The best FPL midfielders for a Gameweek 7 Wildcard

With many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers activating their first Wildcard ahead of Gameweek 7, we’ve picked out some of the best midfield options on offer across a range of price-points.

However, it will also be of interest for those looking at ‘free’ transfer targets ahead of the upcoming Gameweek.

All stats taken from this article are from our Premium Members Area.

You can read our look at the stand-out forwards here.

MOHAMED SALAH

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 2? 7

On current form, Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) is clearly the standout premium midfielder on offer.

Playing some of his best football since joining Liverpool, the Egyptian has already racked up five goals, three assists and 57 FPL points in just six Premier League starts. His 25 goal attempts, 22 shots in the box and 4.38 expected goals (xG) are all league-leading totals, while his 9.5 points per match is more than any other player in the game.

The Reds’ attacking form is also worth touching on. Jurgen Klopp’s side have now scored at least three goals in six successive matches in all competitions, averaging 22 shots per game, while they also lead their Premier League rivals for goals scored, big chances and xG.

Despite his premium price tag, Salah hands FPL managers a reliable captain option most weeks, and building your Gameweek 7 Wildcard squad around him is a wise move.

BRYAN MBEUMO

Brentford impress as Arsenal devoid of ideas without attacking stars 2

Despite a couple of testing fixtures up next, Bryan Mbeumo (£5.5m) remains one of the most exciting budget midfielders available in FPL.

With Ivan Toney (£6.3m) dropping a little deeper and linking play in Brentford’s 3-5-2 formation, Mbeumo has been tasked with running in behind, and as a result, trumps his team-mate for big chances, penalty area touches and xG.

His -1.41 xG delta suggests that he needs to work on his finishing, but the fact he is getting into good goalscoring positions is of course encouraging.

JACK GREALISH

Antonio, Benrahma and Son among eye-catching FPL assets as De Bruyne returns 9

In an attempt to capitalise on Manchester City’s Gameweek 8 to 10 fixtures, investing in one of their attacking options makes a lot of sense.

However, with uncertainty surrounding Ferran Torres’ (£7.0m) game-time, plus Kevin De Bruyne’s (£11.9m) problematic price tag, team-mate Jack Grealish (£8.0m) may well be the best midfielder on offer.

The England international has now started every Premier League match for City since his £100m move from Aston Villa, and though there will surely be rotation at some stage, right now, he does feel like one of the more secure starters in Pep Guardiola’s XI.

Slotting in on the left of City’s front three, Grealish marked his home debut against Norwich City with a goal and provided an assist in the 5-0 win over Arsenal. He also scored an impressive solo strike on his Champions League bow against RB Leipzig, and despite a third successive Premier League blank at Chelsea in Gameweek 6, has contributed significantly.

The former Villa man is top or joint-top among his teammates for chances created, shots in the box, efforts on target, big chances, penalty box touches and expected goal involvement (xGI).

RAPHINHA

Raphinha and Bamford both deliver returns as Saint-Maximin steals the Newcastle show 1

Raphinha (£6.5m) turned in his best performance of the season so far against West Ham United in Gameweek 6, as he netted his third goal of the campaign, while only the width of the post denied him another.

His -1.43 expected assists (xA) delta suggests that he has been unfortunate not to turn provider this term, and given that Leeds United have some appealing fixtures ahead, the Brazilian looks like an excellent Wildcard option. 

However, his fitness and forthcoming involvement with the Brazil national team should be monitored ahead of Saturday’s FPL deadline, with his country due to take on Uruguay on Friday 15th October, just one day before the Whites visit Southampton in Gameweek 8.

“He let us know that it was becoming difficult to stay on the pitch. Throughout the whole week, he was recovering from the knock he received against Newcastle. He played a great game as long as he could stay on the field.” – Marcelo Bielsa on Raphinha, who was withdrawn midway through the second period in Gameweek 6

ISMAILA SARR

Sarr underlines differential potential as Chelsea earn another clean sheet 10

Ismaila Sarr (£6.3m) scored his fourth Premier League goal of the campaign last weekend, as Watford came from behind to earn a point against Newcastle United.

As a result, the Senegalese winger now ranks third amongst all midfielders for FPL points (39), ahead of an appealing trip to Leeds United in Gameweek 7.

Longer-term, however, there are legitimate concerns around Watford’s attack. Outside of their convincing 3-1 win at Norwich City, they have created just two big chances against Aston Villa (h), Brighton and Hove Albion (a), Tottenham Hotspur (a), Wolverhampton Wanderers (h) and Newcastle (h) combined, and with a mixed schedule coming up, that may be enough to put some off.

However, Sarr is Watford’s talisman, and has provided real value to date.

BUKAYO SAKA / EMILE SMITH ROWE

With nine points from their last three matches and an appealing schedule ahead, Arsenal’s budget midfielders are suddenly on the FPL radar.

Bukayo Saka (£6.2m) and Emile Smith Rowe (£5.3m) claimed season-high hauls in Sunday’s north London derby win, with 13 and 12 points respectively, which coincided with both players being used in arguably their best positions.

With Martin Ødegaard (£5.5m) installed as a no. 10 in Mikel Arteta’s 4-2-3-1 formation, Smith Rowe featured on the left, but would often drift infield into more central areas where he could affect the game, with Kieran Tierney (£4.9m) supplying the width down that side. On the opposite flank, Saka generally stayed wider, but Ødegaard would sometimes move into his zone, which in turn encouraged the England international to cut inside.

Arsenal’s average position map v Tottenham Hotspur in Gameweek 6, featuring Ramsdale (no. 32), Tomiyasu (18), White (4), Gabriel (6), Tierney (3), Partey (5), Xhaka (34), Saka (7), Ødegaard (8), Smith Rowe (10) and Aubameyang (14), plus substitutes Lokonga (23), Maitland-Niles (15) and Tavares (20).

The duo linked up well for the opener, ending the game as the Gunners’ expected goal involvement (xGI) leaders, and with fixtures now easing, could offer value in midfield.

SON HEUNG-MIN

Buendia assists two Watkins goals as Son shines on pre-season return 1

Despite some worrying performances at Tottenham Hotspur in the opening weeks, Son Heung-min (£10.0m) has continued to produce, netting three goals and 32 FPL points in just five starts.

However, there are wider issues at Spurs.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have scored just four goals in six Premier League matches, while the underlying numbers – they rank 19th for xG and 20th for goal attempts overall – are equally concerning.

You get the feeling that Son needs an in-form Harry Kane (£12.1m) to truly thrive, which suggests that investing now is a risky move, but if you do feel like a punt on one of the best finishers around, Aston Villa (h) and Newcastle United (a) does feel like a reasonable couple of fixtures to attack.

CONOR GALLAGHER

Zaha and Maupay on target as Brighton earn late draw 4

In another energetic midfield display, Conor Gallagher (£5.7m) bagged an assist in Gameweek 6 after winning a first-half penalty against Brighton and Hove Albion.

The on-loan Chelsea man has now netted two goals and three assists since joining Crystal Palace, and ranks 11th amongst all midfielders for FPL points.

However, it is worth noting that the return of Luka Milivojevic (£5.4m) to Monday’s starting XI meant that he was no longer on set-pieces. Considering that a large chunk of his xA total had arrived from dead-ball situations, it is a blow, but he still warrants attention.

Gallagher has been the driving force in Patrick Vieira’s 4-3-3 formation so far this season, regularly breaking forward into the attacking third, which is captured on his 2021/22 touch heatmap:

With Leicester City and Newcastle United’s shaky defences up next at Selhurst Park, Gallagher remains a decent budget option.

DOUGLAS LUIZ

If using a 3-4-3, 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 formation on your Wildcard, it’s highly likely that you’ll be on the lookout for a budget midfielder. And while Yves Bissouma (£4.6m) and Allan (£4.6m) are two of the more popular options right now, Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz (£4.5m) has emerged as a viable alternative in recent matches.

Key to that has been a system change at Villa, which has seen Dean Smith line up his troops in a 5-3-2 / 3-5-2 shape. That has meant that the shackles are off central midfield pair Luiz and John McGinn (£5.8m), who no longer have as many defensive responsibilities with a back three stationed behind them.

Luiz’s new role is captured on his touch heatmap in Gameweeks 2 and 3 (left), when Villa used a back four system, and between Gameweeks 4 and 6 (right), in their new shape.

The Brazilian international’s creative numbers are also on the up since Gameweek 4, as he ranks joint-fifth amongst all midfielders for chances created and ninth for xA.

Having started 32 matches for Villa last term, his place in the starting XI is fairly secure and he should at least offer appearance points, with the potential for a few assists along the way.

ALSO CONSIDER…

In addition to the names detailed above, there are others who deserve a mention, too.

Providing Mason Mount (£7.4m) is passed fit, he is a nice mid-price option who has goal and assist potential, with the latter boosted by his share of set-pieces. You’d expect him to produce a steady stream of attacking returns in the coming weeks given Chelsea’s fixtures, and with his ownership down to just 9.5%, he could prove to be a clever addition. 

Elsewhere, despite blanking at Leeds United in Gameweek 6, Said Benrahma (£6.5m) put in an excellent shift, with only an Illan Meslier (£5.0m) wonder save preventing him from breaking the deadlock early on. However, the fixtures are turning for the worse for the Hammers, especially when paired with a demanding UEFA Europa League campaign, which is worth factoring in when considering their assets.

After Saturday’s daunting trip to Chelsea, Southampton’s fixtures ease, with 90-minute man James Ward-Prowse (£6.4m) an option, albeit a fairly uninspiring one. However, being on penalties and all set-pieces shouldn’t be sniffed at, and he did show last season that he is capable of producing back-to-back goals and assists.

With the return of Roberto Firmino (£8.8m) from injury, owners of Diogo Jota (£7.7m) will surely have to get used to rotation, but he has proven that he can still deliver off of limited minutes. It does make him a tricky ‘buy’ though, and if predicting Klopp’s XI isn’t your thing, Demarai Gray (£5.8m) – the seventh highest scoring midfielder in FPL – might be worth a punt. Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.6m) and Andros Townsend (£5.4m) are alternative options at Everton, but given that Gray is ahead – albeit narrowly – for shots and penalty box touches, it does feel like he is perhaps the Toffee with the most potential.

Demarai Gray v Andros Townsend v Abdoulaye Doucoure key attacking stats 2021/22

Before we finish up, there has been one glaring omission on this list: last season’s top scoring FPL asset, Bruno Fernandes (£11.9m). However, despite the fact that he could still be on penalties, he has registered just four shots in the box since Cristiano Ronaldo’s (£12.7m) arrival, and that makes it hard to justify the outlay. Manchester United’s fixtures also stiffen considerably over the next two months (see below), leaving them bottom of our Season Ticker. Given that fixture swing, now may be a good time to hop off the likes of Mason Greenwood (£7.7m) and Paul Pogba (£7.8m), rather than bring them in on a Wildcard.

    Who would you say is safer for minutes out of Christensen & Thiago Silva? Or avoid both?

      Christensen imo.

      I'm leaning to Chistensen but accepting that he'll miss from time to time, looks a safer pick than Thiago, imo.

      Probably could have lost by 2-3 goals tbh.

    The amount of goalkeeping errors leading to Ronaldo goals. Beaten at your near post like that is shocking. Fair play to him though probably the best to have even done it.

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I reckon the goalkeepers must be a bit starstruck when Ronaldo turns up in front of em with the ball at his feet.

  6. The Red Devil

    Thoughts on TAA + Shaw -> Rudiger + Dias (-4)?
    Assuming shaw is out this weekend, only got Marcal who'll start, so i feel the moves make sense in the long run, though man city might concede against pool.
    will do Ronaldo to Vardy to buyback TAA

  7. McPollolocco
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Should i do this? 2FT

    Shaw -> Christensen
    Sanchez -> Ramsdale;

    1. waldo666

      Just Shaw to Christensen

    2. FCSB
      • 8 Years

      Why not Alonso or Rudiger?

      1. McPollolocco
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Because i'm in a mini league and a player may only be used by 1 user, so Rudiger and Alonso are not available

    Tuchel : "I felt we were a bit slow and tired, mentally slow, decision making. That's why it's a strange one to analyse." That sounds like he could freshening things up to me ?

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, will see the likes of CHO, Chilwell, Werner starting at the weekend.

      1. Carlton P
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        CHO looked good when he came on

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      they just need to start creating chances again, missing Mount, but that's not the only issue.

  10. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years

    Who to go for Alonso or Azpilicueta?

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Dave

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Azpi

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      probably Azpi for game time, but CHO will be given some opportunities I expect at RWB

    4. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Funny how if you asked that yday and the day before most would say Alonso

      1. caldracula
        • 8 Years

        A lot can change in 24hrs.

      Alonso- international break then follows

  11. F4L
    • 9 Years

    Any Villa fans about? What are the chances of Villa staying in a wing backs system, liking the look of Cash

  12. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    After tonight’s showing who would you go for? Rudiger or Alonso? Is Alonso nailed?

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If subbed for tactical reason tonight, certainly Alonso.

      1. caldracula
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Tactically subbing Alonso at half time a 0-0 is a good sign?

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Chillwel playing scared is a good sign

          1. _Freddo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Chilwell has lost it, looks a shadow of the player from last year, something not right there.

            1. Baps hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Alonso hasn't been great either tbh. I think that this situation is so unclear, that the best thing to do is to have neither.

              1. _Freddo
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                I'm not sure why it's so unclear, Chilwell has been fit & available for a while now (the same time as Reece James) with Alonso starting all 6 PL games & only missing 5 mins in those 6 games.

                He's clearly first choice now & the start tonight highlights that, when given mins Chilwell has looked a shadow of himself.

                I guess we will see what we want to see.

                1. caldracula
                  • 8 Years
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  Chilwell hadn’t played a competitive game since the champions league final so not match fit at all…

                  1. _Freddo
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 14 Years
                    2 years, 6 months ago

                    This is incorrect, he played a league cup game last week & wasn't great to go along with the 45 mins today which he was not great for, not sure Tuchel will risk getting him up to speed after back to back defeats.

                    Maybe after the International Break.

                    1. _Freddo
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 14 Years
                      2 years, 6 months ago

                      He hadn't played a match because Tuchel didn't pick him, he wasn't injured, both him & James started training at the same time after the Euros.

        2. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Because he was on a yellow card. So now he has a 45min rest more than we expected

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Actually only 15-20 minutes more.

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      All tactical or personal musings aside, the question I was interested to see answered was: is the chance of Alonso starting in the PL increased or decreased by tonight's game?

      For me, the answer is 'increaded' or at least not decreased.

      Imma swap Shaw out, Alonso in.

  13. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I think I might go for this setup in defence on WC next week

    Ramsdale/Foster
    Dias Cancelo Rudiger Duffy Livra

    Duffy and Livra too good value,with so many 6-6.5 mil mids preforming I dont think I need 4th premium defender. Tuchel will rotate and I can live without one Chelsea cs. This setup also allows strong mids and Vardy. Dias to Taa if needed

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Have you checked Duffy / Livra rotation?

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Why? I will play 3-4-3

  14. Firmino
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thinking of just playing Digne against tired and out of form United. Could get something.

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Won’t be the worst thing will it
      I’m tempted I won’t lie!
      What are you thinking?

      1. Firmino
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Well it's Digne or Alonso in for -4. Can't be sure he starts against Southampton after today.

        1. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Wouldn’t take a hit pre IB when you have players available on the bench

          1. Lord of Ings
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I’ve Brandon Williams
            I don’t count him as a player.

  15. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you:-
    A)Play digne
    B)Take a -4 and get Alonso/rudiger
    In a week with so many injuries and where a lot of hits will be taken and I can field XI without taking any hits,I’m leaning towards A.

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Why do you need to take a hit for B, have you already made a transfer?

    2. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Like minds

  16. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Why was Alonso subbed at HT… on a YC and rested for the weekend?

    1. Flaming Flamingo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      They were drawing away against Juve, why would he be rested for Southampton at home on the weekend?

      1. FCSB

        More the YC with players running at him, eliminate the risk of a second yellow

        1. Flaming Flamingo
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Maybe, but if he were that trusted and integral to the team Tuchel would have been willing to take that risk with the game in the balance.

          At the very least this is a worrying sign looking ahead, even if he does start on the weekend.

          1. FCSB
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Would you go Alonso or Rudiger in for TAA…?

            It’s for this weekend only as then WC

            1. Flaming Flamingo
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              I would lean towards Alonso not starting, so Rudiger imo

      2. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        They were losing

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          It was 0-0 when he went off.

  17. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    So Alonso not injured right, Tuchel just subbed him to mess with activated wildcards…

    Anyone waining from Lukaku captain due to their lack of creativity?

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Me likely to Captain Ronaldo now

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes may switch to Antonio but know it will come back to bite me

  18. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    One week punt before wildcard for free.
    TAA and Jota >> Lowton and Son?

    1. wulfrunian

      i like it

  19. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Guys please pick best for GW7 A) tierney b) white c) Marcel (but already got semedo) d) reguilion e) Perreira?

    1. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Tierney.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks starting to think him instead of a Chelsea defender

  20. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Captaincy is really tricky this weekend.
    Was set on lukaku but this poor showing has given me second thoughts
    Southampton have been solid defensively recent as well.
    I expect Everton to stifle united as well so I’m not too keen on Ronnie either
    I’m leaning towards antonio(just like last week) just about.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Benrahma to outscore all those.

    2. N00B
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think I will go with Raphinha.

    3. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If I had Wood,I would put an armband on him before wc

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        It’s quite easy to get Wood

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Will look at it first thing on the saturday morning

    4. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Southampton aren't Juventus ...

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Nor are Manchester City. Saints just can't defend like that, no way. C Lukaku locked second time this season.

    5. tommo1989
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would you consider Jimenez if you had him?

  21. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Kind of tempted to play digne vs united now instead of taking a hit…
    But being a united fan rooting for a digne cs just doesn’t feel right..

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Was Set on selling him. Now have TAA Bamford (Jota) to transfer out first.

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would sell for Chelsea def. Even for a hit If you need to play him.

  22. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Arnaut Danjuma was very impressive for Villarreal tonight.

    I would do a swap deal for Danjuma and Martail or Rashford even in a heartbeat.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Liverpool was linked to danjuma last summer but it was another name like Raphinha and bissouma ending with milner and henderson in starting 11 against city.

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        It would be just like Klopp to make a shrewd singing like that.

  23. _figu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Pretty funny I've ended up doubling up on Arsenal defence. Didn't see that happening after 3 GWs.

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Who?

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        White & Ramsdale.

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          White great value pick although I am thinking tierney for better threat

          1. Maeki2
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I was really impressed by tomiyasu last game is he a certain starter?

            1. Stranger Mings
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Yes I think so - good shout

  24. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start 1?.

    D.Luiz (Spurs away)
    B.Williams (Burnely away)
    Livramento (Chelsea away)
    Sissoko (Leeds away).

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B or c

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Luiz

    3. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

    4. Maeki2

      2 years, 6 months ago

      D

  25. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Selling TAA and James
    Allows
    Rudiger and Antonio in

    No brainer right?

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Gives me a full 11 and 2 nailed subs
        I'll bring TAA back in after they play United
        Flip flop probably with Antonio

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If you have some kind of a bench why not delay that decision to post international break

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        My bench is currently Taa James Scarlett and I have Raph starting.

        11 players at best

        1. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          and a good rank haha
          Fair enough. I have TAA James too and forced to play Armstrong Livra as I don’t want to take a hit unless I have to.
          Ideally want 2FT in 8 to get city defender and probably Chelsea too

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I have 2 now, Cancelo and will have Rudiger

            All systems go I think!

          2. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            2 frees that is. You can probably work that out mind you.

            Yea I'm very happy with my rank!

            Need to keep moving up!

  26. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is Saka worth paying .9 over ESR or do you think ESR actually a better option?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I personally think ESR is best

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah Saka for me

    3. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wasn't ESR pretty bad last season? Thinking Saka

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        What has last season got to do with anything?

        ESR has been Electric this year and now he's returned finally

        Sad I sold him tbh

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          He has

      2. Mighty Banana
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        3 goals less than Saka, with 1000 less minutes.

    4. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      My view on this. If ESR is going to be rotated in your team then he’s a great sub to have. If Saka is an every week starter then might as well go for more nailed options in Raphinha and Sarr

    5. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Saka plays more. Close though. I'd go Saka

    6. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Saka has better underlying stats but it's pretty even when we money comes to the comparison. Depends on what you can do with the money.

  27. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start ESR or greenwood?

    1. Zaruto
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Lingard could be a starter

      1. Maeki2
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He will be

      2. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sounds like i should play ESr and bench greenwood

  28. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    So apperantly Coufal is injured as well...There go my chances of fielding 3 defenders this week

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Take a hit!

  29. C-Dawgg
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Could someone please look into the future and let me know if Trent and James will be fit after the international break?

    Also DCL if you can stretch to it.

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Spoke to Trent, he said he’s trying to be fit for watford game but it’s touch and go.
      James should be right but his manager doesn’t rate him.
      Tried to reach DCL but Benitez answered and said he’s currently getting a pedicure on the broken toe but it’s healing well

      Hope that helps 🙂

      1. C-Dawgg
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Hold Trent and DCL, sell James.. got it!

  30. Bonus magnet
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    TAA +Barnes -> Rudi + Son (-4)?
