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.

    When the games were announced for this DGW, I thought that the EVE games looked the most appealing. This has been supported by what I have read in many of the articles on this site. So I’m going to ignore getting Kane and just make DCL my captain and see how it goes. No more over thinking it. Good luck everyone.

    Pope, McCarthy
    Cancelo, Dias, Targett, Lowton, Mitchell
    Bruno, Salah, Son, Gundogan, Barnes
    Bamford, DCL, Ings

      Great week for TC, the problem is the 10 options...

  3. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) Coufal to Rudiger
    B) Roll transfer

    1. deshawn7
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably roll

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

      Roll due to Chelsea fixtures

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Roll

    4. Wolfman180

      Cheers guys

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

    Play one:
    A) Bamford
    B) Dallas
    C) Raphina
    D) Lowton

    1. deshawn7
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Raphinha imo

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bamford as 8 still have faith in the penalty taker and main striker but comparing with Raphinha is a lottery that Bamford keeps losing.

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

    Planning WC in GW30 as no FH. What would you recommend?

    A) Son + Antonio + McCarthy --> Kane (c) + Barnes + 3.9m GK (-8)

    B) Coufal --> Digne (FT)?

    Pope
    Stones -- R.Dias -- Shaw
    Salah -- Bruno -- Gundogan -- Son -- Raphinha
    DCL -- Antonio

    McCarthy -- Bamford -- Coufal -- Holding [1FT + 1.6m ITB]

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

      Trying to use Kane as a differential in ML to catch up

    2. ScottyMaz12
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Difficult choices really when there's no FH involved, given you're losing 2 good BGW29 players but gaining 2 strong players for this week. I'd recommend doing B and playing ahead of Antonio, then a choice between Raphinha and Bamford as to who starts as your no.11.

    3. Hueng-min Son of a
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I like A, but I would personally do Pope to Areola for an easier double and he plays BGW29. Plus you can play McCarthy for his DGW27 if you'd like. GL

  6. FDMS All Starz

    BB26, no FH left

    Martinez
    Cancelo Shaw Dier Rudiger
    Salah Bruno Gundo Barnes
    Kane DCL

    McCarthy Bam Raphinha Dallas

    Bamford to Watkins -4? Yes no?

    Gives me 13th DGW player and also plays 29

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

      Yeah go for it

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

      I wouldn’t. I don’t think Watkins outscores Bam by 4

    3. ScottyMaz12
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      As a Villa fan - stick with Bamford and look to Watkins for GW28/29.

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

        Any particular reason?

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

          2 x 2pts is 4. Bamford scored hat trick against us last time and we look poor lately

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

            Oh okay I thought it may have been because of all these injury rumours

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

        Same I'm selling Watkins and playing Bamford most likely

  9. Dele
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What time are price changes?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years

      Play the %'s and go with Watkins, but its tough

    2. deshawn7

    3. Kiwivillan

    3. ScottyMaz12

      I would still, yes - planned for similar with Sterling, though that was to afford Kane. Gundo just very consistent on current form, which Foden isn't.

    According to LiveFPL, as of GW25 the usage for the chips in top 10k is:
    BB 58%
    FH 81%
    WC 42%
    TC 25%

    I really think for those of us who are lagging behind a bit but with all our chips, the next few weeks and good chip usage can really help to make up the difference and get some nice big green arrows.

      Yeah it’s a huge time, so many captain choices and different looking teams as well.

      Much more volatility.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah exciting week! Especially with so much rotation at City and top teams being out of form meaning people have looked elsewhere for their assets

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

          100%, no one even wants Salah with a double any more. Let alone trying to crowbar Robertson and TAA in.

          I’ve gone for Ederson Gundo and KDB as my 3 City. Chasing a bit, see how we go!

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      After this week those numbers will be very high I would assume.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely but over half have already used their BB so straight away that's an advantage for people with it, that have planned and are wanting to progress and make up the slack. Then FH for GW29 is gold - 81% have already used their FH and it will be very difficult to field 11 without taking substantial hits. I will WC after 29 for the last 8 games. Still unsure where to play the TC

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          You bench boosting this week?

          1. The Big Fella
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Certainly! 11 DGWers and the Leeds lot plus McCarthy to make up the numbers.

    1. ScottyMaz12
      • 10 Years

      Depends on rest of team and plans for this/future weeks really...

    1. dunas_dog

      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Digne

  26. Lord of Ings

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone punting on Diagne here?

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

      Trying to decide whether Dallas and Bamford to Digne and Diagne is worth a -8. Not sure yet.

      1. Rojo's Modern Life
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely not

  27. ScoutHelp
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez (Schmeichel)
    Dias Stones Shaw Mee (Lowton)
    Salah Bruno Gundo Barnes (Raphinha)
    Kame DCL (Bamford)

    I've taken a -8 hit so far and I'm also using the BB

    Should I take another -4 to move Mee or Lowton?

    A) Yes
    B) No
    C) Other ideas

    1. ScottyMaz12
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Who can you afford? For someone like Digne I'd say yes, good option for this and future weeks.

    Hi all, which pairing would you prefer on a Free Hit please?

    a) Digne and Stones
    b) Cancelo/Dias and Keane/Shaw (one of each)

    Will have Ederson in goal for double City DF.

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

      A for this week given you have Ederson

      1. ScottyMaz12
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, on that option currently.

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

    Still have TC/BB/WC left, worth saving all 3 for later DGWs or play TC on Kane this week?

    (will play WC just before future DGW for BB)
