Why I’m Wildcarding before a Double Gameweek 27 Bench Boost

Tom Freeman has finished inside Fantasy Premier League’s top 1k a staggering five times in his career. He is back with his latest column outling his plans for Double Gameweek 26 and beyond.


So, where were we? The last time I checked in, Gameweek 23 had drawn to a close and I sat just outside the top 300k overall.

I talked up Burnley’s prospects ahead of their double, specifically focusing on Matthew Lowton (£4.5m) and Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.4m), and also touched upon Lucas Digne (£6.1m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.6m).

Since then, it’s all been a bit meh for my own team with no real rank movement, but for context, here’s how Gameweek 25 shaped up:

So, in this my latest column, I’m going to discuss my Gameweek 26 Wildcard and also run through my chip strategy. I’m not quite ready to share my final team as I’ll be tinkering right up till deadline, but after reading this you should know which players I’m leaning towards.

CHIP STRATEGY

The Complete Guide to Scout’s tips and advice to FPL Gameweek 23

Firstly, it’s probably best to talk chips.

The original plan had always been to follow up my Gameweek 16 Wildcard with a Free Hit in 18 and Bench Boost in 19. However, the fixture rearrangements that were announced on New Year’s Eve involving Burnley, Manchester United, Manchester City and Aston Villa, plus Leeds United and Southampton later losing their double, meant that I shelved that strategy.

So now, after much deliberation, I’ve decided to Bench Boost in Gameweek 27. Why 27? Well, I don’t want to hold too much value on my bench for too long after Wildcarding, and I also want to target two specific fixtures which I’ll come to later.

This new strategy of course effects the way I build this Wildcard, and as a result, there has to be some sacrifices as I attempt to spread funds around the squad. I’m pretty sure it won’t be for everyone, but I hope by reading this, you can at least see why I’ve included some players and dismissed others.

I should also point out that I still have my Free Hit and Triple Captain chips available, and plan to use the former in either Gameweek 29 or 33.

THE GOALKEEPERS

Villa bank 11th clean sheet as Martinez bags another haul

Emiliano Martínez (£5.3m) is a bit of a no-brainer in goal, given Aston Villa’s fixtures.

Though the team’s overall level has dropped in recent weeks he’s still making lots of saves. In fact, over the last four Gameweeks, he’s comfortably ahead of any other keeper in the division:

The second spot is harder to decide on, but for now I’ve landed on Sam Johnstone (£4.5m). 

West Bromwich Albion have looked much better in recent matches, now that their new arrivals have been properly integrated into the starting XI. I am realistic though, and do expect more save points than clean sheets.

Alphonse Areola (£4.5m) and Alex McCarthy (£4.5m) are other names I considered, and may still turn to, but for now, Martínez and Johnstone are in my draft.

THE DEFENDERS

A Manchester City double-up makes a lot of sense here, given that their 10-point lead at the top of the table has been built on a solid defensive platform. That’s seen them concede just nine goals in their last 23 Premier League games, which is pretty remarkable. 

However, given my OR and the fact I’m playing catch-up, I’m tempted to double-up in midfield which would give me the opportunity to pair Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) with Ilkay Gündogan (£6.1m).

Going in with one City defender, which would be either João Cancelo (£6.1m) or John Stones (£5.2m), does come with risk though. 

For example, the advantage I gained from Sterling’s goal against Arsenal was pretty much wiped out once they registered a clean sheet. I’ve just got to hope we see a bit more rotation in the coming weeks. It’s probably wishful thinking, but it does feel like I’ve got to at least try something different.

Fit-again Pereira already showing signs of last season's form

Elsewhere, I’ve also found a spot for differential Ricardo Pereira (£5.9m) who took up an advanced role as a right-winger against Aston Villa. 

There was talk that Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers had put Timothy Castagne (£5.7m) and Pereira on the same side to double-up on Jack Grealish (£7.6m), who eventually missed out. However, I don’t buy that, and these comments from Rodgers after the game do suggest it’s a tactic we might see more of:

“It’s been something I’ve been waiting to do for quite a long time, but this is the first period where both of those boys were fit to play. They’re different types. Because of how we play, they find themselves in that attacking third of the pitch quite a lot. Tim will run more without the ball and penetrate, and Ricky’s one who can be inside and manipulate the ball. I just thought that combination of those two, because Ricky is comfortable coming inside, he can turn, he can pass, he’s very aggressive when he attacks. I thought the two of them were very good and combined well together.” – Brendan Rodgers

Pereira finished the match with 33 final-third touches, more than any other player on the pitch. He also took three shots, twice testing Martínez, and took up some nice position’s infield which you can see on his touch heatmap from the game below:

I also like Digne, who is currently owned by just 8.8% of FPL managers.

Everton’s defence isn’t exactly watertight right now, but Tom Davies’ (£5.2m) recent performances and the return of Allan (£5.2m) offers encouragement that they can add to their total of five Premier League clean sheets.

It’s also worth noting that their opponents on Monday night, Southampton, have conceded the highest number of chances from their right-flank over the last six Gameweeks, and will be without Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.7m) and Oriol Romeu (£4.5m).

Luke Shaw (£5.1m) and Antonio Rüdiger (£4.6m) are also in my thoughts, I’m just not convinced now is the time to invest given their immediate schedules. 

THE MIDFIELDERS

The biggest decision here is that I can only pick one of Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m) and Son Heung-min (£9.5m).

Potential reasons for losing arguably the best asset in the game include fixtures (che + cry, mci, WHU, blank) and the fact I probably won’t captain him until at least Gameweek 32. Despite this, Fernandes usually finds a way to return so I need to think this through carefully.

The alternative is Son. I’ve heard some say he isn’t in form, which is probably fair, but tougher fixtures can do that to a player and we are talking about one of the league’s most clinical forwards. There is potential to do well beyond the double too, with games against Crystal Palace and Arsenal to follow.

City duo De Bruyne and Gündogan will be included, and I’m also considering Harvey Barnes (£6.9m).

The 23-year-old has already netted 13 goals in all competitions this term, and I see him getting plenty of joy down Arsenal’s weaker right-flank this weekend. James Maddison (£7.3m) being out isn’t ideal, but I’m hoping it won’t disrupt their flow too much.

Above: Harvey Barnes’ xG shot map in 2020/21

However, if I decide on Fernandes over Son, I might need to drop down to a cheaper option in this slot, someone like Ademola Lookman (£5.0m), Bukayo Saka (£5.2m) or Bertrand Traoré (£5.9m).

This of course means I can’t fit Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) in, which is kind of scary, but if there is ever a time to leave him out it’s probably now. 

Since beating Palace 7-0 back in December, Liverpool have played 11 Premier League matches and won just two. The injury to Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) is a further setback, and my feeling at this moment is that I’ll make a move for Diogo Jota (£6.6m) once fit. The Portugal international recently returned to full first-team training, and it’s hard to argue against the value he offers when available, having scored nine goals in his first 17 appearances.

THE FORWARDS

Harry Kane (£11.1m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) are obvious inclusions given their respective schedules, and it’s likely I’ll hand the former the armband too.

The final forward spot is still up for grabs, which unfortunately means I have to lose Patrick Bamford (£6.9m) who has been in my team since Gameweek 1, and is one of the few highlights of my season so far.

I’m looking at Mbaye Diagne (£6.0m) as a possible replacement, who has made a big impact since he joined West Brom and has been getting shots off in some good areas.

Above: Mbaye Diagne’s shot map (shots on target in green) since making his debut in Gameweek 21.

In fact, no forward has registered more big chances since he made his debut, despite sometimes looking isolated. 

Other options include Michail Antonio (£6.5m) and Ollie Watkins (£6.5m), and it’s likely I’ll make a late call on that one.

THE BENCH BOOSTERS

As I mentioned earlier, I’m planning a Gameweek 27 Bench Boost with an idea to focus on two fixtures.

West Bromwich Albion v Newcastle United

Albion have put in a couple of much improved displays against Man Utd and Burnley in recent weeks, and appear to have found a system which seems to be working. Signing a proper holding midfielder in Okay Yokuslu (£4.5m) is huge for them, and that improved defensive setup means I’m willing to take a risk on differential Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.5m). 

Following Semi Ajayi’s (£4.8m) red card at Burnley, the on-loan Arsenal man shifted out to a wider attacking role, which manager Sam Allardyce has hinted we might see more of in the coming weeks. I don’t have any stats to back it up, it’s more of an eye test thing, but for just one match I’m willing to give it a go.

West Ham United v Leeds United

The second matchup I want to target involves West Ham United, who are now in the top four and have a few players tailor-made for a Bench Boost.

Opponents Leeds United have now conceded eight goals from corners this season, a league-high alongside Sheffield United. Jannik Vestergaard (£4.7m) almost added another earlier this week, and given that the Hammers approach is largely based around crossing, I’m considering Craig Dawson (£4.5m). He’s already scored two goals in 10 games this season and always carries a threat from set-pieces.

I also think Marcelo Bielsa’s side can struggle against players who run directly at them, which is why I like Jesse Lingard (£5.9m) who has looked lively since moving to East London.

Above: midfielders sorted by shots since Jesse Lingard made his West Ham United debut in Gameweek 21.

So, I know this Wildcard won’t be for everyone but I hope having read this, you can at least understand why I’ve chosen the squad I have.

Also, before I sign off, earlier this week I was fortunate enough to join fellow Pro Pundits Lateriser and Zophar again on The FPL Wire.

We talked strategy, Wildcards and captains, plus loads more.

The chat complements this column, and goes a bit deeper into some of the players and teams covered, so if you’re into that kind of thing please check it out on the link below…

I’ll update you on how it’s going next time I check in, but for now, thanks for reading and best of luck in Double Gameweek 26.

    What are people doing that have both Dias and Cancelo. Dropping Cancelo? - some talk that he’ll be rested for atleast one fixture.

    1. jammie26

      Dont be silly.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      Stick with the City players you have.

    3. Hana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      For me it would depend on who you have to play instead of him

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

      Most City players will only play 1 game. Every possibility that Dias will only play 1 too. Never bench Cancelo.

    5. Luton_Fan
      • 14 Years

      Im dropping cancelo 🙁

    6. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years

      He'll play 3 out the 4 at least

  2. Mikha In A Tutu
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Antonio to Watkins worth a -4?

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

      Yes imo

    2. Knowsnothingaboutnothing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Check out twitter in morning, talk of Watkins injury

    3. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years

      Yes

    4. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      People are giving you bad advice. Watkins could potentially be injured. No one knows at this stage.

  3. HD7
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Currently on -8 but still considering Ings to DCL? Too much or just think about the transfer separately...

    Martinez
    Cancelo Stones Mitchell
    Salah Bruno Gundo Son
    Ings Bamford Kane

    Fraser, Mee, Strujic, Bissouma

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

      Ings to DCL definitely worth a -4 in my opinion

    2. Knowsnothingaboutnothing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I just did that transfer, DCL has two good games and Soton seem to be struggling and with poss DGW 28, DCL should repay the -4 quickly

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

    RP - Which option would you go for?

    A. Pope and Soucek to Fabri and Barnes (-4)
    B. Holding to Targett/Aina
    C. Soucek to Lookman

    TC26 WC31 FH33

    Foden or Barnes for -4?

    1. Mikha In A Tutu
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes

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

      Barnes, as I think Barnes will play x2, and Foden maybe x1 or x1.5.

  7. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this for a -4? Or any other suggestions?

    Adams/Sterling/Mee——>Kane/Doucoure/Cancelo

    Johnstone
    Rudiger - Stones - Mee - Lowton
    Sterling - Gundogan - Salah - Son - Bruno
    Watkins
    (McCarthy - Bamford - Adams - Alioski)

    Still have BB chip/TC chip & WC...(not sure when to use)

    1. D.Glynn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Has to be better options then Doucoure

  8. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years

    Areola or Lloris?

  9. Hana
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hi all,

    Plan on using my Bench Boost.

    Keen to ditch Soucek to get another DGW player. 7.0 to play with. Who should I get?

    A - Foden (risky game time)
    B - Pereira (ok fixtures)
    C - Other

    Pope, Meslier
    Mee, Taylor, Stones, Rudiger, Dallas
    Salah, Bruno, Barnes, Gunogan, Soucek
    Kane, Bamford, Calvert Lewis

  10. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bamford to Watkins -4 worth it? Or Raphinha to B.Traoré -4 worth it either? On BB with 13 doubles and doing one of these will give me 14.

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

      Bam to wakins prob worth it. Raph to Bertrand prob not.

    2. Hana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one. I can see Leeds scoring but probably an open game. Not sure a -4 is worth it

  11. CrouchDown
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    TC:
    (A) Kane
    (B) Salah
    (C) Neither

    Mee to
    (1) Shaw (-4)
    (2) Stones (-4)
    (3) Keep Mee

    1. D.Glynn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B 2 is exactly what I'm thinking

    2. gart888
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think I'm going to TC Kane.

      I take it you have a FH so you aren't considering GW29 in the 2nd choice?

      1. CrouchDown
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I don’t have FH but Mee doesn’t play GW29

        Should I get a Villa defender instead? Already have Martinez

    3. Westfield Irons ⭐️
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A2

  12. Gudjohnsen

    TC DCL or Kane?

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

      Gone DCL. Will probably switch it about a few times before deadline tho

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

      I'm edging towards TC DCL at moment. Both teams he faces have been leaky

      1. Kay317
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I'm on DCL trip cap too, feel safer going for kane but I like DCL fixtures more.

    3. Knowsnothingaboutnothing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Have the same dilemma, Kane on pens and DCL not is what's swaying me more to Kane but still not sure

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years

      2-2 imo

    2. FCSB

    4. fedolefan
      • 9 Years

      3-0 or 0-0. One goal and villa could let in a few.

    5. Warby84

    Which teams will likely have DGW for GW27?

    1. Chandler Bing

      City Vs Soton only

  15. Chandler Bing

    Have the Watkins rumors from earlier been busted?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Yes. With as much authority as the original rumours had..

    2. FPL Virgin

      • 7 Years

      Apparently he left the end of training to treat a bleeding cut, nothing serious.

      Rumours are swirling on Twitter though. I don't feel comfortable bringing him in.

  16. D.Glynn

      Never trust Potter.

    2. Well you know, Triffic

      No. Lamprey is back. Veltman could move to the left but we don't know.

    I plan to WC after BGW29... which combination scores more until then?

    A)
    Pope (tot LEI, ARS, eve, —)
    Bruno (che cry, mci, WHU, —)
    Ings (eve, shu mci, BHA, —)

    B) -8
    Ederson (WHU WOL, MUN SOU, ful, —)
    Barnes (ARS bur, bha, SHU, —)
    Kane (BUR ful, CRY, ars, avl)

    1. Luton_Fan

      B

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

      B probably

  19. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best option for this DGW & GW29?

    a) Aina
    b) Targett
    c) Konsa
    d) Dier

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      a or b. a is a great differential due to tiny ownership.

  20. gart888
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez
    Robertson Stones Dier Mee
    Bruno Salah Gundo Barnes
    Kane (TC) Watkins

    Johnstone Raphinha Bamford Dallas

    1.0 ITB, 0 FT, no FH to use in 29.

    Good to go?

    1. gart888
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ughhh, Dier should be Dias, not Dier...

    2. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years

      I have very similar, can’t decide between BB and TC

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’d be tempted to play Raph or Bam over Mee to be honest.
      I’ve got Lowton on my BB but he’s last spot (purely symbolic of course) and I’m expecting very little.

      1. gart888
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I just feel like 180 minutes is probably better than 90. If Burnley grab a clean sheet in either game then I'm hopefully looking at 8 points, or even more if he gets a lucky attacking return.

        I'm tempted to take a -4 and swap him out for a defender that I'll want to use in the BGW though. Thoughts on that?

  21. HD7

    Start Mee or Mitchell?

        Mitchell has the better fixs, question is will he play in both

      Mee (starts and goal threat) neither will get a clean sheet

    3. JoeSoap

      Mee, more likely to play two games

        I know but if Mitchell plays vs Fulham and they get a cleanie... I will be a little mad 😀

        1. JoeSoap
          • 10 Years

          If is the issue. I think he starts, they play better defensively with him.

    With a team with a bench on SGW players (3 x Leeds) and 11 DGW players.... is the best strategy to BB or TC Kane?

      Same as me I’m going TC because my keeper is Steer as I am priced out of a move for Areola :

        Mine is McCarthy... make a difference?

      Tc

      When will you use the TC if not tomorrow? If you have another week you think looks good then hold it. If nothing stands out then use it

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

        When will you bench boost if not tomorrow would be my question. TC can be used next week on city. Or any other smaller double surely?

        1. Gross Blank Point
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          They're talking of BB with 3 SGW players (good ones) but that's no different to any other week. If there were maybe 2 DGW players in there then yes, go for it, but there aren't
          TC for City next week, by all means, but which City player will play the two games? Salah/Kane/Bruno are probably 3 nailed on DGW players to pick from.
          I'm torn between bringing in either Salah or KDB tonight to TC, not enjoying the overthinking one bit, will be glad when it's out the way

    Any transfers worth a hit in your opinion? Have 2.2 to play with.

    Pope
    Cancelo, Dias, Mee
    Fernandes, Salah, Gundogan, Barnes, Raphinha (single)
    DCL, Bamford (single),
    Steer, Ings, Mitchell, Coufal

    1. Westfield Irons ⭐️
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Can you afford Ings + Pope > Kane + Areola?

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

        Can, thanks. Had thought of Ings/Mee>Kane/Aina, along similar lines.

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

      Mee (Spurs/Leic) > Digne?
      Son/Kane?

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

        Yeah it was either Mee/Mitchell to Digne (-4) or Ings/Mee>Kane/Aina (-8). Any preference?

  24. boroie
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bamford to Watkins worth a -4?

  25. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play one of Bamford, Raphina and Dallas over Lowton?

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

      I’d bench Lowton tbh

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

      Bam

    3. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Any of the three is better.
      If watkins rumors are true maybe even Dallas, but better raphinha. Bamford only reasonable as rank protector

    4. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Raphinha

  26. L S P
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    GTG WCT?

    Martinez
    Digne-Pereira-Dias-Stones
    Salah-Bruno-Barnes-Gundo
    DCL-Watkins

    Areola-Bamford-Raph-Dallas

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

      Yup

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years

      Really strong team. I WCed a week earlier and went a different route due to BB, but looking at that team makes me jealous

      1. L S P
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you both. Still have 3.0 ITB as well....weird.

  27. rjcv177
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Can't play BB right?

    Steer*, Dallas, Mitchel, anguissa

  28. Bobby
    • 14 Years

    How many in the top 10k will tc kane do you think?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years

      69

  29. EWH2020
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bamford to Watkins worth -4? I am on a bench boost

  30. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start Bam or Dallas
