Pras’s Gameweek 35 Wildcard team + thoughts

25 April 2024 335 comments

Pras (FPL)

Our team of Hall of Famers and guest writers are writing about all things Fantasy Premier League (FPL) in 2023/24. Here, The Wire co-host Pras discusses the main decisions to be taken on his Gameweek 35 Wildcard.

After a wildly swingy Gameweek 34, we head to the next phase: Gameweeks 35-38.

I see them as a block given the ‘double-doubles’ for Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur but also the good fixtures for other teams like Newcastle United, Manchester City and even Manchester United.

Before discussing my draft, I thought I’d pen down my views on these five teams to see areas where I could veer as we find out more about injuries by Friday.

Chelsea

Not the best time to be tripling up on a team that has just been humbled 5-0 by their London rivals. However, with Cole Palmer (£6.2m) hopefully back and Nicolas Jackson (£6.8m) making a Houdini escape from a 10^th yellow card, I think those two are solid picks.

Their upcoming three opponents have an xGC in the last six Gameweeks of:

Aston Villa – 11.94 (17^th)
Spurs – 9.21 (12^th)
West Ham – 12.8 (19^th)

If Palmer isn’t fit or uncertain, I’d be tempted to keep and play anyway, unless there is some confirmation he misses the full double. Then there is a real decision to be made.

As things stand, adding Malo Gusto (£4.3m) (again if fit) or Djordje Petrovic (£4.6m) to the above two attackers is where I am leaning.

Newcastle United

  Think I would save, White is the best option given you already have Burn but difficult fixture

Assuming all confirmed fit tomorrow…

A) Gusto, Dalot, Johnson, Hojlund
B. VDV, Maguire, Jackson, Fernandes

The Man Utd players would be benched and likely only used in BB37 and one in 36 to replace the Spurs player.

  It's good but that looks like an awful benching headache, I'd also play Fernandes (he isn't Spanish)

On wildcard - with Pope potentially coming back, is it worth risking A to have funds for Mateta (probably going to swap him for a double gameweeker ahead of 37 if there are no other fires)?

A: Dubravka, Gusto, Mateta

B: Petrovic, Burn, Muniz?
