Here’s our fantasy premier league wildcard tips GW16 article where we pretend we have a wildcard to use. It gives you some player picks with more longevity than just the next gameweek. It also puts those picks within a structure and a team value that is realistic. Lastly it brings together our player picks articles in the “ones to watch” player rankings series.
FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE WILDCARD TIPS GW16 – OUR IMAGINARY WILDCARD
It’s a very short article. There’s no stats but go to our “ones to watch” articles where there will be detailed stats on each player. Here’s the links in each position:
You can also check on individual players fixture rankings in our fixture ease article and how many of the ten top FPL managers we follow have them in their team.
So here’s the team. It’s a bit on the unaffordable side at around £104.2m
So starting from the back I’ve kept with the 2 cheapest GKs for the save points. Stoke reserve GK Grant has some respite with Jack Butland continuing to get injury set backs.
I’ve gone for the 2 best defences next both with good fixtures in the short term. Vertonghen is the cheapest Spurs defender and Alonso for Chelsea has a ton of attacking potential to the extent that he’s practically a winger rather than a full back
The it’s 3 cheapie defenders. Jones of Man Utd is too good to ignore and Nyom and Amat are make weigths
In midfield it’s the big 2 of Hazard and Sanchez. Then I’ve gone for the fixtures and set pieces of Payet and Sigurdsson. De Roon is the cheapest of the playing midfielders.
Upfront I ranked Ibra higher than Kane but come on it’s Burnley and Hull next. Then it’s the obvious of Costa. Anichebe is the funds provider but good enough to squeeze in 3-4-3
Hope that with our “ones to watch” articles this gives you some ideas for your transfers or wildcard if you’re lucky enough to have one.
Here’s a reminder of the GW16 fixtures
