ROB MAYES’ GAMEWEEK 6 TEAM REVEAL

I was always planning to get Erling Haaland (£14.3m) in this week, but with Florian Wirtz’s (£8.2m) benching, Robert Sánchez (£5.0m) feeling risky, and maybe a little bit of a rage-move thrown in… I’ve decided to pull the trigger on the Wildcard.

Here’s the current draft:

    Roeufs Dubravka
    Virgil Gabriel cucurella esteve Rodon
    Salah Ndiaye Reijnders Kudus Semenyo
    Isidor Haaland Guiu
    0.2m ITB

    Any thoughts on this WC team? Guiu should go and I would like an Arsenal attacker but Guiu will play when he’s back from injury and you can’t have them all. I would have waited until the IB but all my players lose value tonight so I am kind of being forced into it. This team will be set until the IB though, injuries aside, and then I will have 4 FTs to use over the IB when Liverpool’s formation is clearer which could mean I sell Salah .

      Guiu will play?

        I honestly think he will in a few games. He was brought back for a reason. Could be wrong but either way he is a cheap enabler and even if he doesn’t start, you’d expect a couple of 1 pointers from time to time. I could use the other 0.2 to get a 4.5 striker but who plays at that price?

      I'd say downgrade 1-2 defenders and improve Isidor. Guiu is not gonna be getting many minutes, mostly zero.

          I guess Chalobah or even Tosin. Cucu not getting defcon points, but will be more involved in the attack. I just don't think it's worth it to have 3 premium defenders.

        Also, Chelsea have said he will get minutes to prove himself. He will need to perform when he gets these minutes but I bet over the next few he gets some game time.

          After George's performance yesterday, I think it's more likely that he'll get minutes ahead of Guiu. He's fine as a cheap 8th attacker if you're ok with no guaranteed minutes. I think there are better midfield options for 4.5-5 who will get reliable minutes.

    Is this team ok to roll on for one more week before a WC? The * are players I feel need to go

    Kelleher
    Williams* VanDeVen Truffert
    Salah Semenyo Rogers* Gakpo* Reijnders
    Haaland Wood*

    (Dubravka Rodon Esteve Guiu*)

    Alternatively have 3FT if I need this week

    Feels like some pretty decent risk of a Porro rest and Spence and Udogie starting against Wolves
    Porro now started 10 games in the last 6 weeks, playing 90 in nearly all including in the cup tonight
    Bit annoying as Porro is the player a lot of WCers won't have!

      Similar price route as Sanchez into CHE def, but has set piece threat and DC's ...
