), but any non-Kane transfers could be gold here? 1ft, 3.5itb, hits welcomed.

    Martinez
    Cancelo Dias White
    Salah Bruno Gundogan Barnes Raph
    DCL Bamford

    Pope Dallas Antonio Cresswell

    BB, FH already used.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would start Dallas ahead of White. Just do Bamford/Antonio to Kane and you are GTG

  3. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best option for 26?

    A. Pope and Soucek to Forster and Barnes (-4)
    B. Holding to Targett/Aina
    C. Soucek to Lookman
    D. Roll FT

    TC26 WC31 FH33

    2FT 3.7itb
    Martinez
    Cancelo Stones Digne
    Salah Bruno Gundo Raphinha*
    Kane DCL Bamford*
    (Pope Soucek Cresswell Holding)

    1. Zlatan F.C
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Soucek to Lookman

      1. Zlatan F.C
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Why would A be - 4 if you have 2FT?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Oops well done for spotting that. It should be 1FT 1.1itb. You think Lookman +4 could outscore Barnes for 26-28?

  4. RedJive79
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How's this WC looking? Too much Leicester?

    Martinez
    Pereira / Cancelo / Stones
    Bruno / Barnes / Salah / Gundo / Son
    Kane / DCL

    3.9 / Dallas / Veltman / Brewster

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't say two LEI is too much. GTG

    2. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      agreed GTG

    3. RedJive79
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Or Shaw instead of Pereira?

  5. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Morning all. 3.0m itb. Will bench boost Sanchez, White, Dallas, JWP just to get it out of the way.

    JWP to Barnes or Son for a hit?

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

      Barnes, yes

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks Holmes

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Prob yes and Barnes

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah it's probably worth it. Not sure which of Barnes or Son though. If you would be taking another hit to get a Saints player next GW, then it's a -8, though, so then I would say no, regardless of how well Barnes or Son do.

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Won't get him back for 27, so I'll do it. Fare well sir

  6. Zlatan F.C
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Honestly not sure what to do here? 1FT 3.6m itb

    Martinez
    Cancelo Dias Mee Dallas
    Salah Bruno Gundo Raph
    DCL Bamford

    Pope Antonio Grealish Coufal

    A) Antonio Grealish to Kane(TC) and Lookman - 4
    B) Antonio Grealish and Pope to Kane(TC) Barnes and Aerola - 8
    C) Antonio Grealish and Coufal to Kane Lookman and Castagne - 8 and play BB...

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      With a heavy bench I would be inclined to BB this GW and get it out the way. You can TC in another GW like City in 27 or potentially Spurs in 32

  7. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hey fam! Is this worth -12 for Bench Boost?

    Antonio Coufal Tarkowski Bamford to Watkins Dias Digne Maja.

    Gives me the following team

    Martinez Areola
    Cancelo Dias Maguire Digne Targett
    Salah Bruno Son Gundogan Raphinha
    DCL Watkins Maja

    1. Gives me 3rd City player in Dias with two back to back DGWs.

    2. Gives me Digne for amazing DGW this week and possibly GW28 as well.

    3. Maja gives me a DGW26 as well as BGW29 player.

    4. Watkins becomes my 3rd Villa player with couple of DGWs coming up and a player for BGW29.

    5. Will probably get 3 players who play in BGW29 with three FTs from GW27 to GW29. ( Mostly Bamford, Dallas & Dunk for DCL, Maguire & Cancelo/Dias)

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

      Bamford and Tarkowski to Dias and Maja can be avoided I guess

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Coufal to Digne not possible then :/

  8. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Getting a range of response, so first to 5 wins:

    Martinez
    Cancelo Stones Robertson
    Salah Fernandes Gundogan Raphinha
    Bamford DCL Kane

    Pope Soucek Coufal Ferguson

    1FT, 0.8itb

    1. Ferguson >> Konsa [10DGWs] (play Bamford or Raphinha)
    2. Robertson >> Digne [9DGWs] (play Bamford and Raphinha)

    Thanks

    1. Vlekz
        3 years, 1 month ago

        B looks appealing because of Liverpools past form, but Sheffield chelsea both could be clean sheets due to their opponents lack than their strength.

        I would do 1 but with holgate/rudiger.

        1. FCSB
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Is Holgate nailed?

      • jb1985
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        B) Digne will get you more points

        1. FCSB
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Just conscious Liverpool come good and they have decent fixtures next 3

    2. tim
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yoyo lads!

      Worth taking a -16 just for a good bench boost or use wildcard for solid team of

      martinez
      cancelo, dias, shaw
      son gundo barnes salah bruno
      kane watkins

      random bench for blank gw.

      Cheers!

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Once you hit -12 I would WC

      2. puhd
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        -16 too much imo

      3. CC22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I had a similar dilemma and went for the wildcard. Realistically you’ll do well to get more than 16 points from that BB if they’re likely fairly cheap options that have a GW29 fixture, so you may as well wildcard.

        1. tim
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers guys!

          Was thinking the same, team needs some fixing anyway, so WC it is.

      • 5 Years

      When do EL fixtures get announced? Some time today? Only thing to persuade me onto DCL would be the likelihood of double DGWs - even then King lurks who Ancelotti says will start some

        I think we could see King, DCL and Richi all start with King on the right side of a front 3. Pretty sure he played similar role at times for Bournemouth when Wilson was up top.

      Hey all,

      Mark and I recorded FPL BlackBox Episode 23 – Go Large – last night and there's lots of ways you can watch / listen if you missed it.

      The idea of FPL BlackBox is to reflect back on the mistakes we make during the season to try and become better managers.

        I love BlackBox. It might be about on a par with the other FPL podcasts in terms of analysis but it's a cut above when it comes to entertainment. The fixtures section of you vs Mark is always great fun.

      1. Tonyawesome69

        I would take a hit Mee to Digne

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Can't afford that, I'm afraid

            • 5 Years

            ah are you 0.1 off?

            1. Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Yup. I can sell TAA for him if I need him for GW28.

      2. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Deulo! Probably nothing worth a hit as you have 0FT. Im considering a hit to get Barnes for some Leicester though.

        You not gonna BB right? Then stick

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          No BB. I blew it in GW1 😀

      3. puhd
        • 9 Years

        GTG, not too template. Nice to see TAA in a team.

      4. mad_beer ✅
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Mee is SGW as well. Mee to Targett would work but I'm not sure it's worth the hit.

        1. mad_beer ✅
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Didn't notice Targ in your team. Oops.

        2. mad_beer ✅
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Dier is always an option.

        3. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Mee plays tot & LEI

          1. mad_beer ✅
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            They do. I missed that. In that case why aren't you starting Ings?

            1. Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Finding it to be a close call, personally, but you're the first person here to suggest that Ings might be better. Hoping for a minimum of 4 points from Mee, while Ings averages 4.6 per game. I think Mee is probably marginally the sensible pick.

      Jesus>Kane leaves me enough for Antonio>Watkins for a -4. Worth doing?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not if Grealish is out for the double

      Is Mee to Shaw worth a hit?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I would do that. I can't see Burnley keeping a CS and Shaw could get a CS in the Chelsea (0-0) and haul in the Palace game

      Fantasy app flickering this morning, someone else have same problem?

    11. Gunners in Haaland

      For -4
      Barnes or Vardy?

      1. user.n
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Vardy

      2. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Depends who you take out for each?

      3. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Depends who you are losing. I would prefer the cheaper option in Barnes.

      Why do I have a hunch that Bruno will score more points against Palace than Kane will in both his games

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Chelsea fan?

        1. Jet5605
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          No but they are tighter under Tuchel

        2. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Bruno on 25% chance to return in fpl according to bookies... the likes of Bale, Giroud and Maja are all much higher...

          1. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Bruno v Chelsea that is

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

            vs Chelsea or over both games?

      2. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Problem is heavily relying on one fixture whereas Kane could tick over with a goal in each game

    13. Aster
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio to Watkins and play Watkins over Bamford?

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

        nope

      2. marcos11
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I would l think

      3. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not if Grealish is out for the double

    14. sp1122
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Robbo to Ricardo Pereira for -8?

      Current defence is Stones, Dias, Diane, Dallas, Robbo

      Planning to TC Kane

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

        nope

      2. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Nope

        Robbo could do we this gw.

      3. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Would be a -4 not a -8 no? Each hit is 4 pts

        1. sp1122
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Already taken a -4 which was Ings, Bednerak & Grealish to Kane, Digne and ASM

      4. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No

    15. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A. Sterling, Ings
      B. Gundogan, Kane -4

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        B, Sterling won't play twice imo

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          this

    16. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      How do I get Kane into this? 1FT 0.4ITB. Might have to go without him
      Martinez
      Alonso,Robbo,Dias,Stones
      Salah,Gundogan,Fernandes,Raphinha
      Bamford,DCL

      Button, Maddison,Ings,Lowton

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You don’t.

        1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks, needed this. Feel like he just destroys me team.

          1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            my*

          2. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Strong bench you could possibly downgrade... have you Used BB yet?

            1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Not yet

      2. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Would need -8 thanks to your overloaded def. Robbo? You would otherwise need to sell Salah or Bruno for -4. You're goosed.

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Actually just spotted Ings on your bench. Get rid of him and Robbo

          1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah think I’ll do this

      3. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I would downgrade Robbo and use the funds to do Ings to Kane for a -4

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed

      4. Goonsquad245
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Maddison to 4.4, Ings to Kane -4

      5. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ings and Robbo > Kane and XX

        Depends if you have cover for 29.

    17. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Aguero will start one of these games and sub in the other.

      Too soon to get him in?

      1. McSauce
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        yes IMO, bad year of injuries

      2. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Start is optimistic

      3. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not worth the risk when you already can get Kane, DCL and Vardy for those 3 FWD spots

    18. damiang2233
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Best replacement for Grealish? €7.6m to spend

      Already have Salah, Fernandes, Barnes & Raphinha.

      1. McSauce
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Maddison if fit or Gundy?

        1. damiang2233
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Thinking Gundagean as already have Barnes and as you outlined Maddison injury doubt.

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

            This

      2. AC Yew
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Gundo?

        1. damiang2233
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Seems to be the best option right?

          1. AC Yew
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Yep no one else at that price point

    19. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ings >> Kane with my FT. Either (or both) of these worth a hit?

      A. Coufal >> Digne (-4)
      B. Soucek >> Barnes (-4)
      C. Both for -8?
      D. Play WC.

      Pope
      Dias, Cancelo, Tarko
      Son, Bruno, Gündo, Raphina
      Kane, DCL, Bamford
      (McCarthy, Dallas, Coufal, Soucek)

      1. Abaddon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        B. My plan is antonio and sou to kane and barnes for -4

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

          Agree

      2. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        B - that is the two transfer I'll be doing for a -4

    20. Jet5605
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Need to downgrade Pope in order to do Soucek > Barnes. Any 4.4 or less GK's I should get? Is Ryan at Arsenal the best hope?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Just go fodder like Fabri at 3.9 or Forster at 4.0

    21. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Any other gameweeks where there is a standout choice where TC chip could be used instead? Having a hard time trying to pick this GW.

        DGW27
        Man City (MUN+SOU)

        DGW32 (?)
        Kane/Son (eve+SOU) - only likely to happen if MCI beat EVE

        DGW37(??)
        Kane/Son (AVL+SOU) - only likely to happen if EVE beat MCI

          Thanks. Looks like this is the still the best week to use it.

      Good article - I like the 'I don't have a WC but if I did this is how I'd use it' part.
      Hadn't really considered Shaw for the DGW. Had the likes of Aina, Targett or Digne in mind.

    23. aapoman

      Watkins or Barnes? I can free hit in gw29 if I want to.

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

        Barnes, Watkins is frustrating to own and seems weak when playing. And no Grealish to serve him assists
