The best FPL midfielders for a Gameweek 4 Wildcard

they are nearly all the same lol, but C looks best imo

It'd be great if you just posted the differences between the 3.
I like B, but I don't like Gray to be on the bench. Either have him as a starter, or just take a 4.5 and save money instead

The real King Cantona would never ask other people's opinion!

Never tried although I am a little concerned they withdrew money off my credit card without my permission for membership.

If you used paypal, first thing to do is go into paypal and remove this site as a preferred payment method. Without that it then needs to ask your permission to deduct

Do email support, they can sort it

I cancelled last week (or at least presumed I did), wouldn't have known how to or the fact they were auto renewing but for somebody mentioned it on here. They could at least email you a week in advance to inform that your account is being auto renewed I guess?

Always use paypal, and as soon as subscribe to anything go into it and cancel the recurring payment. All the robber sites use recurring payments as a norm now, and it is a blatent attempt to make money from forgetful people.

I fell victim to MLB TV and was a subscriber for nearly a whole extra year before I realised.

Looked into it.. you can't cancel because you already did!

I haven't been through emails yet, always come on site first, but will make sure you get a response if there's one still sitting there. But no need to worry as you cancelled many months ago.

Don't get me wrong as i am happy to support the site even though i very seldom give a look into the members area but i was surprised too that my subscription was automated.

Like who ever goes to the trouble of reading the fine print of the T&C's anyway?

Does feel like a bit of a money grab alright and i can see how it would leave a bad taste in the mouths of some people especially if the site does not make it easy for a member to get a refund easily.

Losing touch with the site base supporters with a stunt like that for sure.

Moves of the week

Template says yes

Definitely

Please dont come complaining when Torres is benched

or

E) Bruno & Ings -> Jota/Torres & Ronny (-4)

way I see it is you've got 9 potential changes if you WC- looks worth it to me

WC

I think you probably need Salah & Ron as your premiums, ditch Ings, Tsim & Barnes, move Brownhill for Allan … quite a bit of trimming imho

B

E

Wc

*8.1

Jota

A

This is actually one of the more interesting ones ive seen recently (ie not the monotonous Bruno/Ings->CR7/Jota??)
I actually think it is. Good trade.

No this week.

don’t think so, Jimenez has never had a high ceiling so not someone you want to take a straight hit on.

Toney scored last week and if we get a goal every 3 games or so on average then that is pretty good for his price. Nice fixture this week for him too

why Townsend ? seems like an odd pick

Prefer Sarr or Gray to Traore at around that price.

Cheers all, currently on B, thinking of going Kane over Ronaldo for a little while (as a MUN fan I won't be totally disappointed if Ronaldo does well at least).

B

B

Templateness - 10/10

would probably only go with 1 of jota/torres since might need to transfer them if lose their spot and having played an early WC u dont want too many such players

Raya & Christensen gives it an 8 for template-ness

Raya Christensen gray Torres Jota all have issues but could turn out great. Surprises me a little these picks are common on a WC. Some but not all IMO

They would not be my choices but Traore for starts and fixtures.

Benrahmi

You'd need to add Kaku in that as some are picking him over CR

Would've preferred Ronaldo not to arrive from an FPL perspective alright but I'm without him, Bruno & Salah atm

That's a valid point.

Yup, Shaw, Cancelo, James all look better. I currently have those alongside Trent with Sarr as first sub in case of a non runner (such as this GW he'll cover for James)

It depends if you already own them and whether they are likely to get you some attacking points buddy

Also depends what time horizon being planned for

All 3 of those guys you mentioned plus ESR are generally shorter term fixture plays hoping to net some returns in the next 3-5

Sarr also (likely) has penalties, and Traore can’t keep getting 0 returns from almost 0.75 XGi per game in this new role

Gray I’m not convinced on though so shame on me - I’d have ESR before him as ESR is a star in the making & also has great fixtures

Everyone already has Shaw so in 5.5/6.0 defender terms I assume you mean Digne, Dias, Cancelo, James?

Out of those I think the midfielders have good chances of scoring more in the next 3-5 (although I’d prefer Digne to Gray tbf, but don’t want to play a back 4 either)

Good point. Definitely one to take into consideration.

Can you not improve on manquilla??? Your option 1 is a must

If you are not using your wc best saving another -4 hit to get a better budget defender in. Ings has terrible fixtures so for me I’d concentrate in getting rid of him first.

Recent news (rumors) say he’ll be out for a few weeks but nothing concrete yet. Might be worth waiting until pressers, but not sounding good for us owners presuming you are one as well

Gilmour perhaps with a bit of set piece potential but they'll be stuck to your bench anyway so much of a muchness

for free might be worth switching if Ole hints he's good to go but nothing wrong with holding Kane either I reckon

You can do but by then his price may have rocketed. He is suspended for the last international match and will likely start against Newcastle. I’m not risking him with the captains armband though.

Yes that’s what I have done. If it wasn’t for him I would have saved my wc for the next international break. I had to get him to fit him and other premiums in before his price rocketed.

Who else are you looking to give the armband to?

That’s a good team without ronny

I would get Salah instead of Kane

GTG.

First non-Wild monkey team I've seen for a bit. It reminds me what the wildcarders are giving up by investing in one player.

Hmmm..does well against Leeds but last season was 1-1 at Helland Rd. Leeds have their main players back so I can't see much in it for Salah.

Leeds have been pretty dismal so far, so that probably means their defense will finally show up once people captain Salah

You are not wrong there. A 4-4-3 is my pick as well. There are always pros and cons with popular picks and you have already picked out some cons. Most of them are still good choices though but for me I will be swapping benrahmi out in gw5

I like it in theory but wouldn’t like having two 4.5 mids on the bench every week. Maybe when this seasons 5.0 Soucek breaks out id consider it. Still just think that 3-4-3 is the staple formation personally

Can’t even play FPL without having to worry about vaccination, haha. Resisting the temptation to use transfers now so I can wait until the last minute to hopefully get a good idea of who’ll be unavailable. This just highlights the importance of a strong bench and maybe even trying to bring in players who don’t represent their country.

I am holding. I prefer to monitor first.

Hold. Need more clarity on Ronaldo start and Jota plays in Azerbaijan tonight

Yep, do it.

A, easily.

seems the ultimate anti-herd move this GW and could be gold...Bruno v Newcastle, think of how many would captain him if Lukaku & Ronaldo never arrived!

Yep. Either him or Antonio. There has to be a lot of goals for UTD though so expect the points to be shared around.

Yes, that's the plan for now. And get in ronaldo gw 5.

If Firmino def out for a while then Tsimi to a Wolves 4.5 (playing instead of Livramento vs WH) and then Bruno + Ings to Ronaldo and Jota an option and the hit should be clawed back quickly. A/D 1 otherwise unless get an indication Ronaldo not starting

Do nothing until later in the week. Assuming no relevant injury news etc then at that point just do Ings to DCL and roll the other FT.

Using a transfer to move out Bruno at home to Newcastle in itself doesn't feel wise, whilst Lukaku has tricky fixtures for a bit and Ronaldo is certainly not certain/likely to outscore DCL in the coming weeks.

Gray.

For me it’s quite simple. I’m going Raphina, can bench Raph and play Ben White. Benrahma has United next week and Europa kicks in.

Getting rid of form players is always high risk. I wonder how many elite players are playing their WC this week? Not many I fancy.

If you're playing a WC you've got to be far more forward thinking. Both are likely to have less gametime and Bennys fixtures aren't as favourable as they have been this far

I concur with you completely. I used to think the same way before so I can get where they are coming from. These thoughts are purely based on assumptions made thinking that as now they have lot of talent in the team and fixtures are going to get congested, so they will not be nailed anymore.

Unlike Torres, in these cases we don't even know how Ronaldo & Vlasic are actually going to fit into their respective systems, but the desire to stay one step ahead of other managers causes you to lose them now itself even when they are in form.
