fantasy premier league wildcard – a few further thoughts

Fantasy Premier League

I think all FPL managers who have used their wildcard will go though many versions of teams before deciding and still be undecided when finally pushing the button.  Here’s my latest thoughts and 3 options.  

fantasy premier league wildcard – a few further thoughts

DEFENCE VS HM SON VS AUSTIN

I’m narrowing it down!

The top 10k overall rank ownership as shown by the excellent site FPL discovery shows that around 50% of teams have the following attacking players in Capoue, Sanchez, Aguero, Sterling and Lukaku.  In all drafts I will have Sanchez, Aguero and Lukaku.  Capoue I can see running out of steam.  Sterling I’m just leaving so not to be over committed on City.

I’ve decided for the next few excellent Arsenal games that I will definitely have a defender and Walcott.

My objective after that is to get Austin, Heung Min Son and a good defence.  Unfortunately on my budget that isn’t possible.  Given that my conundrum has basically been about which to sacrifice.  Defence or Austin or Son.  Most of the drafts play around that problem.

OPTION 1 – SACRIFICING DEFENCE

Here’s one which achieves  Son and Austin but sacrifices defence.  By the way thanks to Alex Ball who helped me with this way of dealing with the conundrum.

OPTION 2  – SACRIFICING HM SON

That takes me back to the Son out Snodgrass in to keep Austin and a defence

OPTION 3- SACRIFICING AUSTIN

That leaves me with a 3-5-2 option with Diomande or Stuani replacing Austin to keep a good defence and HM Son in place

I really don’t know which one to choose.  I’ll be cogitating all day but I may do an any time goal scoring/clean sheet  analysis overlaid with fixture ease  to try and put a stats view on it.

A mini poll in the comments column where you just say option 1,2 or 3 would be gratefully received.  Thanks in anticipation!
