Assessing Callum Wilson’s FPL appeal as a £7.5m forward in 2021/22

Callum Wilson (£7.5m) comes into the 2021/22 season as one of several promising mid-priced forwards between £7.0m and £8.5m.

As Fantasy Premier League managers look to this bracket for their savings in a campaign set to center around very expensive midfielders, we have examined Wilson’s appeal since joining Newcastle.

      too much money in GK.

      i do not like not having an 8m striker because its an important price point - you are 2 transfers away from getting in DCL/Bambam/Martial/Ings if they start off strong

      1. Zimo

        Ok thankyou! 🙂

    Not many are considering City assets, why is that?

      It's June - I wouldn't take any serious notice of what anyone is saying at the moment.

        Agreed

      Expensive

      Basically it is a lottery and the fact Liverpool, Everton, and Man United have such nice fixtures on paper makes little sense to get Man City this early. I am bit tempted by Mahrez though at some stage.

    Hi all! So I've started a Zombie League this year and will try to make it the biggest one yet.

    I also have a twitter account (link on profile) and trying to get it off the ground now.

    For anyone not sure how it works, create a new team and you're not allowed any transfers, chips or captain changes for the entire season. It's just a set and forget dead team!

      Having more than one team is against the rules, no?

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        You can create a team for your dog or cat

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years

          I have no pets

            • 5 Years

            You should definitely get a pet

      2. Wheyyyy
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Just create one under your partners/pets name and you're good to go!

        You could consider having a few kids to give them teams. But that should have been planned around 6 months ago it is a bit late now. You will have wait for next season.

      I really don't see the point sorry

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Dude is going to chuck in £100 first prize

        1. Wheyyyy
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Haha yeah £100 first prize will get people running!

      2. Wheyyyy
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Well i guess it's just a way of adding something unique to the season. It's always spoken about how high up some dead teams are ranked so if everyone puts in a purposely created dead team, it will be interesting to follow!

  4. LarryDuff
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Captain Jota Greizman or G.Moreno?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Greizmann

      1. LarryDuff
        • 8 Years

        Cheers mate

  5. Sterling Archer
    • 7 Years

    France will need the win so they can avoid the mighty english, time for Mbappe to step up! think im myt switch the captaincy off KDB's 6 points and go for it with Mbappe.

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Fortune favours the brave - good luck!

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      1-0 will do the job

    3. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      England is an easy game for them and an easier half

    4. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Whichever team comes out of that group, England is out.

  6. amplifiedAnt

    Very thankful that Perisic has ended this week's captain hunt.

    Purely for fun, who do we think will score more points from Gosens, Gnabry and Havertz (as I have all 3)?

    Think I would've wanted to put it on Gosens, but being the last day I'd probably have bottled that and gone Gnabry.

    1. Wheyyyy
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Currently have it on Havertz as a punt today!

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Havertz, though I wouldnt change the captaincy...

      1. amplifiedAnt
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, not a chance on that. I didn't have an awful lot of faith in a Perisic haul, so was delighted with it!

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Havertz I think he looks lively.

  7. No Professionals

    Anybody else had an issue where their Euro Fantasy team has just disappeared? When log in it is just at the initial pick team stage?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nope

    2. Botman and Robben

      Mine is working fine.

      There’s 2 apps you can get your team on, the EURO app and the UEFA game app, try and download the other one to see if you can rescue your team…

    4. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I did momentarily. I logged out, closed app and then logged in again. It was ok then.

  8. lawsy009
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Best captaincy choice out of the following..

    Alba, Gosens, Havertz, Gnabry, Mbappe?

    Any help much appriciated.

    1. Red Red Robins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Ha. Exactly the same list as mine. Had kdb.

      Thinking gnabry but only as he's due. Think havertz maybe

      1. lawsy009
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Ha ha! Brilliant. Yeah I compared Havertz and Gnabry on comparison tool for these EUROs and Havertz is way out in front. Currently leading his direction.

        1. Red Red Robins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          It's either havertz or gnabry.
          Muller out so sane could be in so with Havertz getting more central could be better.

          Honestly I'm so stuck on this haha. In going havertz

      2. PompeyUpNorth!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I think Gnabry will do a Depay so I’m thinking him

        1. Red Red Robins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Gnabry due defo. But havertz was getting into good positions

          1. PompeyUpNorth!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            I don’t disagree that he’s due as well but don’t forget he’s on a yellow so one more and he’s banned. Strong chance of him being pulled off when ahead perhaps? Whereas Gnabry more guaranteed 90? May be wrong but food for thought

            1. Red Red Robins
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Very very very good point. Hadnt even thought to look at that.
              Gnabry it is then.

              1. PompeyUpNorth!
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 10 months ago

                No problems

    What does the word "ratio" means when used on social media?

    Aware of mathematical "ratio" but not sure about the social media one 😀

    1. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It means the reply has or will get more likes than the original post 😀

      1. Hangman Page
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Kids these days.

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Ratio 🙂

        • Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Stupid me, that was simple! 😀

      3. Hangman Page
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Keep seeing that as well! Just people replying saying “ratio” and nothing else. It doesn’t detract any from the notion of Twitter being a cess pit. It’s like having a conversation with a group of people on coke all just loving the sound of their own voice.

      4. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I believe it means, my response will get more likes/retweets than the original post

          The rebuttal doesn't need explanation either other than being understood as a disagreement

          E.g

          Person A "rashford is better than Saka"

          Person Bs response "ratio"

          A full stop is also used in place of the word ratio

          1. Holmes

            https://twitter.com/utdziad/status/1407092991496495107

            Just came across this

        • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          It basically means you got one over on the other person.

          Basically happens when the person no intelligent reply so regurgitates the same old crap on every social media post

      5. Bambi
        • 12 Years

        Really liking the look of Sarr at 6.0. Good fixtures and he is the big fish at Watford

        1. R.C
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Would you go for Toney over Sarr?

          1. 3 A
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            I get both in my 2nd draft. Feels good...

        2. ivantys
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I can't convince myself to pick him when Harrison is same price.

      6. Disco Stu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Gnabry or Gosens today to replace KDB as Captain?

        1. Peter Ouch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Haha same dilemma.
          Kdb C now but I have Gnabry Havertz and gosens

          1. Disco Stu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            I have the same three. I kind of like Gosens for a clean sheet and at least 1 assist. That beats one goal for Serge or Kai

      7. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Gnabry or Havertz for C?

      8. rozzo
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        How are we all doing rank wise in Euro fantasy?

        I have 172 points at 73k overall, with Gosens and Havertz to play today and wildcard still for later on.

        Had a good first week but awful second week. Good week again this week to pull it back a bit.

        Where are you aiming to finish? Got any chips left?

        What is your strategy for the knockout rounds?

        I'm possibly going to have 3 Italian defenders in the next round. Then possibly play wildcard at quarters or semis.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I guess top 1k will be a good finish but I dont have any chips left, so top 50k will do the job.

          Strategy is to go all out on teams which play easier games and avoid double or triple ups in other games.

          Italy for now, will get 4 players. Only one from Wales vs Denmark.

        2. Joey Tribbiani
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          33k before subbing 5 points off today, 6 players left today. WC and LL used.
          2nd matchday ruined my chances of getting really good rank

          1. Joey Tribbiani
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Playing risky, not really caring if it goes wrong because I have a lot of other predictions and money bets on the line for euros

        3. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Will likely triple up on the winners of group F too they seem to have a nice knockout faze

        4. LSK
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          209 points. Ranked at 2043 with 5 to play today.

          No chips remaining so I’m picking players and teams who I think will go far.

          First four defenders are set in stone, Kimmich and Berardi will be in due to their price. Probably go KDB over Lukaku, Greizmann up front. Hoping Spain go through as they have some cheap options.

        5. amplifiedAnt
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Currently at 200, placed #6707.

          Gosens, Havertz, Gnabry and P. Torres to play today.

          No chips left, so I'll need to be slightly cautious with Round of 16 picks.

          Top 5k would do me very nicely.

        6. Salarrivederci
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          203 points and no chips left.

          Gonna be down to 193 after I sub out 10 points.

          Lewandowski, Morata, Gosens, Puchacz & Simón left to play

      9. Westfield Irons ⭐️
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Current captain is on 7 points, so 14 total so far.
        Do I twist for Gnabry? Could he get more than one goal?
        When I do my subs I'll have 59 points with Torres brothers, Gnabry and Goosens to come, so kind of happy with Matchday3, which puts me of moving armband. Thoughts please? Stick or Punt?

        1. JJeyy
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I’m going for Havertz

          1. JJeyy
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            On 6 points currently

      10. JJeyy
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Apparently Pau Torres is getting benched today, I assume it’s because he’s on a yellow

        1. Westfield Irons ⭐️
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          that would be a shame

      11. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Long story short, I'm due to get a massive(for me) win if Spain and France can win their groups.

        Spain maybe looks the least likely, that pen miss on sat was a heart breaker!

        Options are:
        A) stick it out, pick up 1.1k if it happens
        B) can cash out now for about 360.
        C) can leave it as is, and if neither win tonight, I'll pick up a minimum 100,be a bit more if 1 of them win.

        What would you do?!

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          C since you will get something out of it.

          Are A and C different or same scenario with different output?

          1. jason_ni
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            They are all the same, basically its a lucky 63( had never heard of it) but I picked all group winners, and it covers loads of others, like singles, doubles etc.
            Should say the initial outlay was 160, so c probably means I'd lose 60, rather than make 100 if that makes sense.

        2. R.C
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          B

        3. Dr. Rog
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          cash out to the extent that you cover your initial bet. run the rest.
          by the sounds of C you are already covered anyway.

        4. BrutalLogiC
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          B seems clesr to me although would want to know what I get if Spain don't win group and France do win group

      12. Silecro

        Bench one:

        A) Alba (svk)
        B) Gosens (hun)

          Sometimes Stones and Jota play, sometimes they just sit and watch the game peacefully.

          U just have 9 players then.

        Any possible 4m starters this year? especially from promoted clubs?

          Too early to see yet. Wait and see pre-season friendlies, injuries, players rested etc

          Hopefully a keeper and a 5th defender.

        Any word on the German lineup today? Presume it's safe to say Gosens, Gnabry, and Havertz all start?

          Can’t see many unenforced changes after beating Portugal 4-2 and still needing to get a job done tonight.

            Pedro won't play all the games, will he?

              2 years, 10 months ago

              He played most games last season, besides for when he was injured. I think he is Watford's 2nd most exciting player behind Sarr. Could be a risky pick but could also be a bargain at 5.5

        Howdy y'all,

        What the deal if I sub out Dumfries (1pt) and then P Torres doesn't play today? Does Dumfries get subbed back in? Or will I just get 0 for Torres?

        Did FPL towers removed Jack Harrison from game? Cant find him in either name search or through club listed players. And I know he was there yesterday with 6.0 price...sure as hell hope they arent recalibrating his price

        My first draft. What do you think?

        Sanchez Söndergaard
        TAA Shaw Digne Lamptey Sierralta
        Bruno Mount Raphinha Almiron Bissouma
        Kane DCL Watkins

          Well if England stays in the European World Cup for much longer chances are, that your forward line is sippin' Daiquiris in the Seychelles Islands with Shaw and Mount come GW1.

          1. ivantys
            • 3 Years

            They won't, will get knocked out next round.

              Even so. That's 6 weeks combined vacation, and pre-season. I'll bet you that all 5 of those won't be matchfit in GW1

                It's just a first draft based on the information we have now. It's all subject to change as we get closer to the GW1 deadline, ofc.

          • 8 Years

          It’s one of the two teams in training so some of this players could change. Though Gaya was always gonna play one of the group games so he will likely start.

          1. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            It’s a must win for Spain though, think they should be playing their best team which does not include Azpi, Garcia nor Gaya

              No Rodri & Koke is also suprising.

          I subbed him in for a 2 pointer already. Hope he gets gametime at some stage.

        Who to tranfer Gosens in for?

        a) P Torres (benched)
        b) Dumfries (1 point)

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years

          Dumfries can't get more than 1 point.

        Not sure if reported here already but Luuk De Jong is out for the rest of Euro 2020.
        Which makes Malen the only sub for Weghorst and Depay

        1. Pascal
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Weghorst is the only sub for Malen and Depay, the trio Gini/Memphis/Malen got a lot of praise and Weghorst will only come of the bench when Holland are behind, such is the general concensus in Holland.

          • 14 Years

          I like the Bowen pick one I did not consider. I am curious why you have gone Dunk instead of Lamptey though.

          I assume the 1.5m in the bank is to make changes for value players that arise during the first few weeks.

          1. Totalfootball
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Yes 1.5 is for that!
            Dunk is captain, will play 90,got 5 goals last term, can still change though

            1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
              • 14 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              It looks very solid on paper Ineanacho could be a question mark, but I assume he pushing for starts most games now. I assume the bench is very weak though. I planned a similar team to yours 3-4-3 except nothing in the bank or on the bench. All in double livepool defence etc
              Your approach seems more prudent with the 1.5m in the bank.

              1. Totalfootball
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 10 months ago

                What are your 4 midfielders?

                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 10 months ago

                  I m guessing you went toney for the 3rd spot

                2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
                  • 14 Years
                  2 years, 10 months ago

                  Whoops sorry I meant I created an initial 4-3-3 draft with

                  Sanchez
                  Tierney-TAA-Roberston-Shaw
                  Saka- Fernandes- Salah
                  Antonio-Wilson-Iheanacho

                  With nothing on the bench two 4.5 mids and a 4.0 defender and GK.

                  But for some reason I did not really like the look of it. Maybe I am blinded by how I was stung two years ago. When I went treble liverpool defence v Norwich - Alisson got injured and liverpool conceded worse still I captained TAA

                  --

                  So I have now swtiched to a way more balanced squad

                  I might take a risk on getting Henderson - If I do not I will get Shaw instead of Ayling.

                  Henderson (foster)
                  -
                  Lamptey-TAA-Tierney (Ayling-Omobamidele)
                  -
                  Trossard-Fernandes-Saka-Salah (Raphinha)
                  -
                  Watkins-Joao Pedro-DCL
                  -

                  Mainly because I became very tempted by the value and variety in the 6.5m midfielders.

                  Initially I did think of getting Toney in a 3-4-3 like you suggest. But I am not sure about him and would prefer to use that 1m on the 6.5m mids. It all hinges on whether Joao Pedro is a starter. I did a bit of research and he is very versatile, had a good season and can play on the wing or upfront.
